Suunto Ambit GPS watch

Hi all

 

Got wind of the new watch they are releasing, mostly aimed at trailrunners, hikers etc.

 

Looks good ! Now this or Garmin Forerunner 910xt ? Hmm...

I'm a huge fan of Suunto. Looking at this one to replace my abused t4c.

No doubt it will be pricey. Any idea where in SA stocks them? Price?

Hi Guys,

The watch is being launched end of the month gonna be an awesome watch and not as bulky as the other GPS watches. Cost I heard was around R5500 or so, definatly worth the wait

There's a good review up on DC Rainmaker.com go check it out.

 

Looks nice but lacks many features I need, the battery life being the only real drawcard for me.

Heard battery life much better than 910xt. Pornstar reviewed one. Paul Kaye (voice of ironman) swears by it. I'm in the same boat. 910xt or Suunto ambit?

Depends if you need to swim and want power meter data, then Garmin. Cheaper too.

 

The Ambit has a long battery life at almost 50 hours, but not many times I will go over 20 hours of endurance activities at one time. Also that means 60sec gps synch and 10 second recording, so not very accurate in twisty areas. However not sure if the 40% discount from Momentum Multiply applies on the Ambit, which would make it a steal.
