Suunto Race 3 and Race 3 S leak from Suunto’s website
The Suunto Race 3 and Race 3 S have been spotted on Suunto’s official website and widely reported. Both watches feature AMOLED displays, dual-band GNSS, and ship with a three-month trial of a new AI Coach service that requires a paid subscription. Launch scheduled for 2026, presumably within 3 months.
Specifications
Race 3: 1.5-inch AMOLED display, mineral glass, extended battery focus. Race 3 S: 1.32-inch AMOLED display, sapphire crystal, lightweight trail variant.
