Plus it has a new and again improved OHR sensor.

does it share the same OHR and GNSS hardware as the Run 2?

No. OHR is different hardware.
GNSS is from Sony, not sure about the exact chipset. It works like a charm!

@Egika how does it work for old people eyes?
I like the some but need to be able to read the screen without reading glasses.

[SuperFlo75]

I would like to know which firmware is running on SR3s… is it 2.xx or 3.xx?

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Egika considering your experience, how do you see this model fit for S9PP replacement?

[Janne Leppamaki]

I’m thinking the same, S9PP replacement in my thought also

[Tieutieu]

My Wife uses the 9pp, I have the Race S.
For an upgrade I would choose the Race 3 s now that it’s out.

[dcrainmaker]

@SuperFlo75 2.57.64

From the UI it is the same as in Race S and other adventure models.
The umber itself does not say so much, as Run 2 is running on version 2.x.x as well.

[Tieutieu]

Route Planner is catching my interest !
For the rest nice upgrade ; I will likely go for it and give my SRs to my son

[isazi]

@Tieutieu the race planner is not a Race 3S only feature as far as I know, next firmware update will be very interesting also for Race 2 and Vertical 2 (and also Race and Race S, but they cannot always get all features)

[Impulso]

DCRainmaker also talked about an MCP server being available from Suunto. Does anyone know anything about it?

[Mff73]

My experience, except if you are allergic to rotating crown, and amoled, R3S is far better than S9pp. Reliable OHR, even for my case where none were working, and… Maps.
Not speaking about design, it is a matter of taste.

@Stoke80 it also supports offline music playback, like Run and Run 2.

R2 and V2 will be update to support also offline music ?

[isazi]

@Mi_chael I believe that requires additional hardware that is not available in Race 2 and Vertical 2.

For AI Coach let’s use different topic https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15994/suunto-ai-coach-discussion

[cosme.costa]

@isazi Sooooo, nothing for the SV1…

[martintrail]

Could someone please give me a quick summary of what’s coming up, aside from the R3S watch? I’m having a little trouble following everything. When will the AI coach be available for everyone? When is the Q4 update coming? When are the Vertical1 and Race updates coming? It’s all a bit confusing to me. Thanks.

[isazi]

@cosme.costa not right now, need to wait a bit more

[isazi]

@martintrail no one can tell you all this

Today you get the R3S, Suunto AI is already available if you have R3S paired, next year should be open to the other watches. Q4 is coming in Q4. Race should get it together with Race S, Race 2, Vertical 2, and Race 3S. Vertical 1 has its own schedule.
