Favorite Running Watch - Great multi-sport functionsMy favorite running watch! I was split between Garmin and Suunto, given that Garmin is so much more popular in the US. I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with this watch. I've logged hundreds of miles on foot and found the GPS was incredibly accurate. I even ran a trail half marathon in heavy woods in deep mountain valleys and the watch gave me it's mile marker beep within 10 feet of the sign each time! It tracks cadence from the wrist, so it's not the most accurate but it's close enough. The workout builder is a pretty cool tool (through the app) to get more out of your runs than a simple start and stop. I also do some pool swimming, hiking, and skiing, which the Ambit3 Peak also handles quite nicely, but don't feel quite equipped to give a thorough review of those features. I should note that I do use the HR chest strap in the pool and it works just as good as on dry land.5Still New, Has Bugs.I purchased this as a replacement for my old Garmin Forerunner 305 that I used to train for tri's and half marathons with. I went with this model for the versatility and application in damn near every adventure imaginable. I primarily use it to track my CrossFit workouts and running. It is sleek and has a tactical look, which appeals to the veteran in me. It measures time, distance, elevation, temperature, pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate. Has a digital compass, altimeter, storm alarm, barometer and can receive push notification from my phone. Every workout I do is logged to an app on my phone and then displayed on a website that allows me to view about 20-30 different parameters of my activity. And all of that is really just the beginning. Now, don't get me wrong, I love this watch. I fu**ing love it. But there have been numerous issues with its performance. Let's start simple: The storm alarm has alerted me to one storm since I've owned the watch. It has missed about a dozen. The one storm it actually alarmed on, the storm had already hit and was leaving. Not a great alarm in my eyes. Next: the push notifications and bluetooth connectivity absolutely suck. I was excited to have my texts and calls display on my watch, so I could determine if the inconvenience of retrieving my phone from my pocket was worth the effort. This feature only works about 40% of the time. It would lose the connectivity with my phone about six to seven times a day with no explainable reason. The phone would be in my pocket, and I would pull it out and see I had missed calls or messages, that my phone did not display. Alternatively, there would be alerts pending on my watch that were already cleared from my phone. The recent firmware update did not seem to alleviate this issue much at all, either. The action buttons are irritating, as I am constantly stopping and lapping my workouts mid routine from the button being depressed when I am doing a pushup, ring dip or handstand. I don't really know of any way to solve this issue, other than put the action buttons during exercise on the left hand side of the watch so I don't press them anymore. Or at least make the buttons user programmable, so I can do this, and a left handed wearer can do the opposite. Battery life is a complete joke. This was rated at 30days on "Time Only" mode. This meant to say, that when it is only used for telling time, the battery would last for a month. Doubtful. From the start, I keep the time, activity monitor, elevation monitor and push alerts active. For the first two charge cycles, it lasted like this for about 15-18 days before I was forced to recharge. Now, without the push alerts and elevation monitor, I am lucky to get 10 days out of a charge. I am currently on day six and the battery level show 21%. I thought it just needed calibration, so I ran the battery until the point of failure, with no change. I'm doing less with my watch and getting less result for it. Last gripe: the heart rate strap. This piece of garbage needs to be scrapped and redesigned, PRONTO. It comes as two separate pieces, an actual strap with sensors and the logic board and memory chip that snaps into the front of the strap. This itself is aggravating, since you can only buy replacements as the pair anyway. The strap is wearing out after a month, and I will be forced to purchase another strap with sensor chip to replace it. Waste of money and materials. The snap-in sensor is a horrible idea, because it denies a streamline and sleek profile for the sensor. You have a strap, and a button that protrudes from the chest like Iron Man. Not to mention, doing CrossFit, I have snagged the sensor and unsnapped it multiple times mid-activity, losing my heart rate coverage. The strap is flimsy and soft, and as soon as you put it on it rolls up into a string and cuts into your skin. It has actually proven painful in some cases. Now it's just plain falling apart. Thankfully, I can pair my watch to any third party heart rate strap, which I will be researching and selecting soon. Suunto: Fix this pile of crap ASAP. And fix my battery and bluetooth connectivity as well.4outstanding ultra trail running watch--very accurate GPS even high in the Rocky Mountains (up down, up down, up down)--easy to operate buttons even with gloves on in the middle of the night--battery life close to mfg specs for the highest accuracy GPS--easy bluetooth connection to the phone for data transfer after the runs--easy to read on the run--I love that I can set the fields of data I want to see--and once you learn where they are in the toggle order, it's awesome--didn't take long to do that--I love getting to see altitude easily as well as distance and pace and time and and and ... all on my large easy-to-read watch face--unfortunately rather large for my medium size female wrist--the size is fine, but it bangs up against my distal ulna (wrist bone) when not wearing gloves, etc.--sapphire glass/bezel still scratches when you face plant in really grainy sandy hardback dirt with a few rocks in it... but it didn't break the glass--yay!--I still need help with the moves count website--getting the units of measure in the realm for ultrarunning speeds rather than road speeds, etc... but I'll just contact support and am confident they'll help me figure it out... it may be better on the computer rather than my phone app.5It's big, bulky, heavy and unsubtle. It's also a fantastic GPS watch.Couple of months ago I decided to look for a replacement for my 2-year-old TomTom Runner. It was a good watch and did its job just fine, but TomTom simply did not develop the whole platform/ecosystem beyond basic hardware and a bare bones web site to analyze workouts. At the same time, for the last 3-4 months I have begun to use swimming and road cycling as cross-training complements. Neither of those activities can be accurately measured with my old watch, so the decision was made I needed a newer, better watch.After that I spent nearly a month doing heavy research in the matter -- not exaggerating, I was spending 2-3/day reading reviews, comparing prices, reading forums, etc. After all that madness, I narrowed the field to the Ambit3 and Fenix3, which are head-to-head competitors, almost feature per feature.In the weeks leading to my purchase, however, it had become apparent that the Fenix3 had unresolved serious issues. Given there was literally zero response from Garmin and wasn't clear if the bug was firmware fixable or if it was a hardware flaw, I simply lost interest. I'm not one to drop a few Franklins in the hopes a developer will be able to fix a critical bug (which, as far as I know, they have not officially acknowledged).At any rate, once I had decided on the Ambit3, the decision became about which version (Peak or regular) and color (black, blue, etc.). After deliberating about it for a day or so, I decided on the Peak version.First impressions: the watch is huge! Definitely not subtle and quite substantial. I'm ~ 5'10'', 180lbs and it looks rather big on my wrist. At the same time you can tell it's built like a tank and could take an unreasonable amount of abuse with no issues :) That said, you can tell the designers at Suunto at least _tried_ to make that behemoth more presentable and easy to carry around. Gentle curves throughout, the watch itself arches to contour the round shape of a wrist and very comfortable and snug straps.The initial setup was super easy. A guided wizard-like steps and menus make it trivial to have your watch ready to go in about a minute.*** NOTE: BEFORE YOU TRY TO PAIR WITH YOUR PHONE, UPGRADE YOUR Ambit3's FIRMWARE VIA USB CABLE AND MOVESCOUT. IT WILL NOT PAIR CORRECTLY OTHERWISE ***This watch has an amazing level of customization and a ton of features you can tweak pretty much to your heart's desire, but you can only do most of that via the mobile app. As of this writing, they have yet to release the Android version of the companion app, so, if you own an Android device, you might want to hold on for a few weeks before forking the money on this watch. The iOS app itself looks good, and, again, is the main means of taking full advantage of your watch's features. The movescout website is fantastic, IMO. I've seen workouts in Training Peaks, Strava, MapMyFitness, etc. none of them are as clean and well presented as Movescout is. I'm very happy with it.The GPS tracking for running/cycling is really great and very accurate (tested in measured paths). I have not yet tried it in unmarked trails, so cannot comment on that capability. It supports any Bluetooth 4.0+ devices, my Sosche hear monitor, for instance paired immediately and w/o issues. Another nifty thing is the "smart-ish" watch capabilities. While paired with your phone, it will show notifications as they come in. This is such useful feature, at least for me. 95% of my runs and training are during the week and in or near the city, so it's great to be able to do that while at the same time see who's calling or texting or that email from work and you can make a decision whether it's important or urgent enough to stop and reply (SPOILER: it almost never is). Note that you can't reply back or control your music via the Ambit3 like a full-fledged smart watch can do. But just having the notification covers almost 100% of my use case, so +1 from me.There are also a plethora of "apps" in movescout you can "download" to your watch and if you are technologically inclined, you can even create one of your own.The temperature/thermometer is invariably ~ 10F higher than it should be. Haven't yet found a good way to calibrate that, but I'd say it's the only sore spot I have.The compass works great and since it's not GPS based can be reliably used at all times. Calibrating it is quite easy.The Altimeter/Baromoter is an interesting animal. It can be hard to calibrate if you aren't at sea level and with good weather to create a reference. You can use GPS assisted altitude, but that sorta defeats the purpose of having those sensors on board.Overall, I'm quite happy with my decision and I highly recommend it. My only warning would be not to expect to use it as your "every day" watch since as previously stated it's quite substantial.5Awesome watch with tremendous utility.I've enjoyed the watch for the past week and have been impressed with the watch's utility. I've used it for running and cycling thus far. The fact that the watch links up to movescount.com and their app makes it easy to keep track of and plan workouts. It's extremely comfortable and not nearly as bulky as I assumed it would be. I wear it daily whether or not I'm working out.The watch displays your speed, altitude, location, and temperature among other stats. The only thing it doesn't display is heart rate, unless you purchase the separate heart rate monitor.What I like about the watch is that you can download trail maps and other routes (cycling, running, mountain biking, etc.) straight to your watch from movescount.com, so that you can navigate in remote areas when without cell service. I plan to use it for hiking and trekking.UPDATE: Almost a year later, I've continued to use this watch on a daily basis. It functions flawlessly. Still would highly recommend.5Need to use Movescount appThe description should tell you that settings are done thru the Movescount app rather than on the watch. Intervals start at 10 min, which is a much longer interval time than I am used to, and the only way to access that setting is thru Movescount. I had made all these settings, finally got Movescount downloaded and synced (and I am constantly having to restart my phone to keep the synch), and it reset some of my settings (12 hour time rather than 24 hour and metric rather than imperial measurements). I have an android phone. The watch is heavier and thicker than what I had expected. BUT I got it for the longer battery life, to show me pace and distance and total time. I think once I get used to it I will love it. I have not made it all the way thru the users manual yet. I have only taken 2 short runs with it.4Solid gos watch with some really buggy featuresGood watch if you're looking track your progress such as running, cycling and hiking. I use it for cycling and mountaineering which it gives me accurate results of how fast of gone and the elevation. 3 issues I have with this watch: storm alert is absolutely useless. Everytime I turn it on it goes off in like 5 minutes even though it's clear as day outside. Temperature readings are way off. Usually when the watch is off it gives accurate readings, but as soon as you put it back on the temperature shoots up a good 10 degrees higher than it is because of your body heat. If my body heat is going to affect the watch, why bother putting in a temp gauge? Lastly, the step counter and calories burned are completely off. It just keeps counting calories and steps even when you don't have the watch on. If you're looking for a reliable gps watch that records your moves and tracks back everything you've done with good accuracy, along with a solid compass and bread crumb trail, this watch is great. If you're looking to count steps and calories lost then don't even bother with this. Get a smart watch or shoot, even an app if you wanna track that. Even though this watch does what I want it to do, I expect everything that's advertised to me to work properly, and so far a good portion of features don't work the way the should.3Battery life not suited to Ultra events.Once again Suunto stretch the truth with the battery life on this watch. Max GPS setting with no beeps and easy sight of the sky gets only 17 hours on a brand new watch. Support tells me the 20 hours is only an estimate and can be achieved in the right conditions. Although we could not recreate those conditions. I tried their reset trick or running the watch till battery is dead and then giving a 24 hour charge. Bla bla all of that was BS.It does not give the 20 hours as advertised is the bottom line here. Otherwise a nice watch with 17 hours battery life so better than the SPORT version but still not good enough for a slow ultra runner.2The best GPS watch for long distance runnersYou will love this watch if you value battery time, speed to connect to satellite GPS signal and lots of bells and whistles/ability to customize. I am impressed that you can actually select Apps from the Website interface and have very useful data displayed on your watch (eg, expected finish time for your marathon based on your average pace). The downside for some owners is that there is so much complexity to this watch that you may need to devote a fair bit of time to really using it to its full potential. I also would say that the PC/Bluetooth interface (called Movescount) is less intuitive in my opinion than the Garmin or Polar interfaces. Final point is that this is a large watch with a big display. Makes it easy to read but certainly not practical/fashionable for normal walk around wearing. It is pretty comfortable and I find it lighter and easier on my wrist than the Garmin 310xt. I own and have used both the new Polar v800 and the Garmin 620 and 310xt and I would say that this Suunto watch is my favorite by far since I run a lot of long distances (marathons and ultras) and battery life and gps signal strength is important. Garmin is my next favorite watch since it is so easy to use out of the box and keeps a good signal, but its battery capacity is lacking. I thought I would have loved thePolar v800 but it turns out that it's battery life is not nearly as good as the Suunto watch and it lost its signal frequently and my repeated attempts to contact Polar on this point have literally been ignored.5Fenix 2 vs Suunto Ambit 3 PeakIf you want a GPS watch for trail running and training this is it. I also own the Fenix 2 watch and on paper the Fenix 2 looks like the winner but after 6 months of crashing, losing tracks and two races with the gps losing signal I am DONE with it. I have had the Ambit 3 for about 2 months now and its flawless. Would I like some of the features the Fenix 2 has that this watch doesnt? Sure, but at the end of the day the watch is really much more reliable and accurate.5
