Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
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
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.
-
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…)
-
@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?
-
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…
-
@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.
-
There is no rumors pointing towards a RACE 3.
Run 2 => tomorrow
SRs3 ? -

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

@2b2bff Let’s see what comes then !
I’m waiting for SRS3 specs to see if I upgrade my SRs -
@Tieutieu same for me…
-
@2b2bff But we shall not expect something for tomorrow except run 2. SRs 3 (and SR 3?) will more likely be announced later.
-
@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… -
@2b2bff why is not true? Where is the confirmation in that link?
-
@jjorgemoura I cannot follow everything he posted because of missing clickable links. But he searched in a couple of databases that are similar to the FCC in the US. There he found the listing of OW261, OW265 and OW266. The first is the Run 2, the latter are labeled as Race 3 and Race 3S.

OW261 can already be found at FCC, but not the other two. So, my guess is that they will launch later.
