Suunto Run vs Garmin Forerunner 170 Music

The Suunto Run is the better pick for runners who care most about weight and battery: 36g, dual-band GPS and up to 12 days of smartwatch use. The Garmin Forerunner 170 Music is the stronger all-rounder for structured training and everyday use, with Garmin Coach plans, 80+ sport apps, 5ATM water resistance and music on the wrist. Both have bright AMOLED touchscreens and roughly 20 hours of GPS training time, so the choice comes down to running focus versus training guidance and ecosystem. Owners of the Suunto praise the light, snug fit and accurate pace; Garmin owners value the coaching plans and app depth.

• Choose the Suunto Run if you want the lightest watch here, dual-band GPS for accurate pace, and the longest battery between charges.
• Choose the Garmin Forerunner 170 Music if you want guided training plans, music on the wrist, 5ATM water resistance and a much wider sport list.
