Matching profile to activity

The Altimeter profile should be selected when your outdoor activity involves changes in altitude (e.g. hiking in hilly terrain).

The Barometer profile should be selected when your outdoor activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. soccer, sailing, canoeing).

To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your activity. You can either let Suunto Ambit2 decide a suitable profile for the activity, or choose a profile yourself.

NOTE:

You can define the profile as part of the sport mode settings in Movescount, or in your Suunto Ambit2.
