Suunto Race 3S General Discussion
-
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.
hast du die neue R3 schon im test ?
da sist ja komisch … .ja das Grüne Licht unten im Sensor ist dauerhaft an bei meiner R2 auch

@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.

Does anyone already have the Race3S and can say someting about the installed firmware version?

-
Curious which other watches will get this version
-
@VoiGAS none

@voigas when you got the Race 3s new the App installs the new Firmware. With the new Firmware the heart rate measurenent is only every 5 minutes. When i downgrade to previous original firmware the watch measurenent is continous

You could find first bug
Could You share Race 2 (or Vertical 2) and Race 3S picture of hand and also what Your wrist size please? I was looking for compare of both watches but there’s no photos so far made by one person. I have 175mm and Race 2 is just fine but sometimes I wish could be just a bit smaller and lighter.
-
I am really surprised and disappointed that the heart rate monitoring is not continuous and users cannot change this setting. I have a medical reason for continuous monitoring. I think I will have to return the watch and go back to the Race S.

@laismaniko fully agree
