Race: GPS Sports Watch, Large & Bright AMOLED Color Screen, Long Battery Life

I’ve owned this watch for 11 months and have ran over 500 miles wearing this watch. I’ve owned 5 digital Suunto watches since 2006. The watch works great tracking my runs without my phone. The battery last prolly a good two weeks and only gets down to about 30% and that’s a daily use with prolly 5-8 runs. I have set to find someone else with this watch but I can’t complain. It’s a great watch and best part it kit what everyone else has but does the same if not more than your typical smart watch. Messages portion is very basic. They are all (text, email, door bell alerts) on the same icon. I don’t get the alerts in my watch but that a personal choice. Great watch. I would buy again.

I love this watch! Impressed that Suunto is just as good as Garmin with a much lower price I still get all the training and fitness data plus great battery life that Garmin offers in its higher priced watches. Very easy to set up and use. I definitely recommend it

I really liked the functionality of my previous watch, and it pretty much taught me what I wanted in a watch. Yep, I want to keep up with my training as I’m getting back into it, I want to keep up with sleep, I want comfort from day one as I wear it 24/7, it needs to be accurate, I’m a tech guy so lots of features and I want it to look awesome and make a statement. This watch is it 110%. I cancelled the phone number attached to my previous watch, and don’t have to make sure it is on the charger everyday because that is as long as the charge last. I took this watch off to charge it after a week and a half and it still had 50% battery and that seemed like a miracle, and no longer having a phone line means this watch self funded itself and is well worth the money! 5 Stars, very happy. It is a good looking statement on your wrist.

I've had this watch about 5 weeks. It's my first smartwatch. I didn't get it for the bells and whistles. I've turned all of those off since they just eat battery. Without all the whizbang the battery lasts just short of two weeks with a very simple, always on watch face. It's actual called the Simplicity. It charges in an hour. I'e worn it in the shower several times with no issues. I managed to put a tiny ding in the bezel. Very hard to notice. The original band was too small for my wrist. I'm no gaint but I do have big wrists. I ended up cutting it off and just running an old "The Band" velcro one piece band through the pins. Feels better than the plastic and buckle anyway and much better if a pin fails. You still keep the watch though you'll need a new pin. The pin is a buck. The watch is four hundred. Learned that the hard way when a pin came off while I was paddling many years ago. Never really noticed at first and then, bingo, the watch was somewhere on the river bottom. I may turn some of the stuff back on at some point, but I'm in no hurry. It does what I bought for. It tells time. Very accurately, like any smartwatch.

I like it big. I can see the numbers while running. But the HR doesn’t work precisely at all.

The Good: Clear display and good battery life The Bad: The heart rate accuracy is awful. I see it skip around 70-90 bpm for an entire run, then yesterday I did a 9 miler, and this watch said I averaged 172bpm! I compared this to my Coros watch, which put me accurately right around 145bpm. My Garmin had similar accuracy to Coros. The running cadence is measured in rpm and not steps. e.g. The watch cadence shows 85-90, so you have to double that number to get an accurate running cadence. Maths while running is hard. I reached out to customer service who said there was a setting for it, but they didn't know where it was located, and we were unable to find it. The 5 or 6 times I have tried to use the "find my phone" function, it can never connect to it. I just tried it again with no luck, and the phone is on my desk next to me. However, if I go to the app on my phone, connect to the phone, sync activities, then try the "find my phone" function, it will work. The problem here is, if I don't know where my phone is, how can I sync it to the watch with the app? I'm getting awful rashes and burn marks from the band. I take it off to shower, and make sure it's dry when I put it on, but they won't go away. The rashes cut open and bleed sometimes during longer efforts, even if I don't have the band that tight. When I go for a bike ride, the watch won't stay high enough on the wrist to prevent from the dial digging into the back of my hand. To the point where it cut open my skin in the last race and I was bleeding from it. I try to pull it up on my wrist and tighten the band, but it still slides down as I ride. The magnet on the charger is weak. It's easy to bump it off and not realize it's no longer charging. Why not just make a clip one, or one that locks into place? This would help for longer events when you need to charge it in your pack. The app takes forever to load activities. I also cannot edit the display of an activity while I'm doing it. e.g. If I'm out for a run, and I decide I want to see my average pace, I cannot go into the phone app and add avg pace to the watch screen without stopping the current activity first. The menus for controls and activities seem haphazard and disorganized. I've slowly gotten used to them, but there are other watches with menus that seem to flow better. I reached out to customer service on these issues, and it looked like they just copied and pasted responses back, and said have nice day. Pretty disappointing experience. At this point, I'm just wearing it because I spent money on it, but I can't say I'm enjoying it. It will probably end up on eBay or at Goodwill.

Bought this for battery life in GPS mode, which it does have, so 2 stars for that. Unfortunately the map animates poorly (ratchets), HR does not work, Pulse Ox does not work. I even bought a third party chest band for HR, which synced ok but the watch gives you no way of telling which device is dominant. You can't modify the clutter on the navigation screens or remove useless pages you h ave to parse through to get the info you need while on the run. Inconvenient charge pad. Really more of a hassle to wear than it's worth, and I'll probably sell it and go back to using my phone for trail maps.

Excelente

Muy buenos mapas, precisión, durabilidad de bateria. Bajo el agua su lectura es muy clara, se puede configurar a voluntad lo que lo hace exelente para mediciones de muchos deportes. Yoga, carrera urbana y de sendero, ciclismo, natación, pesas. Por su relación entre costo beneficio un muy buen producto

Watch is amazing in all aspects except for Heart Rate accuracy while doing a gym workout. Battery life is impressive if you compare it to an apple watch, at full price this watch is a bit expensive, but with a discount I would say it is a great deal. I would buy it again.

Bonne qualité facile à utiliser

I've owned this watch for more than 6 months and I really like the quality, the functions, the tracking it offers. When it comes to sports the GPS is amazing, I used it for bicycle rides. Pairs well with strava or any sports app.

This is my third Suunto. While there are competitors with some great options, I've always loved the style and build quality of the Suunto brand. Battery life is truly insane. I've had the watch for over six weeks training with GPS and heartrate a minimum of 4 times a week and I've only had to change it twice so far. GPS is spot on accurate, and always has been. The over the air updates are a nice edition, and the new OLED screen is bright and beautiful. There are more options than most casual to very serious athletes will ever need to train or compete with. Minor gripes are easy to live with - the training terminology used on the app is hard to follow if you're not used to the Training Peaks app but Suunto seems to be adding new documentation on their YouTube channel to help learn how to use those parts of the watch to train and compete at the top level. Also, I've read that the heartrate monitor isn't great. It's much better and more consistent than the Suunto 9 I upgraded from, and if I was really concerned with the 2 or 3 % difference I've seen complained about, a Bluetooth chest monitor is a very accurate and reasonably priced add-on. This is easily the best Suunto I've ever had. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone not already in love with another brand of sports watch or that wants a rugged watch with a ton of sports options and killer battery life.
