Suunto Race 2 General Discussion
-
@rooldaa I thought exactly the same thing and am very satisfied with the R2. I even suspect that the R2 is also well suited for mountaineering. I do miss the third button though.

@Highlands said in Suunto Race 2 General Discussion:
@Brad_Olwin Hello Brad. Is the SV2 not light enough? I believe with a nylon comes under 60 g?
The steel V2 is not. I ordered a Ti V2 for my own use and it is arriving at my house today. I will not be back to my house until Oct 29 so……. I cannot tell you and I am clearly disappointed.
-
@rooldaa Not a bad choice. I have a steel V2 that I received for testing and it is very heavy for me. I have an R2 titanium that is a delight to wear and I have a Ti V1. I think a good choice as in your shoes I would wear R2 for daily and all of my running workouts with light gloves in winter. V1 for anything with heavy gloves. The R2 crown is frustrating to use with heavy gloves.
-
@Brad_Olwin A “Button Mode” on the Race would be great. Then everybody could choose if they want to use the crown or instead the buttons. As the crown also is a button this should work…

@VoiGAS The last two winters I used Race 1 for alpine skiing and ski touring. Absolutely no issues whatsoever.

Worst ever upgrade continues with bad luck and visible scratches on blackened titanium bezel. After couple days of carefull use, bullet proof titanium bezel now has 3 white scratches.
No drops, no impacts, nothing to justify these super-brilliant and higly-visible white scratches over textured and intense black.
Googled, and cant find any solution for cold patination of titanium; while steel and aluminium, at least, can be blackened with simple gun blue cold patination.
I hope someone from this forum or forum moderators can help with an magic recipe for titanium cold blackening or an miracleous solution to remove black titanium patination without abrasives?
Any suggestions?
Considering remove all black patination with scotch-brite abrasives, but the plastic body is subject of an potential disaster of polishing process and end of this 600EUR investment in the plastics recycle container after only 3 days of use.
Sapphire scratch proof glass with easily scratchĺable blackened titanium bezel just duo of elements for marketing. 2 years of continued work over all improvements of Race1, results in marketing improvements only.
BIG thank you for this amazing Race2 titanium deal

@tas2581 Post some pictures, preferably macro shots. 🧐

@tas2581 my Race 2 is also scratched. I managed to scratch it outside somewhere on a rock. But I don’t mind, it’s a tool and it is always going to get scratched sooner or later, you will get used to it.

Does a Suunto without any little scratch has lived enough adventures !? You have 30’ minutes to write your thoughts !
(Joke appart : both my SV1 and SRs have scratches on bezels, but not a single one on screen. And considering all they have suffered, those are very little scratches)
-
I had quite big white scratch next to Suunto (near baro sensor). I polished it with my thumb like 5 minutes or more, and scratch is like 95% less visible, i can barely see it.
Titanium version. -
watch is not an tool it is unique and most important acessory of a men.
Probably you have more than one watch if considering your suunto as an working hammer or working axe and dont need your watch beatifull and eyecatchig, is’n it? I have only one, for workouts and for romantic dinners. Maybe you can explain purpose of micro-textured surface of bezel? I see only one reason, to make it more brilliant and more attractive for potential client, sacrificing surface durability of “this tool”
Where are you want to go with macro fotos of scratches and 30 minutes???
This forum is for real users and should not to be an washing pool for sponsored bots.
I have a good sex, wild, nice and almost every day many times twice per day, so no place for insatisfaction, I’m happy.
was always happy with Race1, Suunto9 Baro, Saprtan, Abit2, Ambit, T6C, T3C and T6.
I have little scratches on Race1 and these are invisible, watch looks perfect for an accessory and for an working tool after 2 years of everyday use, drops and hundreds of impacts.
But I’m not happy with Race2
with pricing, quality, materials, perfomance and now with durability. -
@Tami999 you have diamond thumbs !
-
Scratches are visible bothering myself. Much more visible due to the microtexturized surface of bezel.
Any solution for cold blackening of titanium or how to remove black patination without abrasives and potential damages? -
@tas2581 then a titanium watch is not for you, as it will simply scratch easily. That would be the case if you would have just one mechanical tanium watch as well. I know what you mean - men don’t have juwerly, our only accessories are watches, but this is a sports watch … you’ll do with this watch other things that you would with a mechanical watch - wear it in mountains, in a rugged environment, etc. Expecting to not get a scratch from a sports watch is like expecting to not get scratches on a beautiful sports car when you park it just outside on the street, where it belongs. Just my two cents

Is there a way to set up notifications to only vibrate and not have a tone?
I’m aware of the settings: General -> Tones -> Buttons off / All on / All off.
I would prefer to have it set to “Buttons off” so I can have tones during an activity, but vibrate only for when a notification comes through.
