SUUNTO's Latest Innovations in Running Watches

SUUNTO Japan LLC, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to revolutionize the running experience with the launch of its next-generation running watch, the Suunto RACE 2, and the specially designed silicone strap version of the Suunto Run, available from August 27, 2025. The anticipation for the RACE 2 has been tremendous, with pre-orders exceeding expectations shortly after they opened.

The Suunto RACE 2 builds upon the success of its predecessor, the Suunto RACE. This new model not only redefines performance and comfort but also brings innovation and safety into the mix. Designed for serious athletes, it empowers users to train harder, explore further, and continually challenge their limits.

Key Features of Suunto RACE 2

The RACE 2 features a large 1.5-inch display with a brightness of up to 2,000 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even under bright sunlight. Weighing just 57 grams without the strap, it minimizes discomfort during long wear, making it ideal for extended training sessions. Additionally, the rugged bezel and sapphire crystal glass enhance its durability, providing peace of mind during tough workouts.

Battery life is impressive, allowing for continuous GPS tracking for up to 55 hours at maximum precision settings, and up to 22 days under normal usage conditions. This reliability makes the watch perfect for ultra-marathons and long-distance activities. The training features are equally robust, with enhanced heart rate sensor accuracy, offline map functionality, Climb Guide, and Training Stress Score (TSS) for detailed performance analysis. Supporting over 115 sports modes and more than 300 external applications, the Suunto RACE 2 caters to a wide array of athletes and their training needs. It is truly an exceptional partner for runners seeking to elevate their performance.

The Suunto Run: Lightweight and Practical

From its launch, the Suunto Run has set new standards for lightweight running watches. Its 1.32-inch AMOLED display provides clear visibility in bright daylight as well as in dim early morning light, and its Corning® Gorilla® Glass ensures high durability against daily wear and tear.

Equipped with the unique SuuntoOS, this model offers practical features through 34 sport modes, including real-time pace guidance, virtual pace setting with a ghost runner, and projected finishing time display. The battery performance is impressive too, allowing for up to 20 hours of GPS use with its dual-band multi-GNSS capabilities. In everyday mode, the battery lasts up to 12 days and also supports monitoring of activity levels, sleep patterns, and stress levels.

The new silicone strap version of the Suunto Run combines style and function seamlessly. Its elegant design is versatile enough for casual wear, business settings, and workouts, making it a suitable choice for every occasion.
