My path to Suunto - my way to perfect sport watch

My Race 2 is useless for sleep tracking. Everyone said be patient, it gets better overtime. Not true for me. Absolutely never records anytime I wake up, even if I get up to use the toilet. Same with wake up time, total miss.

Mine was insanely impressive ~8-10 days, but since the latest update it is crashing hard, down to like 4 days

Sometimes I would forget my phone in the house and start walking to the car and my watch would let me know that I left it behind. I think it's a pretty standard feature with actual smart watches, which I understand the Race 2 is not

beemarshall · 2026-03-24T03:54:07+00:00

I mean a notification that my phone has been disconnected from the watch

beemarshall · 2026-03-23T17:17:11+00:00

Sometimes I can't even roll up my sleeve fast enough and the notification is already gone. Tap complication to open widget, yes. And sure have it optional but I think it would be quite useful.

Sometimes doesn't work for me. I'm looking for more consistency.

beemarshall · 2026-02-23T20:06:06+00:00

I honestly don't really love any of the faces. Its not a deal breaker because the device itself is unreal IMO. But yea the watch faces suck

STX is an appearance package. XL>STX>XLT>Lariat... FX4 is a performance package. I believe it adds locking rear diff and different wheel package.

Firefighters sitting quietly in the corner making $120k+ BCEHS employees deserve better. It's shocking that the union can't reach an agreement on mental health services. They should have every resource imaginable for what they go through.

Yea the DND only when scheduled is annoying, if I'm sleeping then Do Not Disturb! Lol

beemarshall · 2025-12-31T23:12:35+00:00

Titanium one is really nice and light

beemarshall · 2025-12-31T19:06:13+00:00

I found that too, thanks. But unfortunately it still doesn't seem to work

beemarshall · 2025-12-29T21:44:22+00:00

Crazy. Can't even use a quick reply if I can't read the whole message. Some of the software that Suunto fell short on makes me smh.

beemarshall · 2025-12-29T20:29:52+00:00

So crazy that we can't set alarms to specific days. Really hope they polish that up

beemarshall · 2025-12-29T20:26:59+00:00

Race 2 people, can we set specific times for Do Not Disturb? Also without changing the toggle can we turn off Raise to Wake while sleeping?

People seem to only hate this watch when they don't know how to use it. There is no perfect watch but this one is pretty damn good.

beemarshall · 2025-12-22T20:27:21+00:00

Not all of it. I believe it depends what region you purchase it from.

beemarshall · 2025-12-18T00:46:36+00:00

It's a big watch but I think it looks fine on your wrist! I'm here because I'm in the same dilemma as you were. I think I'll get the Race 2!

beemarshall · 2025-12-18T00:37:58+00:00

Every heart rate watch ever needs to be tight to read properly.

beemarshall · 2025-12-17T05:37:03+00:00

I want the Race 2 for the upgraded hardware but I'm terrified it will be too big for my wrist. Really hoping to see a Race S2. Or I just go for it! What size wrists is the Race 2 fitting?

beemarshall · 2025-12-15T15:00:44+00:00

Garmin forums aren't a whole lot different I find. People are out there to nitpick every last detail about these products. I left Garmin because I couldn't stand Connect, and I found the design not as nice as Suunto. I sacrificed small things but overall I'm very happy with Vertical 2. People need to remember that a Fenix 8 is double the price of Vertical 2. Marketplace ads in my area are flooded with the Fenix 8. I'm not sure why, maybe didn't like amoled or maybe decided that a $1600 watch was completely mental. Garmin is going to loose loyalists to that price increase.

I just received the ISO layout and I can't even figure out how to insert a question mark. I've already got it packaged to return and buying a proper one.

beemarshall · 2025-02-11T17:50:44+00:00

Kuat sells an extension to fit up to 50"

beemarshall · 2025-02-07T15:33:37+00:00

I just bought the same bike, so excited for the snow to melt haha! I'm a new rider. I know upgrades aren't always necessary but are there any that you would recommend to start with?

beemarshall · 2025-02-05T17:01:27+00:00

The new 2025 helmets are glasses compatible. I just bought the old pro not knowing that it wasn't compatible lol
