Run 2

@Egika will suunto fix comparison tables? It is not first time i noticet it is completly inacurrate. Lot of fields that shoud say “yes” are just with “-“.

@Egika each model has always better OHR advetised. But i bought Race 2, comming from S5 i expected it would be perfect, but it is just average. It works fine now but i had multiple times when it behaves wrong on Race 2. So i don’t have expectation that this time it will make a big difference.

@Tomas5 IIRC The Quantified Scientist said HR accuracy is among the best now…

@2b2bff yes but i read great reviews for OHR on Race 2 before too. But when i bought it, i had mixed filings. Sometimes it was much better than my previouse S5. Sometimes it had just different issues. Instead too high (as i had on S5) it showed too low value on Race 2. But it got better over time. I think updates helped and i don’t pay so much attention to it too. Overal i am happy with Race 2 purchase. It would like better OHR but it is usable. So i am happy.

OHR still is highly personal.
For me I always had bad HR readings when riding a bike. Vertical 2 TI was the first time I had proper readings even in this situation.
A big factor next to sensor and algorithm for me also is watch weight.
So Run 2 is in a very good position with low weight, most recent sensor and latest algorithm.

Where can I find a list of the activities that Run 2 supports? Can’t find anything on the the web site:

@Highlands Here is an overview of the supported sport modes in the Suunto app for the Run 2:

@Svenning Thank you very much,

@Svenning How are you liking your Run 2? I switched from the Race 2 because I only really do road running and wanted a lighter watch.

@strain I also switched from the Race 2 because I wanted music and a lighter watch. Now that offline maps are available, I’ve gotten so used to them that I didn’t want to miss out on that feature either.
Overall, I think the RUN 2 is great. The only drawback is the battery life—it drops to around 20% after just 5 days.
Still, I’m definitely keeping it. The lighter weight on my wrist has become much more important to me now. The only thing I really miss are one or two extra data screens while running.
