How is the size of the Race 2 compared to the Fenix 7?
-
@2b2bff I can only say for Race 1, but I think Race 2 is the same in size.
Compared to fenix, they’re about the same even though fenix is 47 mm and race is 49 mm in width. They feel kind of the same. I think it’s the bezel size and pins that hold the wrist belt. On Race they are a bit steeper, so the whole size looks a bit more compact, and on the other hand Fenix is more spread out, so it feels a bit larger. -
@2b2bff I have both and the Race 2 is a monster screen compared to the Fenix 7 Pro. 1.5 seems to dwarf the 1.3. Fenix’s seem to have a lot of metal and fluff outside the display where the Suunto is more of a display first display on the wrist. When I have the Suunto on my wrist it feels like an instrument vs the Garmin feels like a fashiony display. Just my opinion.

@Stavrogin I have a Race S and an Epix Pro 47mm here. I think the Epix is a tad too large for me, but bearable. I wonder how the Race 2 would feel…
-
@2b2bff I think it would be too large in that case. The Fenix 7 pro (47mm) and the Race S feel similar even though there are all those metal bits around the Fenix screen. The Race 2 will seem really really big because it is all display.
When I first put on the Race 2 and the Vertical 2 they seemed comically big due to the 1.5 screen. It felt bigger than a 51mm Fenix/Epix because of the still larger screen.
The Race S is a great compact running watch that does great on the trails and on the street for me running.
-
@Stavrogin I don’t know whether I would call the Race S and Epix Pro 47mm similar. The Race S is physically smaller and slimmer. But I guess you are correct that the Race 2 would be too large for me…
-
@2b2bff From the pictures above there is a good chance that the Race 2 will hang off the sides of your wrist. It looks like the Epix is hanging off a bit.

Race S lug to lug distance is 48mm. Can someone measure the lug to lug on Race 2 and Fenix/Epix Pro 47mm?

Epix Pro 47mm is 55mm…

Maybe a tad, but I think that is more the perspective of the wide angle of phone cameras nowadays. The Race S sits better, though…

@2b2bff Thank you
