New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
When I reviewed the Suunto Run earlier this year, I really enjoyed it. It’s lightweight, with a bright display and excellent GPS and heart rate accuracy. In other words, all the things you’d expect from a mid-range fitness watch, but at a more affordable price. And today it’s even more affordable, dropping to $199 in a Prime Day deal, compared to $249 normally.
It offers at least a week’s battery life (I got about seven days, while the company says it’s good for “up to 12” days) and was a delightful companion on my runs. On the trails, when I was following a downloaded route, it showed the direction I needed to go more clearly than similar Garmin and Coros watches. It also has dual-band GPS where its closest Garmin competitor (the Forerunner 165) does not. So if you’ve been looking for a good running watch at a good price, this is a perfect one to pick up.
That said, the Suunto Run is one of the lower end watches in Suunto’s lineup, though it definitely holds its own. If you’re looking for something a bit fancier, the Suunto Race is also on sale today: $319 down from $399. The Suunto Race has sapphire glass, a 26-day battery life, and access to the Suunto Plus store where you can download apps for the watch.
