Suunto Run User Guide

Display settings

In the display menu, you can adjust the following features: the level of brightness (Brightness), whether the inactive display shows any information (Always-on display), whether the display activates when you raise and turn your wrist (Raise to wake), after how many minutes of inactivity the screen goes off (Off screen time), whether you wear the watch on your left or right wrist (Wrist), and whether you wear the watch with the buttons on the left or the right side (Crown direction).

The display features can be adjusted from Settings > Display.

  • The Brightness setting determines the overall intensity of display brightness; Low, Medium or High.
CAUTION:

Prolonged use of the high brightness display reduces battery life and may cause screen burn-in. Avoid using high brightness for extended period to lengthen display lifetime.

  • The Always-on display setting determines if the inactive display is blank or shows information, for example, the time. Always-on display can be toggled on or off:
    • On: The display shows certain information all the time.
    • Off: When the display is inactive, the screen is blank.
TIP:

You can quickly turn on the Always-on display setting in the Control panel.

CAUTION:

The use of Always-on display reduces battery life by about 30%.

  • The Raise to wake feature activates the display when raising your wrist to look at the watch.

  • The Off screen time setting determines the time after that the screen goes off or in case of inactivity. You can set it to 10, 15, 30 or 60 seconds.

  • With the Wrist and Crown direction settings, you can determine if you wear the watch on your left or right wrist, with the buttons on the left or the right side. With these settings, you can change the display orientation and comfortably wear the watch on either wrist.
