00:00 Hey, what's up, Nick with Bearded Adventures here to talk to you about the Suunto Run watch

00:07 I just picked up about a month ago around Thanksgiving time.

00:11 I've been running with it and playing tennis and lifting weights over the last month.

00:17 This replaces my Garmin Instinct, but yeah, I'm out for a run today with it.

00:24 Just wanted to share my thoughts and a review on the watch.

00:29 Why the Switch?

00:30 The Instinct is a great watch, but honestly, it's boring.

00:33 No color, no personality, just black and gray forever.

00:38 The Suunto Run is a totally different vibe.

00:40 Bright amulet screen, sharp custom watch faces, light, and very enjoyable to wear.

00:48 A lot of reviewers say the same thing.

00:50 It's only 36 grams and has a beautiful color display.

00:59 Am I testing?

00:76 I don't see a huge difference in the GPS accuracy.

00:81 The Suunto does have dual band GPS, which allows for a more accurate tracking.

00:108 This watch does not have full maps, but it does have tracking and routes you can download

00:114 to it.

00:115 An important part of that is you can do Broadcom technology, which tracks you as you go.

00:121 You can then revert back to where you came from.

00:124 So if you get lost, you can always revert back to the breadcrumb and go on a track back

00:129 to where you were so you don't get lost.

00:132 It's very important.

00:133 I came across that with other watches where I couldn't find my trail, it disappeared on

00:138 me.

00:139 Not really disappeared, but I turned around and I had to use my watch and breadcrumb technology

00:144 to find my trail.

00:146 So that is a very important feature to me.

00:163 The heart rate analytics turned out awesome.

00:177 Very similar to a chest strap at war.

00:180 I do have a Wahoo chest strap and the heart rate came out to almost exactly the same.

00:188 The cool thing about this watch is it can be used for more than just running and hiking.

00:192 I do use it for tennis and weightlifting.

00:199 One of the features I really like is the morning report.

00:204 It also gives you a weekly report, but I know it's not a huge deal or really big to anyone.

00:209 If you look at the analytics on that, this was on Thanksgiving, so I got very little

00:215 sleep.

00:216 But I think it's cool that every morning I wake up and have this cool little happy message

00:220 from my watch saying, hey, this is how you did the other day.

00:229 One of the features I do really like is that you can change the watch faces by going into

00:233 the Suunto app.

00:236 As you can see here, there are several different watch faces and all different kinds of analytics.

00:241 A new one they just came out with is my photo where you can change the watch face to a photo

00:246 that you particularly like.

00:248 One thing that excited me about this was actually the analytics that it shows you on

00:252 the watch face were ones I really like needed.

00:256 I always like to have the sunset time and sunrise time and then to have heart rate,

00:262 date.

00:263 And then I have this cool picture of us in Mirnin.

00:269 The only negative I found is the battery life on this watch.

00:272 It lasts a couple of days if you have the always-on display on and if you're doing quite

00:277 a bit of running using GPS.

00:280 I found my workaround is throw it on the charger when I take a shower.

00:285 This actually does two things because there's another complaint that a lot of people have.

00:288 I haven't experienced it too much, but when you shower, water hits the display and does

00:293 crazy things like turns you on and makes you start running and different things like that.

00:298 So I just take the watch off when I shower, throw it on the charger, and I get at least

00:303 25% while I'm showering.

00:305 Sometimes I even get more.

00:312 So bottom line, the watch is durable with a plastic body and Gorilla Glass lens.

00:318 It's fun to wear and look at and enjoyable to wear day to day.

00:322 My final thoughts on the Suito Run is it's an awesome watch.

00:327 Thanks for watching.

00:328 I hope this review helps you out.

00:329 We'll see you on the trail.
