The Suunto Race S targets demanding trail runners and runners.
Strong points:
Weak points:
Breed S: yes. Run: no.
That's the major difference. If you need detailed maps, it's Race S. If you run on known routes, it's Run.
Race S: 30 hours. Run: 20 hours.
10 hours difference. For a marathon, it's overkill. For an ultra-trail, it's useful.
Run: 35g. Breed S: 42g.
7 grams. You will feel the difference if you have a small wrist. Otherwise, it is negligible.
Race S: titanium case, sapphire crystal, repairable. Run: plastic, Gorilla Glass, not repairable.
If you break your Run, you must replace it. If you break your Race S, you can have it repaired.
Run: 4 GB of MP3. Race S: nothing.
If you like running with music, this is Run. If you don't need it, it's Race S.
Run: €249. Race S: €349.
100€ difference. It's budget. For some, it is decisive.
Suunto Run. You don't need mapping. Music will be more useful to you. 100€ saved.
Suunto Run. The Race S does not have an MP3 player. It's a deal-breaker.
Suunto Race S. You need mapping. The 30 hour battery life is useful too.
Suunto Race S. The 30 hour autonomy is important. Cartography too.
Suunto Race S. Titanium case, sapphire crystal, repairable. The Run is not repairable.
Suunto Run. €249 vs €349. That's a big difference.
Suunto Run. 35g vs 42g. 7 grams less.
Impossible. Suunto doesn't have a watch that combines everything. You must choose your priorities.
It depends on your needs.
If you run on known routes and like music, no. The Run is enough.
If you explore unknown areas and do ultras, yes. The Race S is worth it.
If you're afraid of breaking your watch, yes. The Race S is repairable.
If you're on a budget, no. The Run is excellent for the price.
