Review on 🌍 Ultimate GPS Performance Tracker: SUUNTO Ambit3 Peak HR Running GPS Unit by Mark Powell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Rugged on-the-go watch with some really buggy features

A good watch if You want to track your progress, e.g. B. running, cycling and hiking. I use it for cycling and mountaineering and it gives me accurate results on how fast I'm going and at what altitude. I have 3 problems with this watch: The storm alarm is completely useless. Every time I turn it on, it turns off after about 5 minutes even though it's clear day outside. The temperature display is switched off. The watch normally gives accurate readings when it's off, but as soon as you put it back on, the temperature rises a good 10 degrees warmer than your body heat. If my body heat affects the watch, why use a temperature sensor? Finally, the pedometer and calorie consumption will be completely disabled. It simply counts calories and steps even if you don't wear a watch. If you're looking for a reliable GPS watch that will record your movements and track everything you've done with good accuracy, as well as a reliable compass and breadcrumb tracker, this watch is great. If you want to count steps and calories lost, then don't even bother. Buy a smartwatch or take a picture, even an app if you want to track it. While this watch does what I want it to do I expect everything advertised to me to work properly and so far a majority of the features are not working properly.

Pros
  • Connect an Ambit3 Peak to your smartphone to sync your activities, set up on the go and see calls and notifications on the watch
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
