Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
@aiv4r Some questions remain -
Will there be a non-titanium version?
How much will the Race 3 be?
Will the Race 2 and Vertical get the same updates given they run on the same chip (Apollo 510) albeit with less storage
Will they reduce the Race 2 further?Watch: Suunto Race S

Nice Evolution, the Display brightness is the only thing I don’t like on the RaceS. Sounds like this is covered. But if Race3S is really double the price I will keep the “old” one
The name should be Race2S given the amount of news -
Is the route planer something new or enhanced ?
-
@Steven-Hambleton i really hope we will not see Race 3 until next year at least.
My assumption is that updates for Vertical 2 and Race 2 will be the same as for Race 3S anything else would not make sense. (But it is the new Suunto, so you never know for sure) -
But no silicone-carbon battery as it seems.
-
I don’t see any mention of a barometer… (?)
-
@Pavlas This would be an indication that there is one…
-
@Pavlas You worried that there is no barometer in a watch that is marketed for trail running?
Or you wondering are there any updates?
-
For us geeks. Here is more information about the new processor in the 3S.

“Every Race 3S bought before the end of 2026 includes three months of Suunto AI Coach.” So a subscription is almost a sure thing. I have no problem with that - happy to support Suunto
- but I want to get something useful, so we’ll see.Suunto Vertical Ti Solar

@matram The most interesting thing is that the Apollo 510 still supports MIP displays. It has its own dedicated interface for this, in addition to MIPI DSI for AMOLED. A Vertical 3 with MIP would be technically possible. The fact that the watch is going with AMOLED is therefore purely a product decision, not a hardware limitation. So we’ll see.

@matram
It’s not actually that new
Has been out since 2024. Race 2 and Vertical 2 already use the same SoC. -
@Lazar-Dimitrov Yes, true, that’s probably why there’s no hardware-related reason to split the software for the 3s, V2, and R2. So I’m curious to see what features from the R3s will make their way into other models with the same hardware.

@martintrail yes for now Race 3S users will have this feature in the Suunto App. It is a chatbot that can interoperate with the app itself, create routes, training plans, give feedback. Next year or so the feature will be open to all Suunto users, with a subscription, as far as I know.

@martintrail there are actually hardware differences between Race 3S and Race 2. Most features will also reach Race 2 and Vertical 2 (e.g. the EnergySense)

@isazi
I have pretty good experience with using Claude for my training so I am looking forward to see how this will work.Will there be some more information, a video describing the feature maybe?
-
I guess that I can answer some questions this morning as I have some time. I have been testing the Race 3S for a while now, before summer if I am not mistaken.
-
@matram I am sure there will be, if not from Suunto, from third-party reviewers. What is important is that the feedback of Race 3S users will shape this functionality that for now (and for them) it is in beta and free.
-
@isazi Hopefully there is a button to switch this off.
-
@jthomi I have not found it
