      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

          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.

                        @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

                          @VoiGAS I mostly disagree on parts where he says “It is subjective opinion” about how he likes his watch and app, I like it way different. (for example “action button”, the app experience, strength training part in Coros, feel on hand, microphone and some other things )
                          Another thing he is comparing Coros map with Suunto “light map” at least he should try to use “high contrast” on Suunto also to have similar comparison.

                            I agree with him that Suunto maps lack contrast, especially rendering of trails. In both light and dark modes trails are often rendered as green on green so the contrast isn’t great. I use the hight contrast mode most of the time but it lacks other details and even it isn’t optimally high contrast because light grey color is used for the map elements rather than white. When I zoom out to 500 ft and 0.2 mi zoom levels trails become too thin and are difficult to see even on high contrast map. And I don’t even mention that with a Coros map I’d get a larger radius of visibility of trails.

                                      @dani_degi the only thing I can tell you is that the R3S features not requiring new hardware will be part of the new firmware for Race, Race S, Race 2, and Vertical 2. Race and Race S get everything the others get, provided they have enough resources for that.

                                      Other than that, Q4 firmware has many new features, but those cannot be disclosed until release.

                                          @elbee I dont believe Liesheng will come up with another Suunto MiP watch. Their last MiP was the V1. Still, I believe that there are considerable amount of users who’ll buy it just for the MiP.
                                          No idea either about a stainless steel version. I’m not affiliated with Suunto, so I can only guess.

                                            @Highlands totally go with you. A MIP Display in a Vertical 3 would be the best. I have amoled watch, too but i love the very Long battery use with the solar
