Suunto, the leading outdoors wrist-top computer manufacturer, has launched the Sunto Ambit GPS Watch, the ideal GPS watch for outdoors adventurers and the Suunto Ambit GPS HRM Watch, the ideal watch for the serious outdoors athlete.
The Suunto Ambit is what every backcountry skier, hiker, trail runner and mountain climber has been eagerly waiting for — a watch that combines a GPS navigation system, altimeter, 3D compass with the option of advanced heart-rate monitoring to produce a robust outdoors instrument for mountain and everyday use.
The Suunto Ambit is available in black and silver and comes with or without a heart rate belt. It will become globally available in March 2012 in selected outdoor stores.
With Ambit's full-featured GPS, the user can choose waypoints to navigate with and see their location in multiple coordinate systems. The Ambit boasts a host of other features including temperature, track logging, unique 3D Compass and barometric sensor. All these keep you informed of your location, altitude and weather conditions on your adventures.
The Ambit also offers functions for the serious mountain athlete. The patent-pending accelometer fused GPS gives highly responsive speed and pace with Suunto FusedSpeed. Heart-rate monitoring with Peak Training Effect will keep you within your optimimum training zone and Recovery Time will tell you when you’re fully recovered for your next adventure. And after a hard session in the hills, the GPS will guide you home where you can upload your data for analysis on Movescount.com.
The Ambit is housed in a robust Built-To-Last casing and has an enhanced battery lifetime of up to 50 hours in GPS mode. True to Suunto’s heritage in dive instruments, it is water resistant to 100 metres. Upgrades are available through Movescount.com.
Jonathan Wyatt, six-time world mountain running champion, says:
”As a trail runner and mountain athlete, what I need in a watch is a heart rate monitor, speed & distance, and altimeter. The Ambit has all these features in one unit which is really exciting. One of the main problems for endurance athletes is battery life of conventional GPS sports watches so the promise of 50hrs is a big step forward."
"Fused speed technology also gives a more accurate pace which is vital for anyone serious about their running. Being able to pair it and use it with all the existing PODs and comfort belts is another big plus point for me. This means one watch can be used for all my activities like mountain biking, road cycling, trail and mountain running, cross country skiing and ski mountaineering."
"Knowing that the Ambit is built for the mountains and will survive whatever I or the elements throw at it also sets it apart. Being able to personalise the displays of the watch, download updates and analyse the data on Movescount.com all help to make the Ambit an awesome product for mountain athletes.”
”The Ambit is everything the outdoor athlete could want in a watch,” comments Jari Ikäheimonen, brand manager at Suunto. ”It’s a unit you can trust. With its GPS and superior functions, the Ambit takes outdoor instruments to a new level. It’s a serious watch packed within a sleek but robust casing. It is the GPS for Explorers.”
