A few days ago, I reported that the mysterious Suunto watch model OW261 was spotted in the FCC database—confirming via packaging labels that this isn’t a Race 3, but the upcoming Suunto Run 2.
Today, while digging through international regulatory databases to track its global rollout, I found model OW261 popping up in official Asian certification registries: Sertifikasi Indonesia (SDPPI) and SIRIM Malaysia.
The New Certification Spotting
When a manufacturer prepares a new smartwatch for a global launch, it must pass through national telecom and radio approval bodies. The appearance of model OW261 in both Indonesia and Malaysia confirms that Suunto is preparing for a multi-region release.
Here is what the latest database filings reveal:
1. Indonesia Certification (SDPPI / Sertifikasi)

What This Means for the Release Date
Seeing the same model number (OW261) pass regulatory checks in North America (FCC), Malaysia (SIRIM), and Indonesia (SDPPI) within weeks of each other is a clear pattern.
Regulatory approvals are usually one of the final hurdles before a commercial announcement. With multiple international certifications now officially cleared, Suunto is likely placing the finishing touches on its marketing rollout. Expect an official announcement for the Suunto Run 2 very soon.
I will keep tracking the databases for hardware specs and official image leaks as they surface. Stay tuned!
