Suunto Run + New Strap

Alonzo

@AntoniusGaius I really hope that Suunto will test new SW on Run watches this summer, then integrate S+ into it (fall25…) and then will make a big rollout for Race/S/Vertical/etc (winter25 ).

Egika

@Alonzo I don’t think that S+ will make it into Suunto Run.
As briefly mentioned before, many of the essential S+ functions are baked into Run’s firmware.
There is Ghost Runner, eat and drink reminders, a reminder to turn around and go back based on time or distance, metronome, additional running metrics etc.

Alonzo

@Egika fair enough. It would anyway be great to have new OS hopefully with current bug fixes and new features together with S+ on Race/Vertical, wouldn’t it?

Egika

@Alonzo right!
Me personally, I won’t like the different UX on the current watches, but definitely some of the new features. At least for track running we know it is coming.

@Egika +1 ! I’m impatient so see structured workouts improvement to come out to SRs/SV/S9pp

Egika

@Tieutieu right!
And the small-font-full-of-information screen of Run will most likely also be reworked during summer

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…

On French Suunto web shop, only black and lime are available now.

GiPFELKiND

@Mi_chael in German webshop its the same. Yellow and black only

Stefano M64

the shop of your neighbour is always better

timecode

Damn, I wanted the black one so bad, but it’s the only one sold out

isazi

The watch should also be available now in most Suunto online stores (it is in stock in NL)

Mi_chael

@isazi

Sadly not in frost gray…

isazi

@Mi_chael gray is available in NL, I believe there is low stock and for some reason different countries are showing different availability

Mi_chael

@isazi

Not for me …
