Suunto Run + New Strap
-
@Theo-Lakerveld I would not hold my breath if what DC Rainmaker has been saying for the last few years. According to him it is not Suunto or Coros not trying, he says that the companies are just not interested in taking on Suunto or Coros. Kind of like not being able to do real text responses on an Apple device vs an android. Apple is not willing to open up that functionality.

Repetition counter: COOL!
But I’m afraid I won’t be able to read (especially when moving) those tiny characters.
-
@enriqueescoms I know right.

Available from June 3 posted on Suunto Spain on IG.
-
Officially announced on suunto’s website
-
I have been testing this watch for a while
-
do the new velcro straps will be available too?
-
@isazi give us your view on the watch compared to SR and SRS.
-
@Stefano-M64 I am not sure, I believe at some point it will (I bet availability at first is only for the Run)

The watch is nice, but the new firmware: Wow. Can’t wait to find out what has changed regarding structured workouts.
-
@dulko79 not comparable for me personally, the Run is an entry level watch focused on running, not the watch I would buy. But there is a market for this, a small light watch for people running. In the last marathon I did run, the vast majority of people had cheap and old ForeRunners.
-
@isazi after watching Joachim Perez Video, it’s seem to be an awesome piece of gear for runners, with very nice features and caracteristics !
As it’s mentionned to be a “parallel” OS plateform from other watches, I’m now very curious to see what will be brought to SV, SR, SRs…
Not the watch I would by also, but a very clever move from suunto, and a very serious competitor for other brands. -
Some info from the Spanish Forum:
- New velcro straps will be available for other watches.
- No ZS at the beginning for the Suunto Run, probably later on. This I do not understand, in my opinion ZS is one key point for running.
- New OS and platform only for Suunto Run, not the others. Both platforms should co-live.
- Features from SRun will be also in the SR, SRs and SV, update likely in July.
I think it is a great product for Suunto, a killer one (Still I do not understand why do not have ZS from the beginning). The looks, the features and the price are really good compared with the other brands offer.
On the other hand I hope all the functions that aren’t hardware compatible, are ported to the SV, more in my case that I’m basically a runner and trail runner.

Already the first reviews : french “montre cardio gps” blog review from Jerôme
Interesting things to read like “New mode for the athletics track (generalized by update to other Suunto)”, Reversible wheel side (but for this I guess linked to the new OS).
-
@Tieutieu the other Suunto watches got the “placeholder” track function in the previous update, I would expect to see a big improvement to said mode in next update
-
@Tieutieu yes, track running is new to Suunto Run and will come to other watches as well.
Apart from this, there are some changes in the user interface:
You now scroll through the screens in sport mode vertically by scolling the wheel.
And it is possible to go back to the watch face while the activity is ongoingSuunto Run has a BT device management, so you can pair more than one headphone and more than one POD of the same type
Plus 4GB of storage for offline music, that can be played to connected BT headphones.

@Egika said in Suunto Run + New Strap:
Suunto Run has a BT device management, so you can pair more than one headphone and more than one POD of the same type
Is this a feature which needs additional hardware compared to the “older” watches? Or will the get this function as well with a later update?
-
@Stoke80 It is a software function.
I just don’t know which features from Run will make it to older watches. Suunto is evaluating this at the moment afaik.
