Suunto Run + New Strap

[gerasimos]

@2b2bff seems little brother and more budget friendly of Race S

[sky-runner]

I saw Suunto Run in person. It looks nice - very similar to Race S but more plastic. The strap looked like hook and loop strap similar to Garmin Ultrafit. I was under impression that it isn’t a quick attachment strap. I’d buy a strap like that if it was available.

@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?

I hope that there are more colours than yellow one

[dulko79]

@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:

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.

[Egika]

@Bogdan1921 you were too slow

[dulko79]

Nevertheless it seems we are very close to release.

[Bogdan1921]

@Egika I have posted the link previously. I have seen all the info, but after, the page was 404

The watch looks nice and all, but let me order the strap finally and can I please get that new watch face

[timecode]

@aiv4r I am waiting for the same : )

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

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.

[aiv4r]

@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.

[timecode]

@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.

[EzioAuditore]

@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 )
