Race S vs Vertical
-
-
I just received my vertical from support (repair was very fast - send Monday, repaired Thursday, send back Friday ! ). Now I’ll have to deal between SRs and my vertical. I’ll probably use the race S most of the time for sleep tracking (I love the sleep phases tracking and its small size), and for small races or training when I don’t want to use hr belt…but the Vertical remains my dream watch. It’s just awesomely good looking and with so huge battery life ! But SRs really rocks ! If next top of the line gen of watch brings amoled screen with vertical battery life, it will be mine for sure !

Some feedback regarding the SRs that my wife is testing since one week ago to check if it would be a good replacement for her Fenix 6s pro:
-
AOD: Off
-
Sleep track: Off (she does not care about that metric)
-
24/7 HR: Off (she does not care about that metric)
-
Mobile notifications: Off (she does not care about that info)
-
Average battery consumption per hour of GPS: 3%-4% (The Fenix 6s pro consumes 10% per hour)
-
Battery consumption in 7 days (4h running with GPS + 1h strength workout no GPS) : 50%
Obviously she decided to sell the Fenix 6s Pro and keep the Suunto.
I quote myself to mention that my wife charged the Race S yesterday with 23% (today she had to do her long run of the week) after 10 days… very very good.

By the way : is there a chance that sleep phases and nap finally arrive on SV ?

Hi, I’ve read this post and it seems that everyone is talking mostly about hardware. I’m trying to decide between the 2 watches but have a few software-ish wondering-ments, perhaps someone would know? The most important one is:
Does the Race S have light/dark maps like the Race some time ago, or outdoor/high contrast/dark like the Vertical? I really like the outdoor and high contrast ones on vertical and would be disappointed if they aren’t available on the Race S.
Are the any other important software differences between the two? I only know for a fact that Race S does not have an option to set a custom battery mode, like the Vertical, but maybe there are more?
Btw, based on your, Race S users, experience, do you think the Race S’s battery would last enough for 15h training with best accuracy with navigation the whole time, notifications (and connection to the phone, if possible) turned off, AOD on, heart rate on?

Race S: light - dark - high contrast
Light is basically outdoor, but looks better on AMOLED, and dark is more battery friendly.
