Suunto Race S

Most GPS training watches are overbuilt with large screens and heavy straps. But if you have smaller wrists, measure every gram, or just want a watch that goes subtle under any shirt — the options get "thin" fast. 

The Suunto Race S delivers the full training feature set of the Suunto Race in a compact 45mm, 60-gram package — and it's one of the best-value AMOLED GPS training watches on the market.

All the Watch You Need. None of the Bulk You Don't.

Compact Size, No Feature Cuts At 45mm and just 60 grams (53g in titanium), the Race S is 28% lighter than the standard Race. It's thin enough to disappear under a cuff and light enough to forget mid-effort. What Suunto didn't cut: dual-band GPS, 32GB of offline map storage, 115+ sport modes, free offline maps, or Suunto Coach training intelligence.

An HR Sensor Built to Keep Up Suunto redesigned the optical heart rate sensor on the Race S with double the number of LEDs compared to the original Race. The result is cleaner heart rate data during high-intensity intervals, track workouts, and tempo efforts — so your zone training stays honest without defaulting to a chest strap.

Battery Life That Earns Its Keep Up to 30 hours of dual-band GPS tracking in performance mode. That's more than enough for most trail races, long training days, and back-to-back weekend efforts. Drop into Tour mode and it stretches to 120 hours. And when you do need to recharge, the Race S goes from zero to nearly full in under 40 minutes — fast enough to top off at an aid station without stopping your activity recording.

The Race S pairs that battery with a vivid 1.32-inch AMOLED display that stays readable in direct sunlight, and a digital crown for fast menu navigation without taking your gloves off. Suunto Coach monitors your HRV, sleep quality, and training load to deliver personalized feedback on when to push and when to pull back. Free offline maps with turn-by-turn navigation keep you oriented on any terrain — even deep off the grid.

When you're 80 miles into a hundred-miler, the last thing you want is a heavy watch dragging on your wrist.
