Each part is rated on one scale for every smartwatch and band, from reviewers' accuracy tests and measured battery life where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Much improved heart-rate sensor
  • Bigger, brighter screen with no battery penalty
  • GPS holds up in busy city streets
  • Premium feel
  • Big bright AMOLED
  • Offline maps with turn-by-turn
  • Quicker processor

Cons

  • Dearer than Race 1
  • No music storage
  • No payments or app store
  • Heart rate sometimes wrong for a whole run
  • Undercounts steps
  • Few smart features
  • Price up over the original Race
  • TechRadarOct 2025

    Better than the first Race in nearly every way; against a Polar H10 chest strap its heart rate behaved about as well as an Apple Watch Ultra 2, and GPS in central London closely followed an Apple Watch Ultra.

  • Tom's GuideSep 2025

    A real rival to the Forerunner 970 for less money with far longer GPS battery, but against a Garmin HRM600 strap heart rate was mostly close yet occasionally way off for whole runs, and GPS cut corners slightly more than the Forerunner.

  • RoadTrailRunOct 2025

    Three months of use: half-marathon heart rate averaged within 1 bpm of a Garmin Enduro 3 on the other wrist and distance within about 16 m, altitude within a few metres; a solid-value training watch, though it needs a snug strap for good heart rate.

  • Live ScienceNov 2025

    Long-lasting and well made with loads of sport modes; against a Polar H9 chest strap heart rate was fine at rest and moderate effort but became erratic above about 140 bpm, and steps differed from an Oura ring and Whoop by up to 1,000 a day.
