Suunto Run All Black

Ok for a first GPS watch, but not for an experienced runner

I downgraded (and yes it's a downgrade) from the Peak Pro that was about three years old. This was lighter and the strap didn't keep popping up the way the Peak Pro did so immediately I liked it more for everyday wear. It's missing a lot of the sport modes I liked in the peak pro - instead focusing on only running (which I guess I could have figured out by the description). The phone notifications are useless - they don't tell you who they are from and there's no way to add that information - a major oversight. Also my first interval run there was some setting where every minute it would vibrate to tell me I wasn't in my ideal HR zone - a setting I have since fixed but almost caused me to throw it off a mountain during that first run. So far it's strictly okay. I'm probably going to give and put the peak pro back on for workouts eventually.

Light, Bright, Long-Lasting Runner's Watch

Love the big, bright screen, the light weight of the watch, and the ease of maneuvering through the menu options. The fabric band is light, tight enough, comfortable, and reduces under-band sweat build-up compared to silicon bands. Lots of workout apps to choose from and exercise data to monitor. Great value, even at suggested retail price, but I got a super deal ($100 off!) during the U.S. 4th of July sale. I also ordered one for my daughter who runs more than I do and plans to triathlon in the future. We both love this watch!

This is the perfect watch for every day activity tracking from Suunto that I’ve found. It probably won’t make it through a 100 mile ultra, but that’s fine by me.
