its usability and the information it provides
The quality of the lighting is very good
manufacturing quality and its solidity
easy test for any device
The activity summary is very complete
good and easy to use
a polished steel bezel and mineral glass
distance everything seems perfectly aligned in all five models

far too many models to choose from
rear case-mounted heart rate monitors
The straps angle down sharply and wear snug on the wrist
the advertising for this watch is a little misleading as well
it s still not as accurate as a chest strap-based sensor
customise an existing one on the fly
Screen changes are a little ponderous
no countdown timer or alarms
Garmin a turquoise
The touch screen is not perfect
You are using an outdated browser
The heart rate feedback was slightly more complicated
You cannot customize data fields without adding a new sport mode
HR accuracy having some issues when my arm was soaked from rain or sweat
no option to silence notifications during the night
isn't too attractive and is sluggish
the weirdly-placed buttons
low-power modes
Spartan Sport does NOT have these features
UPThere is no model up from the Spartan Ultra
charging cord and a supplemental battery pack
wrist HR algorithm is confusing HR with Cadence and causing
have thin wrists and often run in cold conditions
two low accuracy GPS modes record extremely poor data
the screen is disappointing
no way to see the recorded value
The phone app often fails to sync workouts or settings
The data is confusing
Ultra far too thick and bulky for daily use
unreliable hardware
calibration is a little tedious
A rather uninspiring display of total steps
Extreme moments of bouncing signal however are infrequent
it still feels incomplete
The trail starts off in sparse trees
this functionality is not available in the Spartan
down by incomplete functionality and a rather hefty price tag
you have to log in to the browser version
the Find Back navigation feature could literally save your life
the displays are pretty perfunctory
barometers fall when low-pressure systems are coming in
only shows a few select pieces of data for each sport
too high when running
the focus of what is primarily a sports watch
too high during activities or it just stopped tracking entirely
it worked - the Suunto never tracked my heart rate correctly
Suunto outshines the competition with its navigation capabilities
hasn t seen much development over the years
too many functions to list in this article
This site uses Akismet to reduce spam
bothers me is not being precise with the steps counter
using a chest strap
GPS accuracy was also a bit inconsistent
It does not store any personal data
the only options are Manual Move and Not Specified Sport
This was a bit disappointing
Spartan Ultra optical sensor
lacks a barometric altimeter
Suunto does not encourage the use of this feature
it lacks a button to illuminate the screen
lot of this functionality would be difficult to manage on a mobile device
you cannot deactivate or activate it directly from the watch
