      @SuuntoR said in Suunto Race S general discussion:

      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.

      in the one I have the crown can be rotate with one finger with ease, it’s just a bit more stiff than the crown of my Race

        Received the race s in pink and didn’t like the colour in reality so going to send it back. I now can’t decide whether to order it in black or get the normal race in purple.

        Are both watches completely the same except the size?

            @MeazzaS9 thanks. What about the software and everything they do? Any major differences there

                  And new altimeter in Race S (but is very good in the Race too). The only real difference that can be important is the tracking on openwater swimming. The Race has bad reports but the Race S has good ones. Don’t know after the latest update if that has been fixed for the Race.

                    @Bexs2247 What did you not like about the color? Thinking of buying it for the wife? What is the bezel color like? Does it have any golden tint to it?

                      Hello everyone.

                      I purchased a Suunto Race S last week.
                      And i am no lucky boy, sadly.
                      It’s the first time since more ten years of wearing Suunto watch with no issues.
                      But …
                      My Race S is entering in boot loop.
                      I tried to soft reboot with no chance. I tried to shut down the battery to 0% with no chance. I tried to downgrade the firmware with no chance.

                      If someone have a the solution to solve it, thank you !

                            @Ketoohs the pink strap was a bit of a wishy washy pink. The bezel was silver but kind of felt a bit cheap? I’m used to my Apple Watch I guess.

                            Why I’m thinking of either getting the black one or trying the race in the titanium version

                              The bezel is the same than the Powder Gray.
                              It’s gold

                                @SuuntoR I have the same problem. Very hard to rotate the crown with one finger, grinding sound, crown rubbing against the case.

                                  @wmichi I had this (grinding sound) after I changed the tires of my truck myself. Before the watch was flawless out of the box. Then some dust/debris must have gotten between wheel and case.
                                  I pressed and turned to no avail, and then splashed the watch with tap water. This washed out whatever was stuck there and the wheel is good as before. Not freewheeling but easily turnable with one finger

                                    @Egika Well, mine did this right out of the box. I am already in contact with support.

                                      Hi All,

                                      If I added manual activity (.fit file) into suunto app in example data from treadmill, will the activity data (i.e. step count, etc) become double since I’m wearing the Race S while treadmill but not record the activity.

                                      Anyway, it’s a shame that suunto doesn’t have a HR broadcast feature.

                                        I am using now S9P. Would like to go to S9PPro, but Pro has no dual band GPS. Is it way better for scrambling / climbing? Now I have something like this with old S9P. Would like more accuracy for navigation during scrambling. Therefore Race S will be better than S9PP because of dual band? And I should go with the Race S? Is Race / Vertical even more accurate than Race S?

                                          @suuntastic All of them (dual band) should be more accurate. What I’ve observed in the trails (under big and thick forest) the Vertical shines. It’s better (for me) than the Ocean and the Race, maybe due to the design of the antenna? Maybe Ti plays role? not sure but it is the most accurate. Keep in mind not some huge differences but a bit better. Of course all of them are much better than what you shared 🙂
