functions as expected
Bought the watch in the beginning of January and now after 9 months of use I think it is fair to review. Yes the watch doesn’t have a lot of watch faces, yes there are no detailed maps (just plots on black background). I’m not sure why this is a surprise to anyone in the comments who researched the different brands. Anyways, bought the watch for robustness and battery life, and I am pleased with both. A lot of reviews commented on how the GPS is worse than some other brands, but after a hundred miles I haven’t seen weird tracks. This could differ with tall buildings and such. The distance and elevation is also super consistent with expectations.
My 3rd Suunto device
The software is the same as my Suunto 5. I splurged on this when it was on sale. It charges very quickly. I like the touchscreen and the few bits of additional functions, e.g. HRV. It lost one star because after a month, one of the straps is tearing from pin that holds it to the watch. The Suunto 5 strap was much bulkier, less generic. It also lost a star because I had to do two soft resets. I would loosen the watch at certain times, as I did with the Suunto 5. When this watch cannot find your HR, it shuts off that feature and the sleep tracking feature, but they do not turn back on, hence the reset. Instead of loosening it, I completely remove it now. I am not a fan of that.
Switched from Apple Watch
I had been using an Apple watch for years and wanted something round/better looking with good GPS/activity tracking and better battery life. I've had this watch for a couple weeks and am loving it. Everything on the watch/app works well. I chose this over Garmin/others because it was thinner and I didn't need maps on the screen or payment ability which are the main features this lacks compared to the other watches.
Suunto Data Sharing Policies
Suunto recently started requiring users to share location data and health data through the app. The sharing is not optional if one desires to use the Suunto app. If the user does not consent, Suunto offers app deletion as an option. Nice watch, but I will not be buying another Suunto product as a result of their data policies.
Great watch
I love this watch. Upgraded from Spartan Trainer, love the touch screen, tracks my rides and runs with what I assume to be great accuracy. BUT buy it from REI and do not, under any circumstances, buy directly from Suunto. They're customer service is the most abysmal of any company I've had the displeasure of dealing with. Completely uncommunicative, can only "chat" them. Absolutely awful. The polar opposite of dealing with REI.
First Suunto
I must say i'm impressed with this watch. It has alot of bells and whistles. And a first time owner of this product the battery life that was a selling point for me. I've owned Apple watch, and fitbits but and I must say its a lower quality products with a crazy price range for a fraction of the batter life of this product. The price for this product is also well with in range and better quality. As an athlete i'm impressed. However, the silicone band can be a bit more durable with the purchase product. Within 3 months of owning the product i've manage to loose the little ball at the end of the band. Besides that issue, I will continue to purchase Suunto products.
Get something else
The REI comparison chart shows this as having base maps, and it does not. The biometrics are both off and slow to read. HR is finicky and O2 sat is super finicky and usually wrong. The watch looks sharp, but overall, just doesn't cut it.
Great, Solid Built Outdoor Adventure Watch!
Nicely built. Solid watch with Sapphire crystal watch face unlike most in this price range (that are plastic). Simple very functional, easy to use design. Responsive touch screen. Great GPS with Breadcrumb feature. Long battery life. Fully charges in little more than 15 minutes. Only issues for me: Watch face larger than I like (42mm). O2 sensor not very accurate and quirky to function. I'm not sure of sleep monitoring accuracy.
great watch
Very happy with the watch - that said I was using a FitBit Versa so anything would probably be better! Battery life is epic. GPS works well. Lots of sports options. The vibration is a bit noisy, which is think that is a function of the connection to the band which can rattle. Also, the Sunnto App does not allow you to pick which notifications it sends so it is everything or nothing - I would prefer just calls and texts, but nothing is better every little ding.
Great watch for athletes, hikers & mountaineers!
I do a lot of hiking, running, mountain biking and high altitude mountaineering. I bought this watch a month ago to replace my 6+ yr old Ambit Peak HR. So far, it has been great watch. OHR and sleep tracking are very good. I compared the watch HR with a pulse oximeter (fingertip) and they both were close by a beat or two. You have to wear the watch snug on your wrist for this to work. Also, the HR matches with the gym's indoor bicycle HR monitor. So, either they are all wrong and match or they all work well. Few activities I did with the watch on, the tracking was very good like my old Ambit Peak. I have a Polar H10 HR chest belt, but I have not tested it yet. I also like the watch displaying the "HR zone" I am in during my workout. Battery life is pretty good and I charge every 8-9 days. I have turned off notifications (call, text, etc) on the watch. I really do not need for that feature. Also, the pedometer is way off and personally, I do not care how many steps I make in a day. Remember, this is NOT a smart watch that Samsung and Apple offers. This is meant for athletes and adventurers (hikers, mountaineers, etc). BTW, the tone is also very low (or, maybe I am going deaf) compared to my old watch. Overall, I love this watch and for the price REI has it listed for, I think it is a great watch at terrific price.
