Review on Smart watch SUUNTO Spartan Sport wrist HR Baro, stealth by Micha Micha ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

Being a long-term user of SUUNTO brand products, when choosing a sports watch, I gave preference to this particular brand. In addition to the watch, I have 2 dive computers - COBRA and ZOOP, which I have never had any complaints about. I chose for a long time, in the end I settled on the SUUNTO Spartan Sport wrist HR Baro model. When unpacking, I noticed that the packaging looks rustic, and the charging wire resembles a wire from a Chinese toy - thin and flimsy, absolutely does not correspond to the price tag of the watch. On the wrist, the watch looks quite massive and serious, as befits a men's sports watch. The watch is of high quality. There are quick-release latches on the strap, the strap itself is straight, so you can choose it for this watch (unlike other watches of the SPARTAN family) to your taste and color. The software of the watch itself raises questions - you can control the watch both with the help of the touchscreen and with the help of buttons. But with the help of a touchscreen, it is not very convenient to do this, with gloves on, or if the watch is wet, it is completely impossible. There are only 3 buttons, minimizing the number of keys is a long tradition of SUUNTO. Unfortunately, not all watch functions can be controlled with buttons, so, for example, switching between an altimeter and a thermometer without a wheelbarrow will not work - this is an obvious ergonomic miscalculation! The watch only supports the Blue Tooth protocol, which means that you will not be able to connect ANT + sensors. The advantage of ANT+ is that you can connect several devices to one sensor (for example, a watch and a bike computer). The biggest disappointment was that there is no customization option and app store for the watch! What is even more strange is that for watches of the lower AMBIT series, it is possible to develop both their own applications and download using the movescount. Com service, but it is being closed.

Pros
  • - SUUNTO brand; - look cool; - manufacturing quality; - screen.
Cons
  • - lack of extensions and the possibility of customization; - not very well thought out ergonomics; - do not support ANT+ protocol; - lose in functionality to the main competitor - GARMIN.
