Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
Previous Amazon link does not work for me, but this one does: https://amzn.eu/d/02nLG6C1
Too bad the display stays at 1.32, I was hoping they would bump it closer to 1.4
-
@aiv4r The same Amazon listing shows a photo of a runner wearing the watch with the map screen, and the map rendering looks quite different vs. the current version - with more high contrast colors. Let’s hope that Suunto has listened and optimized map contrast.
With regards to music storage - I couldn’t care less.

From the video, to me it looks pretty much the same
Race S

@sky-runner interesting about the maps there is also a frame in video where some kind of AI assistant is used, looks horrible. Could not care less about music, but interesting how race planner will be implemented, but also not on top of my wishlist.
-
Offline music would be great, it would mean I can leave my phone at home for shorter runs - I’d still take it with me for longer runs like trail etc.

@Squirrel here is what I saw:
Note the white background and the black trails.Also the current position arrow looks different - more like in Run 2 software.

The Race 3S is probably coming soon—there’s a manual for it, at least.

This is the Winter map style. Available in your watch too

I don’t think so. In the winter map style the background is grey rather rather than while, bodies of water are light blue and almost invisible against the background, trails are nearly invisible against the background too because their color is just a shade different from the the background. If trails were visible on winter map, it would be my favorite map theme, but I think it is intended for winter sports rather than trail running.
-
@sky-runner I think this is just because of photo editing. I think the t-shirt is also white, but looks yellow-ish due to that.
-
My winter background in places is white, not grey.
Release FW of R3s has no extra map style.
The black structure at the bottom or the Pic is how cliffs are rendered. -
@Egika Ok, in that case it was disingenuous to show the map in winter mode in that advertisement that shows a trail runner. Trails are nearly invisible on a winter map. The choice of colors is such that for a long time I thought that trails are not rendered at all.

Probably the same they used to sell for Race S (same size?). But anyway nice pre-order for screen protector
-
I guess it is officially out!
https://apac.suunto.com/products/suunto-race-3s-titanium-orchidNothing really what we already did not know. Can see Race Planner screen. Wonder when we will get that update.
Another a bit scary thing, seems that AI coach will get a bigger role and can be used as an assistant, we will see how it is implementet. -
@aiv4r Some questions remain -
Will there be a non-titanium version?
How much will the Race 3 be?
Will the Race 2 and Vertical get the same updates given they run on the same chip (Apollo 510) albeit with less storage
Will they reduce the Race 2 further?Watch: Suunto Race S
-
Nice Evolution, the Display brightness is the only thing I don’t like on the RaceS. Sounds like this is covered. But if Race3S is really double the price I will keep the “old” one
The name should be Race2S given the amount of news -
Is the route planer something new or enhanced ?
-
@Steven-Hambleton i really hope we will not see Race 3 until next year at least.
My assumption is that updates for Vertical 2 and Race 2 will be the same as for Race 3S anything else would not make sense. (But it is the new Suunto, so you never know for sure) -
But no silicone-carbon battery as it seems.
