Best for: Runners who want sleep as a footnote, not a feature
A superb 36-gram running watch whose sleep tracking is movement-only — Suunto says so itself.
Worth itExcellent value as a running watch at $179. Poor value if sleep data is why you are buying it.At 36 grams this is Suunto's lightest watch, with a dual-band GPS, an AMOLED screen, 34 sport modes and up to 12 days of battery while still tracking sleep. As a running watch at $179 it is genuinely hard to fault. As a sleep tracker it is the weakest on this page: Suunto's own documentation says sleep is measured from wrist movement alone, giving a duration, an estimated awake time and an estimated deep-sleep figure — no staged hypnogram, no sleep score. Blood-oxygen and HRV during sleep exist, but as optional extras rather than the basis of the reading. If you want a running watch that also notices you slept, this is a bargain. If you want to understand your sleep, everything else here does it better.

No. Suunto's support documentation for the Run says sleep is measured from movement only, and reports total duration, estimated time awake and an estimated deep-sleep figure. There is no light/deep/REM hypnogram and no sleep score. Every other tracker on this page derives stages from a heart-rate sensor.
Not for the core tracking. The Suunto app is free to download and analyses your data without a paywall, and Suunto has pointedly not followed Garmin and Polar into paid tiers for basic features. A premium tier does exist, so 'no subscription at all' would overstate it — but nothing about sleep tracking sits behind one.
The Venu 3, comfortably. It reads sleep from a heart-rate sensor, produces staged sleep and a nightly score, and scores 8 on sleep tracking here against the Run's 4. Choose the Run if running matters more than sleep data — it is lighter, cheaper and lasts longer between charges.
That is the figure Suunto quotes for daily use with activity and sleep tracking running and the display waking on wrist-raise — training time is separate, at up to 20 hours with multi-band GPS. It is the strongest battery claim on this page, and the reason a light sleeper might tolerate wearing it overnight at all.
