The Suunto Run is one of my favorite affordable running watches. You can read my review of the device, but here's the overview: It's got dual-band GPS, music storage, and other features that you don't get from competing brands (cough, Garmin) unless you spend at least $100 more.

Even though Amazon's Prime Day sale has ended, the Suunto Run is still on sale, and so are several other Suunto watches. This is an underrated brand and definitely worth consideration if you're into running, hiking, climbing, and other outdoorsy pursuits.

Suunto Run Prime Day deal still live

Original price: $199 | Current price: $148.99 (Save $50)

The Suunto Run is a fantastic entry-level watch for runners and general fitness purposes. Among affordable running watches, it's one of my top picks.

Suunto Core Prime Day deal still live

Original price: $194 | Current price: $148.99 (Save $45)

The Suunto Core is an "off-grid" watch, so it doesn't have GPS. It also doesn't do heart rate tracking, but does include a compass, altimeter, and barometer. The battery lasts a year. It's more a watch than a smartwatch, but if that's what you're looking for, it's a good pick.

Suunto 9 Peak Pro Prime Day deal still live

Original price: $249 | Current price: $198.99 (Save $50)

The Suunto 9 Peak Pro is similar to a MIP version of the Suunto Run and has a longer battery life—up to 21 days in smartwatch mode.

What do you think so far?

Suunto Race 2 Pride Day deal still live

Original price: $499 | Current price: $398.99 (Save $100)

The Suunto Race 2 adds a ton of features the Run doesn't have, including offline maps and the ability to add apps from the SuuntoPlus store.

Suunto Vertical Titanium Solar Prime Day deal still live

Original price: $599 | Current price: $448.99 (Save $150)

The Suunto Vertical Titanium Solar is an "adventure" watch with a rugged build, including a titanium case and sapphire glass. It also has offline maps and does solar charging—but that means it has a MIP screen, not the brighter AMOLED you may be used to.
