sports watch gods, is that you?

I tested the Race appropriately at a 100 mile race two weeks ago, Bear 100. It was stellar and matched nearly perfectly the Vertical, which I was also wearing. Battery life claims are real. Feel free to ask me questions.

and finally from DCR reviews I get to know that Race has

Find MY Phone
Multiple Alarms

both rolling back to Vertical that I have.
Whit this I do not thinks I will never again think about moving to another brand.

All the rest is minor to me as I have learned to train by heart and listen to my body and want to keep doing so.

Well done Suunto!!! I am gonna order a ridicously expensive silicon strap just to support !

@dulko79 Is progress coming to the SV titanium ?

dulko79

Can someone involved in testing of Race please explain how threshold calculation works? Is it another test for threshold detection? Or is it done automatically during high intensity runs? Is the use of chest strap required for detection? Thank you.

@Brad_Olwin I’m not gonna change my SV, but still I’m curious about the midlle “rolling” button (that we could probably see on future watches).
One issue I had with my S9B ambassador edition was the size of the buttons that had several times leaded to unwanted pauses, laps…The vertical perfectly works on that point : I don’t need to lock buttons anymore.

What about this rolling button behaviour on the Race ?

isazi

@Tieutieu I also don’t need to lock the Race (because the crown does not do anything else than scrolling during activity). In general I don’t love the crown that much, prefer touchscreen in daily mode and buttons during activity, but this is just personal preference.

isazi

@dulko79 it is automatic, based on your activities. So, no need to do anything except recording.

dulko79

@isazi Great. Chest strap is required?

isazi

@dulko79 not needed. Unfortunately I have not been able to do a fitness test since this feature was added to the Race, so the detected threshold for me is lower than what I would expect as I’ve been training (before the injury) for longer and slower efforts.

stromdiddily

@Brad_Olwin phenomenal effort on your race Brad! Eyeballing Run Rabbit Run next year so may be up your way-ish

dulko79

@isazi thanx for feedback and good luck with recovery.

With NFC, but without contactless payments?
And no recovery time?

@dulko79 said in New Suunto watch coming:

@Egika display looks nice. Can you show screen with new sleeping tracking?

It includes sleep stages plus a percentage of those.

Correct. The NFC is built in, but correctly not used for any function. Maybe there to be able to develop some feature later.

macdav

@Egika and is it feasible to develop in future sw update? Just asking

Umer Javed

@Egika curious if you’re able to show size difference between the 9PP

Thanks!

DMytro

@Egika except if people would be honest:
“We love making watches, here’s our latest one - specks and price are compatitive, so please consider buying one, so we can keep making more and don’t have to look for a new job”

I would honestly appreciate such ads much more than ‘some people’ or ‘i always stop for the horses’.
