Suunto Run 2 To Land In Malaysia On 1 October With 10-Day Battery Life, Lighter Body

Suunto has introduced its latest smartwatch, the Run 2, to the Malaysian market on October 1st. The new wearable is specifically designed for runners, boasting a lightweight design that remains comfortable and unobtrusive during runs. The Run 2 weighs just 35g, which is 1g lighter than its predecessor. However, it is marginally thicker, measuring 11.7mm compared to 11.5mm on the previous model.

The Suunto Run 2 maintains the same 1.32-inch AMOLED display as its predecessor, featuring a resolution of 466 x 466-pixel. It has a peak brightness of 2,000 nits and is protected by a stainless steel bezel and Gorilla Glass. The wearable offers 5 ATM of water resistance.

The Run 2 features a new 12-channel wrist heart rate sensor housed behind 2.5D curved sensor glass, which enhances heart rate accuracy across various running intensities. It supports dual-band GNSS, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS, providing accurate location tracking with both L1 and L5 signals.

The smartwatch comes with a Training Plan that transforms targets, such as a sub-four-hour marathon, into individual workouts. It also combines training load, HRV, sleep, and recovery data in the Training Zone. Running modes include daily training, speed work, and races, with Marathon Mode offering Ghost Runner and other race-focused tools. The watch also supports free worldwide offline maps and allows users to store and play songs on the device through wireless headphones.
