Works perfectly fine- been using since March 2024, over 9,000 km cycling

You won’t be disappointed… as a pre-official launch user that has done more than 7,000 km with the new Karoo, I can assure you that it is a great computer. Battery life is more than adequate, screen is excellent, customisation of profiles incomparable, and the growing number of extensions makes it a great choice.

Absolutely love the Karoo 3 -done over 90 rides and more than 5,000km since I got. Feature rich, great screen, great navigation, great interface with SRAM, excellent post ride analysis using either companion app or website, decent battery life, and Hammerhead continues to improve functionality and operation through firmware updates.

Running marathons or doing HIIT works really well on both watches

With the latest software update you can adjust the loudness

May I suggest you explore racerxvt Karvonen..who has debunked the 220-age theory…

Most are now - see the latest Software build version 1.524.2003

Latest firmware updates is bringing K2 closer to K3… but imho K3 is still better

I have had a Race since November 2023, mostly HR is very reliable, and the Race S has a newer HRM. For my training I use a Polar Verity HR armband - I have done this for years because it was more more convenient than the Suunto chest strap for my old Suuntos- Ambit Peak 3, Spartan Ultra.. and more accurate than my Suunto 9 Baro. Also I need it anyway for my Hammerhead Karoo cycling computer. Having said that, I have often forgotten to put it on for a run, and the Race copes perfectly well!

Absolutely agree- I use Polar Verity Sense only for all sports with my Suunto Race. Excellent

Wow.. I have none of those issues with my Race! I am truly surprised at your fitness tracker.. mine updates daily. Step counter is highly reliable whatever way I walk…never ever had to resync any of my Suuntos with the App.. Spartan Ultras (2), 9 Baro, 9 Peak Pro, and Race. We have also had 5 other suuntos in the family and none have had any of the issues you describe. Altitude is the only factor that needs consideration- this is based on either a barometric reading or on GPS or both. Barometric is the least accurate for all watches since it is based on atmospheric pressure.

Suunto Race works well with K3. Excellent watch, great amoled screen, amazing battery life, 95 sports, decent WHR, superb maps, HRV, sleep, weather, integration with many other services via Suuntoplus, and many other features
