You can increase the battery life by setting a longer GPS interval but this will of course result in less accurate tracking. The watch allows you to set three different GPS intervals which influence the battery life. The GLONASS functionality could drastically increase the GPS accuracy as well as decrease the time required to get a satellite fix.
Suunto watch batteries update#
The current software does not allow GLONASS to operate but an update will come shortly as stated by Suunto. This is the first watch from Suunto which in addition to GPS also supports GLONASS, a Russian version of GPS. Note: Suunto released the Traverse model equipped with Sapphire glass lens in late May 2016. My Suunto Ambit 2 watch (without Sapphire glass lens) got scratched relatively quickly even though I have been using it with a great caution during outdoor activities– wearing it under shirt’s sleeves, gloves etc. This would be indeed great because Sapphire glass provides even better protection against scratches. However, I think that Suunto will also soon release a model with a Sapphire glass lens in addition to the five models listed above which are equipped with mineral glass lenses. It is unusual that the differences between Suunto watches from the same collection are that small. The Amber, Black, White and Graphite model have a silicone strap while the slightly more expensive Slate model, has a textile strap. The watches only differ by color, price and strap material. It has a great elegant design and superb functionality, including a GPS receiver.Īs already mentioned the Traverse Collection consists of five watches. When I had a quick look at the Suunto Traverse specifications and images I realized that this is probably the best watch ever released by Suunto.

In the fall I noticed that the Suunto Traverse has been released. When Suunto released the Essential Collection in March 2015 I was amazed by the design but unfortunately these watches are not equipped with a GPS receiver.
Suunto watch batteries series#
I never particularly liked the design of Ambit series –I was especially bothered by the relatively big antenna sticking out of the watch. As an eager user of Suunto Ambit 2, I wanted a watch that offers similar (or better) functionality but has a more attractive design. I must admit that I have been waiting for quite some time for a new GPS enabled watch from Suunto. Even though these features are similar to the features of Suunto Ambit watches, the Suunto Traverse watches are not replacing the Ambit watches – as stated by Suunto.
Suunto watch batteries Bluetooth#
They are designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need a top-quality timepiece for their adventures and therefore they are equipped with many advanced features such as compass, barometer, Bluetooth chipset, GPS tracking and GPS navigation. These watches offer incredible performance in addition to attractive design. The Suunto Traverse Collection consists of five GPS watches – Suunto Traverse Amber, Black, White, Graphite and Slate. In October 2015 Suunto released the new Traverse Collection.
