Our recommendation
Suunto
Suunto Run 2
Lightweight running GPS watch (35 g case) with a 1.32" AMOLED display of up to 2,000 nits, dual-band GPS, free offline maps and offline MP3 music. Up to 24 h of GPS in the most accurate mode and around 10 days in daily use. A light watch with maps for races up to mid-distance.
Why this watch
Allgäu Panorama Marathon is an ultra: you'll finish in around 16h 53min. Your watch must record at least 22 h of GPS without recharging. Prioritise battery life and, if needed, drop to standard GPS mode to reach the finish with charge to spare.
