Suunto Race GPS sports watch review

The Suunto Race GPS sports watch has a large AMOLED display.

Swimming distance accuracy is not consistent and it's on the chunky side.

There are two modes: always-on and gesture-based dims.

Each watch is fully carbon offset in a Tree-Nation reforestation project with Verified Carbon Units .

Suunto Race has 15 watch faces to choose from, which can be selected on the watch itself.

There is a 'do not disturb' mode that mutes sounds and vibrations and keeps the screen dim until you turn it off.

There are almost 100 different pre-defined sports modes, with the functionality to add your own.

Each sport mode collects different data based on the activity.

The Suunto Race has a 24/7 heart rate monitor on, has been on several 10 km+ hikes , daily walks, and lifted weights two to three times a week.

GPS is so accurate you can see where you crossed the road, exactly which line you took through the park and when you stopped to let the dog play in the river — it's eerily good, come to think of it! The battery life is exceptional— we'd happily take it away for more than a week and leave the charging cable at home.
