It seems now pretty sure that there is no Race 3 on the way.
Run 2 confirmed. But still no leaks about SRs3 ?

Seeing the Run2, makes me think and kinda whish that Race 3S will be similar sized, similar design, with barometer and gorilla glass. And possibly Ti version.

You are totally right. Can we get a mod to rename this to… Idk, maybe “Suunto 2026 rumors”?

No need for that, this is just a “rumors” topic

As we have seen early rumours about three new devices, I think it will be the following:

Suunto Run 2
Suunto HRM 2
Suunto Race S 3 (2?)

Not sure that Suunto will really already replace the Race 2, which is only a good year old now.

believe or not, Suunto Run2 is not coming to replace the Run will leavet it at that

@Wilson75 The watch looks really nice, but to be honest, I’m not sure what to think about that “EnergySense” screen. If they’re copying Garmin, at least they should copy the actually useful features.

4gb is plenty for maps @wilson75

Chase the Summit: Pace 4 maps

DC Rainmaker: Pace 4 maps

But also seeing how Coros are pushing maps to Pace 4 which also only got 4gb of storage, which when released didn’t support it, makes me wonder if Suunto will do the same with maps for Run 1. Because I have always seen the Run as the better b4b over the Pace line but now I’m not so sure. The price-hike from Suunto does not feel that justified any longer.

Tieutieu

With maps that seems to arrive, I wonder if run 2 is still build on the run 1 firmware version (I mean different fw linup from SR, SV…)

GratefulDeadpan

@Tieutieu my guess is same as Run1 to not “allow” it SuuntoPlus comparability because then the Run2 would potentially eat quite a few Race 3S sales?

Wilson75

No longer plausible. Coros just shows that it’s possible to have maps with 4gb storage

Wilson75 said:

4gb is enough for map storage?
there is maybe a version without map. 4gb is quite enough for music storage.

and 64gb with map storage.

@Wilson75 Coros maps are really small bite-sized downloads. 4GB should be plenty for in Coros map land. Many areas are 50mb or less.

Man, I am really glad I waited with the purchase of a Race 2, with those new models coming up soon!

@jthomi I don’t see any huge change coming from the Race 2 to Race 3… maybe some in-watch AI related thing (specific co-processor required), but I don’t think that Race 3 will come with major GPS + battery + screen upgrade, mainly because Race 2 is one year old tech. But we’ll see

PD: I’ve recently change my Coros Apex 4 to a Suunto Race 2, so maybe I’ll regret not waiting a little longer…

jthomi

@usainzg Same here, but having an older model, there seems to be quite some options now for a never model. Also find it a little odd that there is maybe a Race 3 coming while the one still is new.

Tieutieu

There is no rumors pointing towards a RACE 3.
Run 2 => tomorrow
SRs3 ?

That’s not entirely true… https://forum.suunto.com/post/196330

Tieutieu

@2b2bff Let’s see what comes then !
I’m waiting for SRS3 specs to see if I upgrade my SRs

2b2bff

@Tieutieu same for me…

Tieutieu

@2b2bff But we shall not expect something for tomorrow except run 2. SRs 3 (and SR 3?) will more likely be announced later.

2b2bff

@Tieutieu I heard a while ago that Suunto aimed at September with the Race 3S. But who knows. Delays are always possible.
If the announce it together with the Run 2, there should be a strong differentiator, as the Run 2 seems to be very capable…
