Suunto Ambit in GearJunkie

The Suunto Ambit recently received a great review from the team over at The GearJunkie.

"The watch offers some unique features. The best new feature may be the accuracy of the speed data. The Ambit combines its GPS data with its accelerometer data, which leads to a more accurate reading of actual speed."

The review discusses how intuitive the Movescount software is, mentioning how it links and uploads data from the watch to the computer quickly and easily. 

Another Ambit highlight is the battery life.

"Another feature that makes this watch shine is its monster battery life. It will record GPS data for up to 60 hours — the longest on the market for this product type by about 300%."

The review doesn't stop there. Ambit's patented Fusedspeed technology works to detect speed changes quickly, keeping you on track to your fitness goal. 

"You get quicker response to speed changes, as well as a continuous speed-reading even during periods when the GPS signal is temporarily lost. Suunto calls this technology FUSEDSPEED, and it’s an industry first to our knowledge. Smart."
