Suunto Race 3S General Discussion
-
@raven Does “I’m prone believe” means “I’m sure 100% that this is true.”?
And answered why I’m proned to believing so.
Also, I replied to that I never said that in my mind Suunto should make only MiP watches. This is the place where you put words in my mouth. Again, next to the amoled I want to see a MiP version as well even though I believe after V1 Suunto are done with MiP.I didn’t say you thought Suunto should make only MiP watches, I asked you if that’s what you thought. You said no. My question was answered.
I actually still don’t know why you’re “prone to believe the majority of Suunto users want MiP,” but likely I missed something in your previous replies, and honestly, no longer care, as you seem more intent on having fights with me than reasonable conversation. I suppose others were right in other threads; most of humanity, including myself, needs simple words and dumbed down concepts, I suppose.
Honestly, you missed lots of things. Let’s start from here. I’ve never said Suunto should make more amoled or more MiP, I wrote I believe that that MiPs days are numbered due to the reasons that Pavel mentions in his post. Is it clearer now? Liesheng does have management and they decide what they’ll do, not some random users on the forum.
A few posts above someone posted a link with voting MiP vs. amoled. Check it out, please.

@wakarimasen sure, Race is actively developed and has the same firmware as Race 2 and Vertical 2. Less resources means that some features are missing, like only 2 S+ apps, but everything that can works and does not slow down the watch too much is there.

Thank you for the fast reply!

The Suunto Race 2 and the Vertical 2 measure heart rate continuously while at rest. This is not the case with the new Race 3S; the green LEDs are almost always off. It seems that this smaller model uses a 5-minute measurement interval instead of continuous monitoring—likely to make the battery life look better on paper. Any infos about this??? There is definitely No continous heart rate measurenent.

@GiPFELKiND yes that is the case (at least for the current firmware) in daily mode. And it still gives the same results as Race 2 or Vertical 2 during sleep

@isazi okay. Thanks for clairify. Will this be changed in the future?
-
@GiPFELKiND no idea
-
@MikeC30 I’d like to know this too given the same processor now powers the Race 2, Vertical 2 and Race 3S.
-
I’ve just received my watch. First impression: despite its larger size, it’s much more comfortable than my S9PP on my small wrist (just under 15 cm). That was one of my top criteria—and my main concern! So I can try it!

Any leaks about configuration backup or migration feature ?
Setting up again all switches, updating watchfaces and configuring sports again is not a fun
I was asked about it in new feature questionnaire so many times…
-
@Steven-Hambleton
Are we sure the processors are identical? Same amount of memory and running at the same clock frequency?I could see the logic in introducing a 3S. It would be a clear upgrade to my old Race S.
I have more difficulty in seeing the value in a new Race 3 with the same hardware as Race 2? Having recently bought a Race 2 when I tired off waiting for the Race 2S, I cannot see a compelling argument for upgrading again?

ye ok but why the R2 Sensor have always the Green Light on to the skin…
what ist difference to R3S ? reduce battery ?

hast du die neue R3 schon im test ?

@isazi do you know if the Race 3 and Vertical 3 are going to have the same limitation of heart rate readings every 5 minutes in daily mode? Im not sure how I feel about that.
-
@blur457 I cannot comment on watches I do not know.
-
@dani_degi die neue Race 3s und dort leuchten die LEDs alle 5 Minuten ungefähr. Vergleicht man das mit Vertical 1, Vertical 2 und Race 2 die Leuchten dauerhaft. Was will ich mit einer Uhr die alle 5 Minuten n Screenshot der Herzfrequenz macht
aber Hauptsache sie stecken damit künstlich die Akku Laufleistung -
@blur457 i think it is because of the little accu in the Race 3s… Its the only Option to safe Energy…
Who needs a 2000 nits Display when the heart rate measurenent is not continous…If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you. #lifewithasthma #runwithasthma #nevergiveup #pushinglimits #adventurestartshere Suunto Ambit 3 Peak , D9, Vertical Ti, Race 2, Vertical 2, Race 3s Ti, SA (Beta) Android Insta: @gipfelkind

@GiPFELKiND To be honest. Why would anybody care about their HR during the day? I was always missing an option to disable it or make less frequent. Of course it would be nice to have a choice to change it

@GiPFELKiND Is your statement a fact ? I Mean is it specified somewhere that HR is not measured continiously ?

Some people have medical conditions or other reasons they want to know, and some just like having “more data” when possible.
Having used Apple Watches that, until the latest models, worked on this model: in non-workout mode HR once every 5m more or less, when not in motion, HRV about once every two hours, I found it fine, and a necessary compromise to maintain battery life. With the new series 12 / Ultra 4 models they now do HR about every 5 sec and HRV every five minutes. So it’s a kind of quirky for Suunto to go in opposite direction.
As for the question of Race 3 / Vertical 3, I’d expect them to do the same as Race 3S assuming they are all on the same OS and same processors, etc.
