Suunto Race S general discussion

@ADidier Wait a few days/weeks for availability
For titanium not before Q3 and still gorilla glass (no sapphire) see https://the5krunner.com/2024/06/25/suunto-race-s-review/ -
Can anyone confirm whether it’s possible to see the remaining descent for a route on the Race S? The Race removed the custom battery mode that allowed the touchscreen to be on for activities, and that also removed the ability to tap the elevation screen to toggle between remaining ascent and descent. The result is that the Race has no way of seeing remaining descent, which seems like a huge oversight. Has this been returned with the Race S or the new firmware that’s coming?

@Brad_Olwin Thanks, I believe you, no images needed
I should add both screens are the same resolution 466x466 so the Race S being smaller appears sharper.
-
Now the price for Hungary far more better.
But that won’t be a good business for Suunto, I guess.13598 HUF, which is about 35 EUR
Just for sure
-
@kamarasm They are struggling with zeros I guess
-
@logger the new route altitude profile shows remaining ascent during ascent and remaining descent during descent (in the zoomed profile)

The complication design is constrained by the watch face (some are round, some are rectangles, and so on), but it works very well.
Once confirmed the complications if you tap on any they do not change, right?
Oops sorry I just found out that it was asked and answered earlier. In a video I saw that you can also leave the complication blank. Great!

correct. the circular changing by tapping is gone with the full customisation.

Any ideas anybody when the Race S can be ordered in Germany?
-
@Patrick-Löffler-0 in the US you can already order it. No idea when it will be on stock for Germany…
-
@Egika that implies a lot of refresh of the page for me damn
They could have put a date on the page of the product
Ocean was open for orders 2 days after announcement if I remember well I was expecting the same for the SRS -
What is the purpose of this hole next to the baro sensor? -
@Hari-Seldon Wind blowing less affecting the sensor? Getting water out?

Got it! I hope it is effective or at least mitigates the issue

@EzioAuditore
Found in a spanish forum
-
@raceaddict Yes I assumed so. It’s a design other brands share as well.
-
@raceaddict Knowing that on the Race the design is already different from the two options in your photo.
The holes are located just below the logo at the bottom of the ring.
-
@Hari-Seldon it is part of the baro design, allows for water to get out easily and not get trapped inside.
-
@isazi To your knowledge, have any tests been conducted even in high wind conditions as well? This is probably the issue I am most interested in… my 9PP used to go crazy in those situations
-
Cool to see that Suunto brings some small upgrades about wind or mater effect on elevation mesurement…
But I still don’t get if it is a very frequent problem with current models. I have been using my SV in very wet and windy conditions many times, and it has always been perfectly accurate. That was absolutely not the case with my A3P and my S9b that were awefull on that.
