The redesigned optical HR sensor on Race 2 delivers far more reliable readings during high-intensity sessions — a notable weak point of the original Race that has been addressed.
Dual-frequency L1+L5 multi-constellation GPS for sub-meter precision in urban areas and dense forests, with 55 continuous GPS hours on a single charge.
The display grows to 1.5" at 2000 nits while the case slims to 12.5mm and drops to 76g — more readable in sunlight and easier to wear day-to-day than its predecessor.
The dual-engine Snapdragon W5 + BES2800 co-processor architecture delivers up to 5 days in Smart Mode — 2–3× longer than most Wear OS rivals. A 10-minute charge provides a full day of use.
L1 + L5 dual-band GPS gives running and cycling route accuracy typically found only on $500+ sports watches — accurate to within metres even in urban canyons.
Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation, Google Wallet contactless payment, and Play Store app access — plus Google Health Connect integration for the full Android wearables ecosystem.
The right pick depends on what you optimize for.
$329 vs $499 over 3 years · no required subscription.
16 days vs 5 days battery.
7 sensors.
50g · no required subscription.
