Information in Action

• Know your training:
• With advanced timing functions of the stopwatch, you are able to record lap and split times of your activity
• Chronometer memory records accurate altitude profile with 10- or 60-s interval; ideal for fast sports
• Adjustable alarm works as an interval reminder
• Accurate altimeter (1-m resolution) makes it possible to measure the vertical performance when jogging, hiking, biking, wandering, climbing etc.
• Know your environment:
• Knowing important factors of the surrounding terrain, such as altitude, ascent/descent rate, compass bearing, weather trends, barometric pressure and degree of slope offers new ways to get more out of the experience
• Remember safety:
• Carrying a compass along is more than practical: it gives safety on a hike and guides you back when jogging in an unknown place or touring in a foreign city
• Barometer with a 2-day memory function and with a barometric graph helps you to forecast weather changes
• The storm alarm warns you when barometric pressure is falling rapidly
• Programmable ascent alarm helps to keep safe climbing speed on the mountains

A Deeper Understanding

The Suunto Activity Manager (SAM) is software that enables a deeper understanding of the recorded data. With SAM, you can visualise the altitude profiles for your routes, analyse and plan your training and keep a training diary. You can also create your own activity reports by adding photos and text to the profiles.
