2024: Race S
On July 3, 2024, Suunto announced the Suunto Race S compact watch with an AMOLED display and full sports functionality - a smaller version of the Suunto Race model.
According to the company, the compact model is suitable for users with a small wrist circle, a female audience and everyone who cares about the weight and size of sports watches. The smartwatch has an AMOLED display with a diameter of and a 1.32 "Suunto Race S. The Suunto Race S model includes the same features as the Suunto Race, but is offered in a smaller case.
Race S offers more than 95 sports modes, from cross-country running and cycling to swimming and yoga. The default data fields are carefully selected for each mode. Suunto Race S also offers an advanced analysis of training performance, including personalized information on training load, progress and recovery, calculated based on heart rate variability (HRV). The potential of the HRV score is that it serves as an indicator of balance in the autonomic nervous system and provides valuable information about a person's overall health and stress levels.
A useful function for a female audience will be the observation of the menstrual cycle implemented in the Race S watch, taking into account which training data will be analyzed. During long runs or in travel, the clock battery can operate for up to 30 hours with optimal GPS receiver accuracy. When using the "Tour" mode, the battery lasts up to 5 days.
In nature, you can use smartwatch features such as detailed autonomous maps available for free around the world, a GNSS system for accurate location tracking even in highlands, and a barometer for determining altitude and receiving storm warnings.
In addition to tracking workout statistics and providing user fitness data, the Suunto Race S watches measure the number of steps, calories consumed, heart rate and sleep parameters (including sleep phases), providing maximum support for wellness control.
Also, the watch is equipped with useful functions for everyday life: it has an alarm clock, the ability to control listening to music from a combined smartphone, a weather forecast, etc.
Race S watches help with sports, and at the same time, thanks to their compactness and light weight, make the everyday wearing of smart watches more comfortable. The original design of the Suunto Race S watch is designed in Finland; the design uses gorilla glass and stainless steel.
The design of the compact sports watch with an AMOLED display with a diameter of 1.32 "resembles the original Suunto Race model with its design and display technology. The watch is controlled using buttons and a digital crown, which provides quick search for functions and navigation on maps.
