In this article, I’ll walk you through my experience with the watch, focusing on its performance for hiking, its most useful features, and whether it’s worth the investment.

The main reason I bought my Suunto Race S was to be able to follow AllTrails routes directly from my watch, with detailed maps, without having to pull out my phone every few minutes to check if I was still on the right track.

It makes the whole experience much more enjoyable because you can almost completely disconnect from your phone and immerse yourself in nature. I found this much harder

Château de Pierrefonds is probably one of the most beautiful castles in France, yet it remains far less well known than famous Loire Valley castles such as Château de Chenonceau or Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire.

The landscapes and lakes can make you feel like you are in Canada or even in the Alps. If you are looking for a

Parc Astérix is one of the most fun day trips from Paris and is often considered better suited for adults than Disneyland Paris. Inspired by the famous French Astérix and Obélix comic books, the park features more than 50 attractions for both children and adults. I found it really cool that park is themed with all the different adventures Astérix and Obélix encounter in the comic books. I personally found the roller coasters to be great, and tickets for Parc Astérix is usuall

To be honest, Château de Rambouillet is one of the most beautiful castles I have ever seen in France.
