Hey Gary years ago when I was young I bought a Suunto t3 and I was impressed, after 16 years now I bought a Suunto Race titanium and I am impressed again I really like the Suunto brand and the look of the watch. After two updates it works much more smoothly. Top watch I recommend .Great presentation Gary👍👌
Thanks! Wow! 16 years. Can’t argue with that 👌🏻
Thank you for the review, bought this for the spine south challenger after seeing your review, worked fantastic. Popped it on endurance battery life, didn’t have maps on just the route on. Used for 47 hrs & still had 19% battery life. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Great to hear! Kudos for completing the challenger 💪🏻
Great review Gary. Like you, Ive been Garmin all the time (pun intended) but just got a Coros for the longer battery life. It is always a learning curve for me with any new gadget but I see a lot of cool similarities with the Suunto. Amazing how great these watches are compared to the old days!
Thanks Steve! Yeah, amazing pieces of technology 👍🏻 I don’t want to send it back 😅
I absolutely love the race. I had one for about 3 months to test. It was painful having to give it back. I think I would prefer the Vertical for my use cases but the race is a solid watch and it is really great value for money. Would be interested to see what you think about the vertical if you can get one to test out Gary. Great review bud! 😎🤘
Thanks Ben, yeah, not looking forward to sending it back! I might see if they have any review models left. It would be cool to give the vertical a test.
Hey Gary "the lover" Thwaites....... Been with Garmin for 6 years and would be lost without them - if only I could justify the price to upgrade to the fenix 7 😕
Great content. Keep them coming 👊🏻
Thanks buddy 🙏🏻 Yeah, it’s a lot of money. Interested to see when they launch the Fenix 8!
Great review. I have the sibling Suunto Vertical (basically exactly the same device but with a MIP display) and both are great devices. There are some areas for improvement, probably the same for all the competitors. Nevertheless, the Suunto App is great, and both watches are getting updates addressing some of the issues and also getting new features. The design of the watches and build quality are top. Battery life is fantastic. Can't see anything better for an Ultra than these 2 Suunto devices. Cheers
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I hope they improve the nutrition alert setting. Apart for that I think it's amazing for the price!
Are you jumping ship too Gary? ;) Awesome video mate, smashed it with the editing 🔥👊🏽 #SilkySmooth
Thanks Kingsley! It’s very tempting. My Garmin is still hanging on so not jut yet, but yeah, if I needed a new watch then for the price it takes some beating 💪🏻
@@teaandtrails the 6X is a beast tbf, still has a special place in my heart! Look forward to the next review mate 👊🏽
As you mentioned, you need to be off track for a while before it lets you know.
There's also a similar gap when it tells you that you have rejoined the track BUT very oddly that gap is *before* you have actually rejoined the track not after.
It’s not great, I think they need to improve their tolerance.
Hi Gary, how is the sleep tracking of Suunto Apps, is it showing the sleep state like deep sleep details? Thanks!
Yeah, you can see awake, REM, light and deep 👍🏻
@@teaandtrails Thanks!
thanks for the review. i got the Race and i am also missing the web/browser interaction. App is OK, but i would prefer to create maps on my 27in monitor vs a 6in phone screen. that said, maps and (turn-by-turn)navigation is good.
i wish there would be a rent for a day/s for these more pricey watches, so i could have a hands on decision Race or Garmin FR965, both priced similarly ( if pick Race titanium).
Suunto for me in the end, but i feel some things from Garmin would be useful for me. PS. not sure why ppl still keep talking about Finland, if really the Chinese owning this brand for years.
Thanks for the comment! I thought they still developed and made them in Finland 🇫🇮
@@teaandtrails not anymore. Btw, I don't have a problem with the Chinese, carbon neutral not my choosing point for a sport watch.
Chinese do own the bran, but the top of the line suunto vertical is still made in finland
@@killac45 Suunto Race review....but whatever
@zoltanl8056 you’re poor and can only afford the race, I have the vertical and states “made in Finland” on the back 😉
If anyone knows the answer to these questions connected with the off-line maps please reply.
1. Is there any way to discover which maps you have already stored on the watch?
2. Is there any way to find out how much storage is still available (from the 16GB/8GB)?
Not sure about question 2, but you can see what maps you have on your watch via the app.
@teaandtrails Been there; done that; couldn't find it ... But I have now (knowing that it's there somewhere - thanks).
The solution is the bottom right-hand-side of the app (a wavy image). Then if it shows a map, click on the odd shape under + which is in the lower right-hand corner of the map.
That now gives you a menu row of Offline maps; routes and pois. Choosing Offline maps gives you the maps and their sizes.
Note that above the first map there is a row showing Watch memory (a line) which in my case (titanium) shows Free 26GB.
At the top of the map section just before the first map there is a downloaded total [for only maps?] (in my case 2.0GB).
So that covers both questions but I have a feeling the first time I clicked that wavy icon it didn't go directly to showing a map so there might have been an additional step. (Now I can't recreate that).
Finally. In order to get a map of Madeira the only option is All Portugal (0.9 GB). Annoying because the Canary Islands have their own map. I will have to go to Madeira to see if the map is of any use there - something I miss is the ability to add routes to a map when you are not physically there. But then maybe I missed that too!
Again thanks ....
Correction. You can see the detailed contents of an offline map in the app.
Just as with a Google/Apple Map you just select the map and then go into more and more detail through opening the gap between thumb and forefinger.
So even though the Portugal map looked impossible as far as Madeira was concerned, it just took longer (more going into detail) to get a street plan of the capital Funchal.
Great!
How can those health metrics be valuable if the owhr isn't good
Yeah, you could use a chest strap for all your runs I suppose.
Are you still using a Suunto Gary?
Yeah 👍🏻
@@teaandtrails just debating whether to get the race or the Vertical 🤔
This watch is crap.Very laggy and the menu is disaster 😢Waste of money
Wow! Say what you feel 😂
@@teaandtrails i have it and I return it back.This lagging is unbelievable 😵💫
