Suunto Race S has a sleek, smooth look to suit different styles, and a smaller, compact fit. With its lighter weight, it adds comfort in races, training and everyday.

Suunto Race S – the performance watch, just smaller.

Our Verdict

The Suunto Race S Watch is a delightful fusion of performance and style, ideal for dedicated athletes and enthusiastic outdoor explorers. This latest model builds on the solid foundation of the Suunto Race but is more compact and feather-light, weighing just 60 grams. It’s a pleasure to wear whether you’re hitting the trails or simply navigating daily life.

The watch features a stunning AMOLED display that remains crystal-clear even in bright sunlight, so you can easily track your progress without straining your eyes. The battery life is impressive, giving you up to 30 hours of accurate tracking in full GNSS mode and even up to five days with GPS tracking in Tour mode.

What’s particularly exciting is the range of features packed into this small package. With over 95 sports modes and advanced training metrics, including personalised feedback on your workout progress and recovery, the Race S supports you in making every session count. The offline maps, stored on a generous 32GB space, ensure you’re never lost, even if you’re venturing into the wilderness without a signal.

Race day is where the Race S truly shines, offering tools like Race Pacer and Race Time Estimator to help you strategise and stay ahead of the competition. Its durable titanium bezel and sapphire crystal glass stand up to the rigours of intense activity.
