Suunto Race 3S Titanium Orchid

Suunto Race 3S – Premium performance, titanium durability and smart coaching in a featherweight package

Rooted in Nordic design heritage, the Suunto Race 3S is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding trail runners, endurance athletes and adventurers. Weighing just 56 grams, the watch combines flagship-class materials, a bright 2,000 nit AMOLED display, revolutionary silicon-carbon battery technology and Suunto AI Coach artificial intelligence coaching. The result is a reliable, stylish and long-lasting training companion for everyday urban life and extreme mountain races.

Premium materials and uncompromising durability

The Suunto Race 3S is built to withstand even the toughest impacts without adding extra weight. The watch’s bezel and back cover are made of titanium alloy, making the structure more durable, lighter and more luxurious than traditional metals. The watch body is made of a high-strength polymer, and the display is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Mohs hardness of 9. Scratches from rocks and blows from branches leave no marks, so route and performance data always remain crystal clear.

The watch weighs only 56 grams with a silicone strap – less than two energy gels. Thanks to the lightweight and ergonomic 46 mm case, the watch almost disappears on the wrist during long races. 5 ATM water resistance ensures full protection from heavy rain, sweat, swimming and snorkeling.

The Race 3S collection is available in three finished color options: Black, Feather and Orchid. The strap is an easily replaceable 22 mm silicone quick-release strap.

Flagship-class 2,000 nit AMOLED display and Apollo 510 processor

• 1.32" AMOLED touchscreen: The sharp 466 × 466 resolution and up to 2,000 nit peak brightness ensure perfect readability in bright sunlight, at dawn or in the thick of the forest. The display is 233% brighter than the previous Suunto Race S model.
• Adaptive 5-60 Hz refresh rate: Ensures a smooth user experience and immediate responses while maintaining excellent energy efficiency.
• Apollo 510 chip: The new generation processor offers significantly more computing power than before. Maps zooming, switching views and all functions respond to touch in the blink of an eye.
• Emergency flashlight: The AMOLED display can be switched to full white brightness from the control center as an emergency light in case of darkness.

Revolutionary silicon-carbon battery and fast charging

Advanced silicon-carbon battery technology packs more power into a compact space, increasing battery capacity by as much as 46% compared to the Suunto Race S model. Power won't run out even on long journeys:

• Up to 38 hours in the most accurate Dual-Band GPS mode (32 hours with always-on display / AOD) - 8 hours more than the Race S.
• Up to 45 hours in Endurance mode (40 hours with AOD) using single-frequency GNSS positioning from all satellites for long for hiking.
• Up to 10 days of active training (7 days with AOD), including training, sleep and recovery tracking on a single charge.
• Up to 12 days in smartwatch mode for daily use.
• Efficient quick charge: Just 10 minutes of charging gives you approximately 20 hours of additional Dual-Band GPS training time. The battery charges from empty to full in approximately 1.5-2 hours (recommended: at least 5V/1A USB charger).

Precise terrain navigation and free global maps

• Multi-frequency Dual-Band GNSS (L1 + L5): Tracks five satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS). Dual-frequency support filters out reflections and signal interference in deep ravines, dense forests and tall buildings in the dark.
• Free global offline maps: 64 GB of internal storage allows you to download detailed terrain maps directly to your watch without subscription fees. The maps include elevations, place names, roads and waterways, and work completely offline.
• Route navigation and Climb Guidance: Create routes in the Suunto app or import GPX/KML files. The watch shows your location, track, remaining distance and estimated time of arrival, and alerts you if you deviate from the route. Climb Guidance analyzes the ups and downs of the route in advance, showing the length of the climbs, average gradients and steepest points to optimize your pace distribution.
• Race Planner race strategy: Intelligent pace distribution guidance based on the route's elevation profile, weather and your fitness level helps you save energy on race day by showing you in real time whether you are staying on schedule (to be released via software update).
• Comprehensive outdoor and weather sensors: Built-in digital compass, barometric and GPS-based altimeter, thermometer, barometric pressure trend, automatic storm warnings, and sunrise and sunset times.

Smart coaching system and Suunto AI Coach

Suunto Race 3S combines training goals, individual programs, load, recovery, sleep quality, and heart rate variability (HRV) into one unit that provides clear and actionable recommendations:

• Suunto AI Coach: Talk to an AI coach in natural language. Ask for advice, receive training programs that adapt to your goals, and get clear recommendations on when to push hard and when to rest. The watch includes 3 months of free Suunto AI Coach -trial period when the watch is activated in the Suunto app by December 31, 2026.
• Updated wrist-based heart rate measurement: A new generation optical heart rate sensor and algorithms work behind a 2.5D curved lens. The design sits more closely against the skin, provides more light paths and reduces motion distortion.
• ZoneSense and true intensity: When combined with a Suunto heart rate belt, ZoneSense interprets the body's true physiological stress and automatically adjusts training zones.
• Running power and dynamics from the wrist: Track your running power directly without additional devices. The watch also measures advanced running dynamics such as cadence, ground contact time and vertical movement from the wrist.
• Recovery and health monitoring: Manual blood oxygen concentration (SpO2) measurement and while sleeping, continuous HRV monitoring, stress assessment and recovery index in the Training Zone section.
• Over 120 sport modes & SuuntoPlus™: Preset sport profiles from trail running and cycling to mountaineering and water sports, plus the ability to create your own sport modes.
