Race S vs Run
Hello. I currently own a Garmin Forerunner 165 and am looking to get my first Suunto watch. I primarily run, but also do other physical activities like hiking and ultimate frisbee. I am choosing between the race S and the Run and would like people’s opinions…
I heard that the Race S has trouble with tracking heart rate. Is this true? One of the biggest selling points of the Race S (for me) is the build quality. Is it made of a stronger, more premium material? Because I heard that the Run is made of mostly plastic. I also heard that the Run apparently has a brighter, smoother screen when compared to the Race S. And, in the long run, will the Race S receive more attention in terms of software updates?
The price between the two is not a factor in my decision. Any opinions/recommendations are welcome and greatly appreciated
EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who gave their opinions on both watches! Software wise, I believe I now prefer the Race S over the Run. My final dilemma now would be over the build quality. Upon checking the website, it states that both models are made of the same materials. But reviews online claim the Race S feels “more premium” anyone with experience capable of comparing the two?
