Review: After owning the Suunto Ambit 2 for around 5 and a half years I thought it was time for an upgrade. The Ambit 2 still works perfectly fine incidentally and has served me well, having zero issues. It also still holds a decent charge too. The Suunto 9 is an awesome watch. Easy to set up, syncs run on my Android phone via bluetooth fine and connects to my computer and syncs to Movescount perfectly. GPS is accurate as long as it's taking readings every second, which is what I use for running. I tested a couple of walks with GPS readings every 10 seconds and that perfectly fine too but if you're running it would have been off, especially as I run quite quick. I can only think that people who say the GPS is very inaccurate have got it set on taking readings every 10 secs or 60 seconds, which gives great battery life but doesn't give as accurate GPS data. You configure all the settings via Movescount.com, which is what I did as soon as I got it, creating my own custom running workout. I wore the watch casually and was using it for running and still got about 2 weeks of use from it which is brilliant. Still had about 18% left so probably could have squeezed a bit more too. Bought a few straps from Amazon too and they're a doddle to change thanks to the quick release mechanism. One criticism if I were to be really picky would be the wrist HR monitor. It's not massively accurate and take it with a pinch of salt but I do use it and I'm glad it's there as it gives you a rough guide and I'm not a fan of the chest HR monitors. All in all an amazing watch. I will always use Suunto as I never have any issues with them and the battery life of their watches is years ahead of other brands. Highly recommended.

Review: The basic functions such as distance, time, etc work fine, and the watch is generally robust. However the apps that go with the Suunto 9 are very very poor and I’d suggest you go for an alternative such as a Garmin. I’m relatively tech savvy but trying to download a route from Movescount (can’t be done from the Suunto app) is ridiculously difficult. Very disappointing.
