        @zebulon Have you considered putting the music player in a plastic bag? Low tech, sure, but it would help against sweat.

        Regarding the music quality I’m personally not sure I notice when running. I mean, I often don’t realise the track has changed…

        Do remember, however, that bluetooth is incapable of carrying high quality audio (even when using the so-called high-quality codecs) so wired headphones are the only option if you really want CD quality or higher. Or you buy headphones with built-in music storage (whether bone conducting or not). So, if you want high quality music you wouldn’t get it from a watch no matter the brand because of the core limits of bluetooth.

            The single biggest question for me is … which strap to choose!

              This one is for my daughter, I have an extra blue strap for her.

                @Brad_Olwin Can you share an image of the white Race S with the blue strap? That‘s one of the color combos I am thinking about to buy.

                          @Brad_Olwin Could you measure the full length of the strap please? I’m pretty sure my wrist is around 22cm, much more than 175mm as indicated on the website.
                          My shortest strap on a regular watch is 250mm, so I don’t see how I can wear it without buying a separate strap for it.

                            I would also like to know, if there are two straps s+m inside the box, wouldn‘t be nice if there‘s just the s-size strap inside…

                              @damuko I think the idea of both straps is in winter you can wear the watch over a jacket. I have found this very useful.

                                How are vibrations on Race S? For me S9PP an Vertical did not feel decent for my personal feeling (too noisy, too strong, …).

                                  @zebulon Hi! I totally agree, please, please make it possible to play mp3s directly from the watch through bluetooth headphones.
                                  I know the reviewers are asking themselves “who even listenes to mp3s in 2024” but I know quite a few people who actually still do.
                                  I understand it is not a priority to work on but please do not totally discard mp3 playback feature as not important at all.
                                  Thanks and cheers to you all!

                                    @raceaddict it says that against the black on online now.

                                    Any thoughts on if the other colours will be available at the same time? I really want the pink!

                                      you should be pleased with it.
                                      not noisy like some S9PP. To me it seems to be just right 🙂

                                        The German official Suunto website says that the sales launch for the Race S is 9th July. Yeah! Looking forward to next Tuesday then. Maybe this is as well the date for the firmware update for the other watches? In one of the pictures pre-launch I have spotted at that time also a newer version of the Suunto app. I remember it had a more modern (my opinion) layout. Also the women’s cycle tracking is still missing. So next Tuesday bid day?

                                          Has Suunto changed the night mode/DND so that if I tap the screen in the middle of the night, the screen does not go to full brightness? I returned the Race for that and many more reasons but now ordered the Race S to test that out.

                                            Actually, with DND on, tapping the screen does nothing. You need to press a button to activate the watch…
