Suunto and Garmin compete in the sports watch market

The competitive landscape for high-end sports watches is shifting as brands like Suunto and Garmin offer varying value propositions. The Suunto Race 2 is positioned as a more affordable alternative to Garmin's premium models, specifically targeting trail runners. It features offline mapping, navigation, training tracking, and accurate sensors. A key advantage for Suunto is its offline cartography, which allows users to see detailed terrain, paths, and roads rather than just a GPS line.

Meanwhile, the Garmin Venu 3 remains a strong competitor in the market. Despite the release of newer models, the Venu 3 is highlighted for its precision, bright AMOLED screen, and robust build. It is currently noted for its competitive pricing in certain markets, such as being available for under 300 euros at retailers like Boulanger, making it a high-performance option for consumers looking for efficiency and battery life.
