Suunto 9 Peak Pro vs Suunto Race S
Both training-tier, but the Race S costs $200 less and rates higher — the 9 Peak Pro's case is thinner, but the Race S was built specifically for smaller wrists.

The 9 Peak Pro packs a sapphire touchscreen, stainless steel bezel, and 40 hours of best-mode GPS battery into an unusually thin, light case. Superseded by the Suunto Race S, but still a legitimate multisport option for runners who don't want a bulky watch on the wrist.
Race S keeps the AMOLED display and dual-band GPS of the full-size Race in a case built for smaller wrists, at the cost of some battery life. Still one of the better values in the mid-range watch category.
*Estimated — this model's exact GPS battery life isn't published by the manufacturer. All figures are standard GPS mode, midsize case, no solar boost.
†Estimated — this model launched too recently to have an established customer rating yet.
