Suunto has introduced the Race 2, a performance-driven smartwatch designed for athletes who demand precision, durability, and all-day versatility. With a larger and brighter 1.5-inch AMOLED display, the Race 2 ensures quick readability in any lighting, whether you’re navigating mountain trails or glancing at your stats mid-race. The sleeker, lighter design enhances wearability, while an upgraded back panel delivers more accurate heart rate monitoring directly from the wrist.

Performance is backed by serious stamina: the Suunto Race 2 offers up to 55 hours of continuous battery life in GPS mode, making it one of the most reliable options for endurance athletes. Quick-snap charging ensures fast top-ups, while advanced temperature regulation maintains steady performance. The watch also supports over 115 sport modes, ranging from trail running and cycling to ski touring and open-water swimming.

Navigation is another standout feature, with highly detailed offline maps, dual-band GPS, and Suunto’s Climb Guidance, which helps users anticipate terrain in real time. Heatmaps and route planning through the Suunto app provide additional utility for athletes who enjoy exploring or optimizing their training routes.

The Race 2 isn’t just about hardware—it’s an innovative training partner. With Suunto Coach, the watch provides personalized insights into load, recovery, and progress, giving actionable feedback to help optimize every session. Priced at $499, the Race 2 combines rugged design, long-lasting power, and advanced software into one of the most compelling multisport watches available today.
