Suunto Race 3S General Discussion
-
@atoponce don’t think this is available in any Suunto to date, let’s see if field testers can confirm this is the case in Race 3S
-
@herlas some things are happening to lap displays. In the release state I think it is like other devices for Race 3s
-
@Steven-Hambleton
I also completely agree with @mlm31The price is indeed a bit too much, and I wonder if we get Bluetooth solutions on the SR3S. A thing one can expect for this price.
To add: is there Race 3 coming? What humongous price will that have.
-
So, what will the price for Race 3 be, then?
-
@sunter Race 2 titanium is 599 EUR
-
According to Race S, 3S and other watches, the Race 3 Stainless Steel will be around 550 EUR, and the Race 3 Titanium around 650 EUR. Meanwhile, the Race 2 Stainless Steel will be discounted by 15% to approximately 400 EUR, and the Titanium version by 20% to about 500 EUR.

A race 2 steel for 400 euro and race 3 steel for 550 euro? The race 3 is ‘t going to be 150 euro better.
A race 3 would be a direct competitor of a garmin forerunner 570, which is 499 euro. 550 euro would be a hard sell (even though I value the features a race 3 has and the garmin lacks higher than the other way around. My bank doesn’t support garmin pay and I don’t listen to spotify during my long runs. I do use navigation a lot and the added context of maps is nice to have)

@Brad_Olwin
Here the Race S Ti - 450€
Race 3S Ti sapphire- 500€.
If they charge me 50€ for sapphire, then I get for free the better oHR sensor and other improvements?I think the newer OHR is better, at least for me. It matches what I get from the belt even interval running (I only tested this with Tempo but will be testing with running intervals. And, I did not test the 3S but use the new HR sensor on the Run 2 and other test watches). For me the OHR sensor and sapphire are worth it. Ordered one for my daughter as it is the perfect watch for her. She runs ultras and is quite fast so the battery in Performance mode will be more than adequate for 100 mile races.

@Brad_Olwin I’m not buying it but I like it very much. Hopefully, they add a stainless steel and MiP versions, so they can cover more potential customers.
-
Stainless steel bezel might be possible. Mips is out of the question. In the production process you can easily swap one bezel for the other, but you cannot easily swap display types. For one, a mip screen would be thicker.
Commercially, it would also not be smart. Most people like pretty screens. Only a few see the many advantages of mips (including me). Suunto don’t have the luxury to make watches for a small niche. They need cashflow.

Maybe the combination Steel bezel and Gorilla Glas. Then a 100€ price difference could be realistic. Like it was in the past with all other Suunto watches

@Egika i just put my comment here after watching DC review. What is your view on it?

Although I plan to keep using my race s for quite some years, a watch with just a steel bezel and gorilla glass for less would be preferred when I need a new watch.
(Do have to say, maybe I was lucky but I never scratched or scattered my screen. Someone in my athetics club changed from a fenix with saphire, to a forerunner with gorilla glass and now has a scattered forerunner 965 and he will never buy a watch without saphire again)

Another YouTube review - I feel the real comparison should be the Race 2.
-
Can someone help me? If I use Spotify, how can I get the music onto my watch? Do I need to convert Spotify songs to MP3 using a converter?

There is no direct link to import songs from Spotify to your watch and the licence agrement prohibits you to scrape songs from Spotify and put them on your watch manually. I don’t have a run or race 3s, so I don’t know how you would sync the scraped files (which you don’t have because not allowed) to your watch, but that would probably explained in the manual.
-
@Set_218 there is no legal way for you to get music from Spotify and export it outside Spotify itself
-
@Set_218 You can’t. You need your own DRM-free MP3/M4A files, meaning files you’ve purchased. MP3/M4A files downloaded for offline listening through subscription services won’t work.
-
@Steven-Hambleton Oh man I have so many disagreements with this guy doing review. I guess it is super subjective.
-
@aiv4r What do you mean? Just watched the video and mostly he is stating facts. Price, specifications and his own test results. I found it very interesting
