Suunto Run + New Strap
-
Hi all,
my new journey with Suunto starts here, with a Run (no pun intended
).
After using a Coros Pace 3 for many months, I decided that my wrist would no longer tolerate bulky and heavy watches and since I missed Suunto (I have used a few in years past) I decided to give up the Coros to a friend and purchase the Run.
I can’t say anything (yet) about performance, but I am certainly very pleased with how it is assembled and it doesn’t look cheap at all! As soon as I put it on it received an update, more specifically v. 3.18.44. As mentioned in another thread, I now hope Suunto will consider adding rt DDFA (although in app processing is fine with me).
Update, some further thoughts after 3 days of use:
- The last Suunto used was a 9 Peak in which the WHR was a bit poor. The Run was a nice surprise, almost in line with my Polar H10 (1/2 beat off at worst) and I am not a WHR guy.
- GPS: Suunto way works very well, as expected, so top-noch as usual.
- UX/UI: being used to Coros way I didn’t find much difference, very smooth and fast, no hiccups.
- I start using the player (it’s there and why not?) and it’s super solid. No problem with music + bt earbuds + bt chest strap during a 2 hour workout.
- light, freaking light!
- it is now possible to pair multiple devices of the same type, finally!
- no troubles or issues found with sleep/hrv/etc so far
I plan to use it soon for my summer trails, where I think it can do its job very well and I think up to 50k is ok, I wouldn’t push it beyond that.
That said, in my humble opinion, it is a great product and I hope it finds its well-deserved place on many wrists. Think twice before buying it and then complaining because it obviously has its limitations (battery, ruggedness, etc.).
I have no idea what Suunto’s plans are for this watch and what new features it will receive, but you know every more thing is a gift…Suunto Run

while the black one isnot avaliable…out of stock -
Someone know when the frost gray colors will be available ?
On French Suunto web shop, only black and lime are available now.
-
@Mi_chael in German webshop its the same. Yellow and black only
-
in the Italian one, they are all available but the black …
the shop of your neighbour is always better
-
Damn, I wanted the black one so bad, but it’s the only one sold out
-
The watch should also be available now in most Suunto online stores (it is in stock in NL)
-
Sadly not in frost gray…
-
@Mi_chael gray is available in NL, I believe there is low stock and for some reason different countries are showing different availability
-
-
I orderd lime, orange and gray in Germany. Black was (and is) not available.
-
I ordered the black strap for my Race Ti.
I was happy to see that the pricing wasn’t too expensive.
I hope it’s not a stinky one like the Suunto HR-belt
-
In which country could you order (and when)? Here the black one is sold you since the morning
-
@Stoke80 from Finland
I ordered this morning. -
All colors apart from black are available in Germany. I ordered an orange one. Hope it somewhat resembles that Power Orange, that I love…
-
@isazi Not available in the USA. I guess we have to continue buying Abanen straps on Amazon or Garmin UltraFit, or Coros bands.
