Run 2

But I guess my thinking is wrong. The number of people who use a sportwatch actually for sport is… limited.
Actually Sportwatch (my first was 9PP) forced me to move. Numbers of steps, numbers of exercises… all of these made me enjoy sport more. Now I dont look on it like that, but it was helpful at start to start moving.
I that understand. What I don’t understand is when you would buy 4 watches in 2 years time that just gave you the same number of steps and exercises.

Well for me Vertical added maps, and Race 1 amoled. Both were big game changers for me. Especially amoled for running. For fast checking screen during run, amoled wins for me early morning or evening runs.

elbee Haha, where I live, I can trade them in and swap them around without really losing money — maybe just the cost of 2–3 cups of coffee!
And honestly, I don’t keep sports watches for very long anyway. The only ones I might keep for a long time are limited editions. -
So who in the marketing department thought it was a good idea to put a photo of their sponsored athlete wearing an HRM chest band in the section about their improved HR optical sensor?

I try to keep watches as long as possible. The only watch that brought new possibilities was my ambit 3 that enabled navigation. And 2 failures; tomtom runner and the forerunner 965. The others I used for years without feeling the need to change.

Looking at the features of the Suunto Run 2, am I the only one wondering what the point of a Race 2S/3S would be?

@runomatic I completely agree. I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Suunto Journey:
9 Baro → 9 Peak Pro → Vertical Solar → Race → Race 2 → Run → Vertical 2+Suunto spark -
@runomatic for sure more premium material (sapphire, titanium) and longer battery life in GPS mode.
Then the access to Suunto plus apps and Suunto plus guides (I’m not sure that Run OS have the possibility to import structured workouts from third party platforms, but correct me if I’m wrong).
Finally some other minor things (I believe), but right now I’m out of ideas
-
If the Run 2 doesn’t receive workouts from outside plataforms it’s a failure at start just like the Run. It’s an incomprehensible missing for a watch advertised for runners. And Suunto Plus is not an excuse because on the Run that feature seems to be intensionally blocked or the workouts created in the app wouldn’t be called Suunto Plus Guides.

Some thoughts
- More robust case
- Larger capacity battery
- SuuntoPlus compatibility
Maybes
- Sapphire glass?
- Flashlight?
- Larger 1.4" screen?
Watch: Suunto Race S

I am interested in the interval training screens (customization options), font issues, and the like, but judging by the ZoneSense screen… ‘Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.’ It’s a laughable watch, especially considering that Coros has added maps to the Pace 4 (currently in beta).
-
@perfekt_tall how do you mean it’s a laughable watch? I’m very much looking forward to swap my Run1 for the Run2. I’ve been very happy with it but only really missing maps for the occasional detour through the trails.

@GratefulDeadpan don’t feed the trolls

@GratefulDeadpan
What makes this watch laughable is that most likely, everything that wasn’t fixed in Run 1 will just carry over to Run 2. -
From first YouTube reviews, it seems that the 4gb version is not going to have maps: is that correct? Because Suunto web page doesn’t seem to mention this anywhere

All Run 2 have offline maps. This is one of the main advantages over the legacy Run.
Suunto mentions it directly on the product page:For more details about memory size and maps see here: https://youtu.be/6VzdXDd7aQQ?si=KVZTaZ9GbM-8GPy3&t=1397
