Suunto Race S general discussion
-
Orange race s in stock early this morning (yesterday I missed the launch…during the day somes models were in stock very few minutes again…but I missed).
Ordered this morning ! (yesterday I also succeeded to order the utmb strap)
It will be my spare watch/amoled test and will allow me to send my SV for repairing (solar charging out of service)….i just still don’t know if I take the chance to send it now or if I wait by the end of August after THE race of my year…afraid of delays of repair… -
@Mi_chael said in Suunto Race S general discussion:
Suunto Race S powder grey in my basket but sadly not an athletic strap 6 blue !
Perhaps lately in the week…
The watch will be delivered today.
-
@Mi_chael I’ll get mine on friday ! Finally glad that I was able to place the order. It also allows me to send my SV for repair sooner than expected (solar charging is not working anymore). This way I won’t have any other choice than fully using the SRs !
-
@Tieutieu I’ll be curious to read your thoughts on SRS after using it for some time
-
@Highlands I’ll let you know !
-
@Tieutieu I don’t have it but it seems to me that it’s one of the best watches at the moment. Very capable, at very good price.

@wmichi typo: it’s formatting code to make a non-breaking space character, ie regardless of line length, the browser won’t break the line between Race and S, so it’ll always appear as Race S. Not Race
S.

@Ze-Stuart I know what it is. I am not sure this works in a html title tag. Well, it doesn’t, at least in Safari.
-
@EzioAuditore afaik, only race s distributed in europe and america that designed and made in finland. race s distributed in asia still made in china, like mine.

I ordered the Race S on 9th July as soon as it was available. So far I haven’t received the mail with the tracking number, so I guess it’s not yet ready for delivery. How about others who have ordered on tuesday? Has your package already left Suunto? There seems to be a LOT of interest in this watch, great for Suunto!
-
@wmichi mine left it the 9th evening, supposed to be delivered yesterday, got stuck in brussels (thanks dhl) arrived at local agency today so I hope I will have it. I got 3 diffrerent mails

@Josaiplu Patience is a virtue.

I ordered one All Black for my wife on Amazon three days ago, which was actually sold and shipped by Sportler. I checked now, and there are three All Black models directly sold and shipped by Amazon, and delivered in 4/5 days.
-
@Stefano-M64 In shop where i bought All Black Race S there is still available lot of colors Race S. Strange.
This shop is www.aktywnynadgarstek.pl. Maybe u can order from there. -
@krzysMac I’ve already bought mine! thanks

@Stefano-M64
Welcome in the new order 🤪

Hello Suunto friends, I was able to order my race S yesterday on a French site. I received it today and put it on my wrist after loading the cartography and the map of my region.
The finish is superb, the heart sensor and the step counter have been greatly improved. It is for these reasons that I returned my vertical. I discovered the update with enthusiasm!

At my wake up, today, my new Race S is entering in the boot loop.
I can’t restart with older upper button. Just accces to service mode with long press the upper and the crown button.
It’s my first bug since 10 years of wearing Suunto watches
-
I also watched some of the review videos of Suunto Race S, and it seems on those they also scroll the wheel with ease and with one finger.
strange. On my watch only possible with two fingers on the crown and that way the “upper finger” nail hits a bit on the wrist. Because for a good grip on the crown, other finger must go a bit under the button…How about e.g. @Brad_Olwin or @Egika should it be extra stiff or same kind of experience that Suunto Race has?
Edit: …and also if watch turned off and wheel scrolled: I can hear a little rustle sound there. Other way a little smoother, and other way a more screech sound there. Not bad but anyway…"
Update on this: got money back from the original purchase and ordered a new one. The new watch works as it should, crown very smooth. So this issue was a failure on the button, not a feature.
