Suunto - Reviews and experiences

Was about to assume this was lost — almost three weeks waiting with no updates. I complained, ticket got opened, watch arrived next day. Glad it worked out, but communication needs to be better. Heads up.

I first saw it on a friend's wrist at the lake and bought it mostly for versatility. The moment I knew I was actually satisfied was during a long trail run — GPS held, battery lasted and HR looked reliable, and I just thought, this does what I need. I told a couple pals about it. That said, open-water swims repeatedly under-record distance (2 km shows as 1.5), which is disappointing and worth noting.

this watch didn’t cut it for me when I needed accurate swim/GPS tracking, and that’s the whole point of buying a sport watch, right? I bought it thinking I’d stepped up from casual lap counting to something that would actually record my open-water swims and rides properly. Turns out, not so much. The first clear sign was that my GPS was all over the place — zigzag lines on my swim routes, nonsense distances — so for training that relies on pace and distance, it was basically useless. I felt pretty stupid when it failed me during my first triathlon; you rely on the data and then nothing. Not cheap, either, so yeah, annoyed.
