"I went many years without testing Suunto products, but last year's Suunto Race grabbed my attention and impressed me with its combination of value and performance (in most areas). I'm pleased to say the company's latest offering, the has improved in the major area of my concern: heart rate accuracy, while adding a few other elements to make it one of the best sports watches available today."
"The next-generation optical heart rate sensor on the back of the Suunto Race 2 provides much more accurate heart rate readings, approaching other watches I compared it to. GPS accuracy remains spot-on, and the battery in the Race 2 has been increased by five hours to a total of 55 hours in performance mode with dual-band GNSS. The new Race 2 has a slightly larger 1.5-inch AMOLED display, compared to 1.43 inches on the Race."
"You can only pin a single widget to a swipe left from the watch face action, but you can add a host of widgets available when you swipe up or spin the digital crown. The top and bottom buttons can also be customized with regular actions; I have mine set to the alarm clock and flashlight utilities, respectively. Simply press and hold to initiate these actions."
Suunto Race 2 features a next-generation optical heart-rate sensor that significantly improves wrist-based heart-rate accuracy and brings readings closer to competing watches. GPS performance remains reliable and precise. Battery life in performance mode with dual-band GNSS extends to 55 hours, an increase of five hours. The watch offers a slightly larger 1.5-inch AMOLED display with 2000-nit peak brightness for excellent visibility. The case is 0.8 mm thinner and the titanium model weighs 65 grams. The interface supports customizable widgets, programmable top and bottom buttons, and a wide range of sports modes to suit varied athletic needs.
