One of my favorite affordable running watches just got even more affordable. The Suunto Run is on sale for $199 , down from its regular price of $249. That’s a hefty 20% discount (or $50) on Black Friday.
My colleague Beth Skuerecki reviewed the Suunto Run and was very pleased. She praised its lightweight design, bright display, and excellent GPS and heart rate accuracy.
As an avid runner, I know Suunto is something of a cult classic: a niche choice for runners who value simplicity without sacrificing quality. For those who value reliable tracking and consistent performance without breaking the bank, this is a great option.

If you’re looking at other models in the Suunto lineup, some are currently on sale:
Each of these watches offers different features depending on your training needs, but the Run model remains my favorite among quality budget options.
If you’ve been putting off upgrading your running watch (or finally bought your first one), this Black Friday discount makes the Suunto Run a great choice. For $199, you’ll get a reliable and functional running companion.
How long do Black Friday deals actually last?
Black Friday sales officially begin on Friday, November 28, 2025, and will run throughout Cyber Week—the five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. However, the dates of Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been shifted as retailers compete for shoppers. You can take advantage of the same Black Friday deals early in the season , and we expect the sale to end by December 3, 2025.
Are Black Friday deals worth it?
In short, yes, Black Friday still offers deals you rarely see the rest of the year. If you’re shopping or looking for gifts, now is the time to look for deals on essentials, especially tech , home goods , and fitness equipment . Of course, if you’re looking to save money, the best way to save is to buy nothing.
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?
Black Friday used to favor large retailers and higher-end appliances, while Cyber Monday favored cheaper appliances and gave small businesses a chance to compete online. However, today, this distinction has become virtually meaningless. Every major retailer runs sales on both days, so it’s best to know what you need, use price trackers, or consult guides like our blog , which uses price trackers, and not worry about finding the perfect time.
