The Race 3S costs $599 in the US and 499 euros in Europe, DC Rainmaker reported in its review. The leak earlier this month had $499 in the US and about 499 euros in Europe, so Europe matches and the US price is $100 higher. The Race S launched at $349 two years ago. Suunto's new AI Coach subscription starts with three free months, and Suunto hasn't said what it costs after that. It told Ray Maker it wants to see what people actually use first.
Ray Maker wore the watch for a few weeks and thinks it's overpriced. Its screen peaks at 2,000 nits, while nearly every watch out this year uses a 3,000-nit panel, and the COROS Pace 4 Pro has a 3,500-nit screen for $449. Scrolling through widgets felt laggier to him than on the older Race S, even with the faster chip. The new heart rate sensor was the bright spot, a big step up from the Race S. If you want this battery in a small titanium watch, $599 is what it costs, but look at the Pace 4 Pro before you buy.
