Review on ๐ŸŒ Ultimate GPS Performance Tracker: SUUNTO Ambit3 Peak HR Running GPS Unit by Brian Gordon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Battery life is not good for ultra events.

Once again, Suunto sugarcoats the truth about this watch's battery life. The maximum GPS setting with no beeps and a slight view of the sky gives only 17 hours on the new watch. Support tells me that 20 hours is just an estimate and can be achieved under the right conditions. Although we have not been able to restore these conditions. I tried their reset trick or let the watch run until the battery died and then charged it for 24 hours. Blah blah blah it was all BS. There's no 20 hours as advertised, that's the gist here. Otherwise a good watch with 17 hours of battery life, better than the SPORT version but still not enough for a slow ultramarathoner.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Bad experience
