Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
Don’t remember if links are allowed (photos not) but on Reddit there’s photo of Race 3 box (or race3, the ,S" could be not on screen) I have no idea if that’s AI or not, for me seems quite legit. Also new watchface quite similar to Run 2 and last NEXUS watchface.
Name of thread ,Need a new watch, how close is Race 3 ??" and photo with label ,Oktoberfest". Decide on Your own if it’s fake or not

@Tami999 race 3 box looks real enough. Interesting developments, we will see
Suunto Race 2 (Titanium Trail)
Suunto Vertical (Titanium Solar Forest) -
For anyone not keen on digging, this is the photo that was posted on Reddit claiming that the Race 3 will be released during (?) Oktoberfest.

Race S
-
@Squirrel I don’t see any images?
-
@Squirrel I wouldn’t mind a Race 3S
-
No thanks on another “S” variant. I SMASHED the like button in the survey when asked about a bigger watch with a bigger battery.
Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.
User of pretty much every watch since the Ambit 3 Peak. Now back in the family w SV2 :)
-
@stromdiddily Why not? I think there should be a big and small for all watches!
-
@stromdiddily Its precisly the opposite for me, I have small-ish wrist (165mm circonference, small ish for a man, but imagine for a woman), and 43-45mm is already on the bigger side.
There’s already huge 49mm watches available, we need smaller, good quality watches, and the Race S is subpar (not Sapphire for example). -
@stromdiddily my wife does not like big watch. she is still happy with her suunto 5peak.
-
not Sapphire for example
Is this really a need? Or is it just a feel better thing?
I had non-Sapphire Fenix watches for 4 years and the Race S close to 2 years. Hadn’t have a single scratch on the glass during that time…
Suunto Race S
Garmin Fenix 8 -
@2b2bff my Race S has some scratches. But it depends on the sports you do. Rock climbing for example is extremely likely to damage the screen…
-
@Egika indeed, but this applies to Sapphire as well…
Suunto Race S
Garmin Fenix 8 -
@matram flashlight - it’s the one thing I really miss from my Garmin Fenix (particularly red flashlight)…I used it almost every night as I am old enough to frequently need a night-time bathroom break!
-
@2b2bff not according to my experience.
My Race S is pretty scratched, while my Vertical and Vertical 2 screens are spotless. I use all watches in the same way. -
@HonzaS I tried Garmin Connect+ for 5 days (free trial) and realised it was hot garbage. I pay for Claude Pro for Ai coaching but would rather pay Suunto instead if their subscription plan was actually any good (but core features need to remain free)…
-
@Egika maybe it is not as easy, but it can happen: https://www.reddit.com/r/GarminFenix/comments/1wrd53d/psa_sapphire_does_scratch/
But as I said, I wonder whether most people just want it, rather than need it…
-
@Squirrel I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right!
-
@2b2bff Definitely a need, I had a few watches before my 9PP, and all of them had their screen scratched before their 6 months, whereas my 3 years old 9PP is looking brand new.
At that point, a non-sapphire watch is a no-buy, no matter how good the rest is -
@Elipsus That’s why I choosed in past bigger race instead of race s for my “not a big wrist”. No regrets. Maybe if I would work office only and wear it to run on the street - that’s ok.
