Review on SUUNTO 5: A Sleek and Portable GPS Sports Watch Offering 24/7 Activity Tracking and Wrist-Based Heart Rate by Kelly Noonan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Durable watch - training and fitness

I love the watch. Size and weight are really good. This could improve heart rate monitoring, although I've tried it a number of ways and it's generally accurate, there's some lag, ie when going from low intensity to high intensity quickly (like sprinting or climbing). hills). ) it does not immediately detect the change in heart rate. Also, I generally agree with the screen brightness comments that others have noted. Everything is fine during the day and at night, not so much in moderate lighting. I think part of the problem is that most people have smartphones, so we compare screen brightness to them and it's not the same. It looks more like a Kindle in terms of screen design and brightness. However, of all the watches I've tried, this one is the most durable.

Pros
  • Solid workmanship
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
