The Suunto Race 2 is a tough Garmin Forerunner 570 rival for focused runners


Improved accuracy, fantastic battery life, a brighter display, TrainingPeaks data, and SuuntoPlus apps make the Race 2 an excellent running watch option.

I've taken the Suunto Race 2 out enough to know that its battery life isn't a facade, the accuracy has improved significantly, and the ZoneSense tool fixes a complaint I've had with Garmin's training load data for some time. You don't get a mic, speaker, flashlight, ECGs, music storage, or contactless payments, and Garmin offers native workout plans while Suunto relies on TrainingPeaks. I do wish ZoneSense didn't need a chest strap, but I find it very cool that Suunto has a SuuntoPlus app store full of unique integrations and alternative training tools like this.
