Review on ⌚ SUUNTO 9 GPS Sports Watch - Non-Barometric Model by James Small

This great looking watch was purchased as an upgrade to a Spartan Sport that was purchased exactly a year ago. I was hoping that the Suunto 9 would continue to perform like the Spartan, plus a little more battery life. I'm really disappointed with the accuracy of the open water swim training. Even in performance mode, distance and pace indicators were far from reality. I've tried repairing, updating, recalibrating and still no improvement. I still have a Spartan Sport and a Polar Vantage V, so three of me wore them to my 1K swim workout. Suunto 9 recorded 200m less than other devices! I'm not a very good swimmer, but the last thing I need is a watch that slows my pace down by 15 seconds for every 100m!
