Suunto Ambit3 Run - Pros & Cons

slimmed-down version is much easier to navigate
some very nice touches in the recovery meter and the activity tracker
to immense depths
GPS-enabled and solidly built
battery life is decent - about a week in normal use
Easy to read in all light conditions Very intuitive set up and operation
The heart rate monitor is also incredible
The display is clear and easy to see
provides great accuracy and features
interface was super easy to use and quite easy to navigate
data itself is good
Create workout and transfer to watch fine
it performed fairly well
watch should work fine
recovery chart functionality and found that well implemented
Backcountry & Competitive Cyclist offer free 2-day shipping
the speed (and distance) readings are very accurate
Top Speed an Sprint readings are accurate
some thoughts on the recovery features - sleep and quick
very good quality GPS and a very good training tool during
app are functional and generally user-friendly
reliable and durable watch
The feel in both cases is very good
fit for the bravest journeys
alert for Cadence is really useful and one of my favorite features
excellent GPS Accuracy
great functionality and reasonable GPS accuracy

it tends to favour chunky 'outdoor' watches
somewhat heavy when compared to run specific lights
headlamp on a bright sunny day
many GPS watches are unable to do this
It will not work with other 3rd party straps that have memory
POD calibration data is lost
GPS reception is lost every stroke and has to be regained every stroke
lack the full Brady Bunch of colors at my disposal
me you currently cannot pair this watch with an Android device
tracking software is a bit annoying

ascent and descent did appear to be inaccurate on the watch
Ultrarunning in particular often translates to long miles over many hours in backcountry areas
unable to scroll to see longer messages)
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
Highline Running
the pressure change to gain/loss in elevation
Highline Running Adentures To ensure altimeter accuracy
not constantly reverting back to the factory setting
the watch frequently reverts to factory settings)
it will be posted on the site
watch doesn t actually track anything other than the aforementioned sports and hiking
the step counter was largely useless
The accuracy is not commercial-grade
watches without altimeters can miss out on vertical movement
The receiver is smaller and not easily removed from the belt
The technology is not there yet
missing must-have features or functionality
none of those three have an altimeter
lack of vibrating warnings
on-screen messages and sounds
the Android system of this watch is not finished
Support for external cycling sensors
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
Ambit3 does not have a vibration alert
does a poor job of estimating pace from its internal accelerometer
calibration is a little tedious
Errors in GPS tend to cause the display of current pace to swing wildly
has no alerts for when your Cadence is too low
