Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
Photos of the Race 3S model can now be found on a Japanese site. I think direct links aren’t allowed, but google “Tele soumu” and you should be able to find the photos.
The design has a lot in common with the Race S model.
Google photos with this tele soumu dont show anyting, even if i set last 24h or week. I tried to find on this japanese site but with no success :D. If You can share photo on private, i would appreciate if you could.

On reddit someone posted all three versions of Race 3S photos.
600 vs 2000 nit, 30 vs 45h dualband GPS, 32 vs 64gb storage and sapphire crystal in Race 3 S
Still not official so no photo here.

@Tami999 That could have been AI generated - I don’t believe them.
-
@Tami999 I don’t think this graphic is true. It claims to be an identical display size, what I cannot believe…
-
We will see. Iam almost sure I saw somewhere on instagram someone with exactly same watch strap like this white/orchid.
-
At ,El Corte Ingles" spain electronic site there’s Race 3S pre order for 499 euro. Launch 15 october. Same photos as leaked on reddit few days ago.
-
@Tami999 in term of design, compared to original SRs the bezel side angle seems a bit more pronounced.
Can’t wait to see precise features/caracteristics -
@Tami999 also you now find a FCC filing for the watch model number OW265.
NFC and 5GHz WiFi are the points that I’ve seen in them at a first glance…
But 499€ is quite an increase over the 349€ for the Race S…
-
-
@SergioB ah, in that case, 50€ increase is ok, I guess…

I’m curious to see what Race 3S will bring on the software side… If we consider that we currently have Race S at around 300€ that runs almost same software of most recent watches (R2 and V2) and has similar battery life or R3S, the 200€ difference “just” for materials are a bit much IMO.
Yes, RS does not have the latest OHR (but if we want e.g. Zonesense, we still need to use a chest strap) or the latest GNSS chipset (but I don’t recall RS being not accurate).
So, nothing, I’m just really curious:) Maybe with some more new software features (that will not be included in future RS updates) maybe R3S will become more appealing to me also
Suunto Race 1 and SuuntoApp on Android 13.

Im interested in seeing what the new Race 3s will bring as well. Ive seen some of the leaks and it looks quite sleek. Apparently the weight is 53grams which would align with the Run 2 (with silicone strap) weight.
If this is the case, then I guess the differentiator would be potentially materials between the two and added price.

@SergioB
I think and hope that Race 3(s) will have the new v3 OS from the Run which Suunto then will have to extend to handle structured runs with configurable data screens.So less use of Apps and Guides and more functionality built in. Allowing direct upload of a workout from any source like intervals.icu without having to go through a Guide that cannot be configured.
That plus AI functionality has probably been a huge effort for Suunto. What typically happens when you do a completely new generation of SW is that the user becomes disappointed because there is not so many new features. But as they tend to say the new architecture enables more advanced features in the future.
Note this is purely my speculation, I have no insight into what Suunto is doing!

@matram I hope the Race 3s will also get the Run software but hopefully with added external training plan syncing functionality…
Honestly the Run OS is great and has a lot of upsides compared to the Race/Vertical OS but for me not having external workout sync is quite disappointing

Honestly the Run OS is great and has a lot of upsides compared to the Race/Vertical
What are these upsides? I would be interested to know from someone who used Run or Run 2.
Suunto: Ambit, Ambit 3 Peak, 9 Baro, Race S, Race Ti, Vertical 2 Ti
Garmin: Forerunner 210, Forerunner 610, Fenix 6X, Fenix 7X Ti -
I use a lot of Suunto watch…
And honestly, for me, there is no better OS. It will be good that Suunto take the best of the two OS.
Just for example. The clic to switch the page is better than the scroll.
And the down button to skip the phase in training intervals …. -
And PLEASE Suunto keep the original sound of the start up activity !!
