Suunto Run + New Strap
-
@suzzlo mediamarkt in Spain has a black option listed on their website. There are some pictures but not a lot of details, nothing about new FW. More will be clear at the release which should come some time soon based on recent leaks.
-
so i opened reddit
I don’t get it. The April 17th article? There’s probably a whole review and a photo of the new UI.

@suzzlo said in Suunto Run + New Strap:
@sky-runner have you being able to use it? Do you know if is the FW an evolution of the existing watches o a new FW?
No, I didn’t use it. I saw it for like 30 seconds but another person (Suunto rep) was showing it to me when I mentioned I knew about it. The UI looked similar but I don’t recall any specifics. That isn’t a watch I’d buy, so I didn’t even ask to hold it.

I guess that this is official, found on reddit:

The watch looks nice and all, but let me order the strap finally and can I please get that new watch face
-
@aiv4r I am waiting for the same : )
-
Seems to be very close to a release. I wonder if other watches will reach end of new features soon, since the firmware is likely to change in the new model.
S9PP 2.40.44
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel but from screenshots and description, one cannot really see any new features. My guess would be that we all get firmware update together with the launch.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel @aiv4r imho all watches with newer HW will slowly get the new OS. In the end it looks pretty similar to the current one.
-
@aiv4r There are some UI hints though that I like. I.e. look at the scrollable bar instead of the arrows up/down. Also It looks like the in focus item is bigger and the others smaller, etc. Very nice. What I didn’t see although it was hinted is the lack of music features (not that I want any - except if you can load Spotify or other service music
) -
What leaves me a little puzzled/surprised is the 34 sport modes thing. Compared to what’s being reported for the rest of the watches: “more than 95 kinds of sports.”
Will it have a different OS than the rest of the watches? Or will it be the same but limited (like Garmin)? Hmm, I don’t know, I don’t like this mismatch at all…
-
@enriqueescoms same here. My guess that it will be trimmed version of the same OS/SW. But yea a bit puzzeled why 34 and what exactly will be trimmed ( i guess running/walking/hiking stuff will stay)
-
Limited sport modes is something I dislike to see; it just seems a lazy way to differentiate models, and if one can add their own modalities, couldn’t someone simply just add them back in with some effort?
I understand the need to make Run different from Race, and have an upsell method to have people who come in to look at the Run also consider the Race, but I’d rather those be hardware differences, or software features that require hardware support.
It’s an annoyance when looking at Garmin’s lineup (which is way too many models to begin with) where various features are turned on or off on models almost seemingly at random.
