Suunto Race review: Near the finish line

The Suunto Race arguably beats other $450 running watches in key areas. It just needs a few fixes to challenge its running watch rivals for supremacy. The Suunto Race just needs a few key software add-ons and HR/ GPS accuracy tweaks to nail the formula...

Suunto Race review: Purpose-built to perfection

Suunto's new Race smartwatch is the ultimate fitness tracker, but it does little else

Sophisticated design with 10ATM water resistance ; Polished UI on a bright AMOLED screen ; Plenty of activity-tracking modes ; Strong battery life

Poor haptics feel jarring ; No cellular version or calling support via Bluetooth ; Complicated and slow offline map sync ; No passive smartphone sync

Suunto isn't sugarcoating when advertising the Race as a fitness-focused watch, and I found it counts out important features typically found in other smartwatches at around half the price. However, between Suunto’s rep for reliable dive computers and...

Suunto Race Review

The Suunto Race is a great multisports watch with a colour screen that comes in cheaper than the competition.

Welcome AMOLED screen ; Solid sports tracking performance ; Battery life in always-on mode

Watch software is laggy ; Not a great sleep tracker ; Recovery insights not massively engaging

The Suunto Race is a great multisports watch with a colour screen that comes in cheaper than the competition and shows Suunto is back on track.

Suunto Race review: An affordable fitness watch with some compromises

Suunto's best watch in a long time is still a little flawed

Cheaper than rivals ; Large, crisp display ; Premium feel

Heart rate tracking not the best ; Fitness insights not as detailed as Garmin’s ; Clunky UX

Suunto upped its smartwatch game with the release of the Suunto Vertical and has followed on with this more sports-and-fitness oriented Race model. The screen is sharp, the build quality suitably solid, and the price very tempting. That said, the...

Suunto Race review: small price, big battery, but not without compromise

A solid offering from Suunto, but the Race lacks the technical chops of rivals

Amazing value-for-money performance wearable ; Bright AMOLED touchscreen ; Long battery life

Build quality isn't amazing ; More support in the Suunto app would be brill ; Heart rate sensing accuracy isn't great ; Dull watch UI

The Suunto Race is an excellent effort from the Finnish brand, offering a genuine rival to select models from Garmin, Polar, Fitbit and Apple, but it is far from perfect. It performs well if you want a large, bright display and an awesome battery life....
