Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
Sadly, those do not only fix bugs but introduce new ones. And the last one has been 4 months ago with no new beta in sight, yet…
Btw, It seems I can count 3 mayor betas in 2026 (splitted in 15 minor announced versions only this year). It is not the same release calendar/features as for the supported watches, but the bug fixes are there (even for Garmin). It is also more than nothing.
I understand Suunto is focused in the new watches but it’s also a lot of time a watch like the Vertical is forgotten with the remaining bugs. And, when bugs, this can be a very bad image of the brand for the users that have the watch.

Always the question of “Should I really upgrade beyond version …?” in the forums.

Reminds me on Nokia and its N9, where they pushed a final update eliminating most of the bugs (over 1000 IIRC) before pulling the (support) plug. I also feel that is the right thing to do.

There’s a thread on reddit. It seems something was going to be announced today but it also happened the Fenix 9/Pro presentation.
-
@André-Faria nice! Love to see they continuing Run series. Wonder if it will have same OS as run.
-
@André-Faria 76g weight can’t be true - thats too heavy
-
I wonder which software the R3/R3S will run - 2.x.x or 3.x.x
-
@Highlands most likely 2.x
-

Yeah there is no way they tack on an extra 40g from the Run 1. Misprint or different watch.
-
Do we have any idea when they are going to be announced officially? Looking for a replacement of my wife’s Race S.
-
@OutdoorMan It would make sense if something is announced this week at UTMB, but I don’t know…
-
@OutdoorMan have been a few posts on Reddit that there would be some kind of announcement this week or next according to retailers that had seen the watches.
-
@GratefulDeadpan I hope the changes to the Race 2/2S are more substantial then the ones Garmin did on their Fenix 8/9 models
-
I would not wait for an announcement during the UTMB.
I don’t see the point of having a stand with the entire current range exposed to the public and making an announcement the next day.For me the Run 2 will be available in September and Race (s) 3 on October.

@OutdoorMan this is what Suunto said in their Instagram post today. Talking about “new products”

@Tami999 No MIPS again… Garmin releases with the new Fenix 9 Pro again 2 models with MIPS. hoped for this step too with the release from the new Suunto models. Why didnt suunto do this step, too!? I think many Outdoor enthusiasts would choose a new MIPS watch from suunto.

@GiPFELKiND SR and SRs series have never had mips options, and SV1 is still on the market so far

Most likely: because many on internet are very few on sales to pay off development, certification, support etc etc etc
Garmin has other size for sure .
