Suunto just dropped the Suunto Run, and if you’re looking for a no-nonsense, high-performance running watch that won’t wreck your wallet, this one’s got your name on it. Priced at $249 and weighing just 1.2 ounces, the Suunto Run is engineered for runners who care about results, not fluff. It may not have fancy apps or NFC payments, but it has smart, streamlined training tech and one of the brightest AMOLED displays in its class.

Key features include real-time marathon pacing predictions—so you can ditch the guesswork mid-race—and the new Ghost Runner mode, which lets you race your past self or a virtual pacer on the same route. The Suunto Run is also swim-friendly with 5ATM waterproofing, packs 32 customizable sport modes, and offers 12 days of battery life in smartwatch mode (or up to 20 hours in full GNSS-tracked workouts).

Unlike chunkier competitors, the Suunto Run is sleek, has two strap sizes, and fits smaller wrists without feeling like you’re wearing a brick. Its dual-frequency GNSS for accurate tracking, rotating crown, two-button interface, and steel bezel for durability nail the essentials.

It may not replace your smartwatch, but that’s not the point. This focused, affordable tool is built for runners who want clean data, smart pacing, and zero distractions. No subscriptions. No gimmicks. Just run.
