Suunto announced the global launch of the Suunto Run 2, a new-generation running watch built for road running and marathon training. It is designed for runners who train with intent, from a first marathon to a personal best and brings running, training and recovery together in a 35-gram watch body that is light enough to forget and quick enough to read at a glance.

Run 2 builds on the success of Suunto Run with upgrades runners feel on every outing: a three-times-brighter 2,000-nit active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display, 29% more battery capacity, a redesigned 12-channel wrist heart rate sensor, new-generation dual-band global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and free worldwide offline maps. Alongside a broad range of running modes and training tools, Run 2 is as ready for an easy morning loop as it is for a structured interval session, a long weekend run or race day.

A 35-Gram Watch Body, Built To Stay On

Run 2 is designed to stay out of the way of the run. At 35 grams for the watch body and 11.7 millimeters thick, it sits close on the wrist through the working day, through sleep and through the longest sessions of a training block. Runners can put it on and leave it on, which means training, sleep and recovery all land in the same picture.

The 1.32-inch AMOLED display reaches 2,000 nits, three times brighter than Suunto Run, keeping pace, heart rate and distance readable in direct sunlight. Numbers are large, clear and quick to take in, so runners can check them and stay in rhythm.

A 29% increase in battery capacity over Suunto Run delivers around 10 days of everyday use with training and up to 24 hours of dual-band GNSS, enough to cover a full training week and leave the charger at home. Actual battery life may vary depending on settings, usage and operating conditions.

Built for everyday life as well as training, Run 2 combines a stainless steel bezel, Gorilla Glass and 5 ATM water resistance in a compact design made to handle changing weather, long runs and everything in between.
