Performance
The Suunto Ambit3 sport watch is a powerful device in many ways. Through the app, there is a feature called bike power that analyzes your cycling and reads out as power watts, which may be useful to a handful of people, yet it is still an interesting feature. The heart rate monitor, also known as the smart sensor, provides accurate heart data for your personal records. The Ambit3, through Suunto Ambit3 peak, will know when it is your recovery time and status during this health journey. If the Suunto Ambit3 is a yawn there are still other options to choose from such as the Lintelek Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate Monitor that offers a different design, or Timex Ironman Classic 30 Full-Size 38mm Running Watch.
Design
This is one of the few watches that nailed being bold and futuristic while still having a fashionable feel to it. This is the kind of watch that goes well with an outdoor or a night out outfit. The bit style display gives the watch that traditional digital look, and most likely helps stretch out that battery like to its 200 hours. With a gps watch as stacked as this, you can’t help but see why it may be a little of the heavier side. It’s a bummer there weren’t more color options.
