Get immediate information on your effort and pace your run by measuring your power when running. Evaluate how tough a certain running course is by using the Stryd power meter, compatible with all Suunto Ambit3 and Spartan watches. Measuring running power is an efficient way to run at a certain level, as it is more accurate than following heart rate or speed.
All Suunto Ambit3 and Spartan family GPS watches use FusedSpeed™, a patented technology for accurate, responsive speed readings. The speed indication is a unique combination of GPS and accelerator readings.
The GPS signal is adaptively filtered based on wrist acceleration, giving more accurate readings at steady running speeds and quicker responses to changes in speed. For example if you run through a tunnel or in a dense forest where GPS signal is temporarily unavailable, the accelerometer fills in the gaps.
Whether you want to develop yourself as a runner or just stay fit, your Suunto GPS sports watch is your training partner. Measure your heart rate, average running cadence and pace to predict your finishing times. Monitor your effort with 1 or 5 km/mi autolaps.
Keep a diary of your weekly running time and distance to reach your goal, and get a deeper view of your training by analyzing all the data on Suunto Movescount.
