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

      9 Peak Pro Since 2023
      Maybe a Race 3S soon ?

        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.

              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. 😛

                        @Tami999 in term of design, compared to original SRs the bezel side angle seems a bit more pronounced.
                        Can’t wait to see precise features/caracteristics

                          @Tami999 also you now find a FCC filing for the watch model number OW265.

                          NFC and 5GHz WiFi are the points that I’ve seen in them at a first glance…

                          But 499€ is quite an increase over the 349€ for the Race S…

                            Yes I agree, but you are comparing a Titanium+Sapphire watch (Race 3S) with a stainless steel+Gorilla glass one (Race S). The price of Race S Titanium was 449€ (and it did not have sapphire) it I remember well

                              @SergioB ah, in that case, 50€ increase is ok, I guess…

                                50€ for upgrad the gorilla to saphir glass.

                                  new OHR and GNSS chip as well (I guess same as Run 2)

                                      I’m curious to see what Race 3S will bring on the software side… If we consider that we currently have Race S at around 300€ that runs almost same software of most recent watches (R2 and V2) and has similar battery life or R3S, the 200€ difference “just” for materials are a bit much IMO.

                                      Yes, RS does not have the latest OHR (but if we want e.g. Zonesense, we still need to use a chest strap) or the latest GNSS chipset (but I don’t recall RS being not accurate).

                                      So, nothing, I’m just really curious:) Maybe with some more new software features (that will not be included in future RS updates) maybe R3S will become more appealing to me also 🙂

                                        Im interested in seeing what the new Race 3s will bring as well. Ive seen some of the leaks and it looks quite sleek. Apparently the weight is 53grams which would align with the Run 2 (with silicone strap) weight.

                                        If this is the case, then I guess the differentiator would be potentially materials between the two and added price.

                                          I think and hope that Race 3(s) will have the new v3 OS from the Run which Suunto then will have to extend to handle structured runs with configurable data screens.

                                          So less use of Apps and Guides and more functionality built in. Allowing direct upload of a workout from any source like intervals.icu without having to go through a Guide that cannot be configured.

                                          That plus AI functionality has probably been a huge effort for Suunto. What typically happens when you do a completely new generation of SW is that the user becomes disappointed because there is not so many new features. But as they tend to say the new architecture enables more advanced features in the future.

                                          Note this is purely my speculation, I have no insight into what Suunto is doing!

                                            @matram I hope the Race 3s will also get the Run software but hopefully with added external training plan syncing functionality…

                                            Honestly the Run OS is great and has a lot of upsides compared to the Race/Vertical OS but for me not having external workout sync is quite disappointing
