Run 2

@jthomi yeah, he does good reviews, although he got one thing wrong about the mapping: Race S and Race 2 / Vertical 2 have the same capabilities. There is no price differentiator. Only the Race S is one update behind to have street names…

@Egika I meant the pic you shared about 4Gb and 64GB

@Egika I think Suunto needs english speaking person that has same or similar content to Joaquin. I don’t know Spanish and I hate that YT autodub. Nothing against Joaquin, he has great content, just english would be much more easier to listen.

I absolutely agree to that.

Joaquin is doing an amazing job. For me personally the YT auto translate is ok. But at least I would wish for the slides (pictures) to be in English.

@Dušan-Ković
I completely agree — I’ve also found it rather odd that some of the best official information about new Suunto hardware is being released in Spanish rather than in English.

@Egika I haven’t seen this anywhere else? It’s not on the main Run 2 page (APAC page)?

@Wilson75 It’s not really, 4Gb is significantly less than 64Gb.

It’s like buying an iPhone with 16Gb or storage or 256Gb.

Kristin Jensen

i want the Run2 software on my Vertical2! Why on earth do Suunto use 2 different OS?? seems so stupid to me

Egika

@Kristin-Jensen and I want the V2 UI in my Run.
I am not really getting used to scroll the wheel between screens during activity.
Also I don’t like the widgets to appear when scrolling in both directions from the watch face.

Anyone noticed? Baro and FusedAlti Gone. Only GPS Altitude measurement?

has been discussed above. This comparison data is not complete. Run2 has a barometric altitude sensor and then of course is also using FusedAlti

@Egika Thanks! That’s good. And I also think the 35g weight is with a nylon band, not the silicone band…

I think this it without band…

suuntastic

@Egika maybe this gets also updated… And available with nylon…

So the Run 2 would be more comfortable for running in the park, joining run clubs, and wearing to sleep. and the V2 for actual races.

@suuntastic Cleary stated on the website, 35g is only the watch without any straps.

A friend of mine did the OCC with the Run

@TrailEyes There’s a video out from DaveDoesFitness that also may be a bit confused on the 4GB / 64GB differences.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zjgS1ZaShC4&pp=ugUHEgVlbi1VUw%3D%3D

From about 2:50 into the video, I’ll attempt a transcription:

“Suunto Run 2 now comes with maps on the higher storage option. So, that’s right, we’re getting two versions here. The Suunto Run 2 retails at $349 and that gets you the 4 gig version. Or $399 gets you the 64 gig version, which is where all your offline maps and music will be living.”

Does not quite say “no maps on 4GB” directly, and didn’t see a “Suunto told me” comment (no one’s really commented yet), but this makes the third reviewer who either jumped to conclusions or filmed working with wrong or outdated info.

On the other hand, a video by Quantified Scientist gets things right, noting the two storage options and correctly states both can receive offline maps.

So either several people made the same assumption/mistake, or was given poor info from their Suunto rep (who easily could also have been mistaken, rather than a last minute spec change). I’d say in either way, that’s a bit on Suunto for not ensuring the proper info was out there for everyone.
