So, I have had my Suunto for just over 2 weeks now, and have had it n my wrist as a watch all that time, and have been running pretty much every day too, but it was only this evening as I was going out of the door that I actually thought to use it, y'know, for the purpose for which it was intended.
What has happened to me?
Is it that it's so pretty you thought it was for fashion?
We're you saving it so that the satellite connections didn't wear out too soon?
Have you started enjoying running for it's own sake without stats?
Distracted by the joy of running?
Rig, Rig you're slipping. 
You're running because you love running and you're not hung up about a new target, speed or whatever. I was looking at fitbits recently and they monitor your every move , even how well you've slept! I work in a target obsessed job and the Fitbit made me run a mile away from it! 😀
This shows that, what you really needed, was a simple watch, perhaps?
Aw Rig, you should have got more shoes instead! X 😀
you got one then you jammy sod! should I get that rather than a new Garmin??
Rig
Please excuse my impertinence - but I really suspect that you need to read this book amazon.com.au/80-20-Running... - and if you have read it, maybe you need to read it again with your Suunto alongside you The Suunto will be really good to slow you down.
Most of my daily running is very slow indeed, Bazza. Now it is my 'off-season' I am just doing slow daily trogging - almost entirely Z2, mainly to keep in the habit of going out daily, with the occasional little burst of sprinting just to keep the dog on her toes or for pure fun. I only run fast if I need the loo or the weather turns more inclement than usual. I do HIIT metcon training separately and that's quite enough 'hard work' for me.
Is your SUUNTO a HRM as well?? If so, you might enjoy doing zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4 fartleks -- running slowly or faster (as the mood dictates) until you reach a certain HR number and then back off until it goes back down to the bottom of Z2 - rinse and repeat until interest wanes.
Jui - I got fed up of garmin. Although I suspect the points of contention will be fairly similar between all the big brands. But Kilian has one, and so does Emelie Forsberg and so just by wearing it, other runners automatically assume I am in their class.
After only one run, not much to report: it has a lot more functions and will take a bit of getting used to which buttons/menus etc. Once I get my head around the Vo2 sensors and all that I am sure it wil be a source of endless data delight.
Plus points so far: locked onto satellites in a fraction of the time the Garmin took; display much easier to read while on the hoof; made distinctly different noises for stop/start, pause, mile marker etc and much more audible than Garmin pleeping.
Will report more as I discover it.
