Editor's Verdict
Shrinking the flagship Suunto Race down to a trim 45mm case and 53–60g weight, the Suunto Race S is a triumph for smaller wrists and trail runners. It upgrades to a more accurate optical heart-rate sensor array while retaining 32GB of free offline outdoor maps, dual-band L1+L5 GNSS, and a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen at an aggressive $349 price point.
