Suunto Oy is a Finnish manufacturer and marketer of sports watches, dive computers, compasses, and precision instruments. Despite being globally active, the headquarters is located next to the factory, where the majority of the work stages are still handcrafted.

Suunto manufactures multi-function electronic wristwatches such as the Core, Ambit, Vector, X-Lander, and X10 that can provide a variety of functions such as compass bearings, altitude, training effect, and even GPS location depending on the model. Suunto’s multi-function electronic sport watches are developed for a variety of activities such as sailing, golfing, hiking, mountaineering, alpine skiing, and training. Here’s a list of incredible Suunto watches.

1.      Suunto Ambit GPS Watch

One of the incredible Suunto watches available is the Suunto Ambit GPS Watch. The well-known Finnish manufacturer unveiled a groundbreaking multifunctional sports watch that can operate in GPS mode for up to 50 hours, which is more than three times longer than the nearest competitor. The Suunto Ambit GPS watch, which combines navigation and performance-tracking functions, can be of great assistance to various types of outdoor athletes, explorers, and adventurers.

Suunto Ambit includes a GPS navigation system as well as speed and distance indicators, a heart rate monitor, a barometric altimeter, a 3-D compass, a thermometer, and track logging. The Ambit’s extraordinary battery life, which allows for extended sports activities such as backcountry skiing, hiking, and mountain climbing, as well as mountain biking and marathon running, sets it apart from the competitors. It is also a very useful tool for exploring and mountaineering expeditions. You get to choose routes and navigate your route to and from your location in multiple coordinate systems using Ambit’s full-featured GPS.

In addition, the watch will constantly notify you of altitude and weather conditions, allowing you to feel relatively safe in the wild. It also provides more precise information about speed and distance. It also monitors your vertical and climbing speed. Heart rate monitoring combined with the Peak Training Effect provides extremely useful guidelines for optimizing your training, while the Recovery Time function estimates the optimal break time.

2.      Suunto Core Extreme Edition Silver Watch

The Suunto Core Extreme Edition Silver is a limited edition version of the Core with a design inspired by the company’s iconic big dive computer wristwatch. The time, calendar, alarm, second timezone, stopwatch (chronograph), countdown timer, sunrise and sunset times, altimeter (with graphical log), barometer (with a log for weather prediction data), compass, and depth meter are all included.

The Suunto Core is a great daily watch for anyone who loves a big, dynamic, and digital watch on their wrist. The backlight operates well for reading the time in the dark, and the information at your fingertips is useful.

3.      Suunto Elementum Terra Watch

Elementum watches are distinguished by their “functional simplicity.” Suunto chose accessible functionality over inaccessible functionality. The Elementum Terra includes several useful functions that are all very simple to use and it contains two sensors.

A pressure sensor is a type of electronic compass. The pressure sensor provides both barometric pressure and altitude data. The watch’s main screen displays the time, date, altitude, and barometric pressure trend and reading at all times. The compass is activated by pressing a button.

Its barometric pressure scale transforms into a North arrow, and the watch dial displays the degrees you are pointing in. The watch also has an alarm and a basic chronograph. The chronograph measures 1/100 of a second for one minute and then up to 99 minutes. In addition, the watch has two timezones. You also get a handy altimeter logging function. It shows how long you’ve been climbing and how much altitude you’ve achieved. The 44mm steel case has a 24mm width and a 21mm leather strap.

4.      Suunto Essential Copper Watch

The Suunto Essential Copper is designed for the urban weekend adventurer, with a warm copper finish, a comfortable leather strap, and a negative LCD. The Suunto Essential is available in a range of colors and finishes, ranging from the more stylish Suunto Essential Copper to the sportier Suunto Essential Slate, which features a brushed steel case, textile strap, and positive LCD screen.

At 49mm wide and 13.4mm thick, the Suunto Essential Copper is a large watch, even for one with such athletic capabilities. Suunto Essential is powered by a standard CR2032 watch battery that can be replaced by the user through an opening on the case back. The case is solid but light and the buttons are seamlessly integrated, right down to the font used to label the buttons. The user interface of Suunto is managed by five buttons, and each menu, activity, and ABC structure is distinctive.

A chronograph, sunrise/set time, dual time, countdown timer, date, and alarm are all included in the Suunto Essential. The ABC feature is coupled with a temperature indicator, a snorkeling/freediving depth meter (good to 10m), and a storm alarm that warns of a rapid drop in barometric pressure.

5.      Suunto Kailash Smartwatch

The Suunto Kailash is the first “luxury” smartwatch from the Finnish sports watch manufacturer, and it was designed for frequent travelers in mind. Suunto hopes that the names “Kailash” and “7R” for the companion iPhone app will help people understand who the watch is intended for. The 7R app is a fancy tracking system that not only plots your current travel path, but also informs you how many countries you’ve visited, the total distance you’ve traveled, and how many days you’ve been living out of your suitcases.

Suunto refers to this collected data as your “Adventure Timeline.” The watch has a GPS signal antenna as well as Bluetooth connectivity. The global positioning satellite connection feature also performs obvious functions such as automatically updating your time and location, as well as calendar data and sunrise/sunset times. There is also a pedometer built-in. Suunto also claims a maximum battery life of 10 days.

Takeaway

The incredible Suunto watches are known for their solid construction, long battery life, and customizable battery management options. Suunto watches should be at the top of your list of what to bring with you on race day if you decide to run an endurance race, but they’re also great for running in the park or hitting the gym.
