Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
@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.

@Tami999 main concern is during sleep, bigger watch are cumbersome, and i think that overly big watches look gaudy depending on arm size

After 3-4 days of sleeping with watch I cant imagine sleep without. Trust me :P.
I only loose strap by one hole. If I wear while sleeping my watch on same hole that I use during day, during sleep my hand… swell? (is that good word in english?) and my hand is red under strap. Like if I would wear it wery tight during day. Well its natural body reaction. During night, natural physiological process happens. Kinda hard for me explain it in english. But watch size/weight never bothered me during sleep. -
Photos of the Race 3S model can now be found on a Japanese site. I think direct links aren’t allowed, but google “Tele soumu” and you should be able to find the photos.
The design has a lot in common with the Race S model.

Google photos with this tele soumu dont show anyting, even if i set last 24h or week. I tried to find on this japanese site but with no success :D. If You can share photo on private, i would appreciate if you could.

On reddit someone posted all three versions of Race 3S photos.
600 vs 2000 nit, 30 vs 45h dualband GPS, 32 vs 64gb storage and sapphire crystal in Race 3 S
Still not official so no photo here.
-
@Tami999 That could have been AI generated - I don’t believe them.
-
@Tami999 I don’t think this graphic is true. It claims to be an identical display size, what I cannot believe…
-
We will see. Iam almost sure I saw somewhere on instagram someone with exactly same watch strap like this white/orchid.
-
At ,El Corte Ingles" spain electronic site there’s Race 3S pre order for 499 euro. Launch 15 october. Same photos as leaked on reddit few days ago.
