Suunto launches its new top-of-the-line multisport heart rate monitor / sports watch, Suunto 9 Baro. It is a perfect GPS watch for all types of outdoor sports for those athletes looking for maximum reliability and accuracy.
And if to these virtues 2 we add a battery life of 120 hours with GPS on, we are facing one of the best high-end heart rate monitors & sports watches on the market.
This is the natural replacement for the Suunto Spartan Ultra that has been tweaked by adding features highly demanded by the Suunto community.
Suunto was very clear that one of the main demands of its users is the battery life. In this Suunto 9 they have developed a battery life management system with smart reminders to ensure the watch maximizes its performance.
It is true that this Suunto 9 that comes to replace as we said the Suunto Spartan Ultra does not come with too many aesthetic changes (nor did it need to our understanding) and the Finnish brand has continued to bet on incorporating specific features and features for sport, something that his faithful followers appreciate.
Suunto maintains its philosophy by including new features that are aimed at ultra-distance sports and that we had not seen in other brands.
Suunto has defined 3 battery modes (Performance, Endurance and Ultra) that work in a series of duration ranges from 25 hours to 120 hours of recording time with GPS tracking. But for further customization, it allows you to create your own battery life ranges by adding or removing functionalities. In addition, you can create custom battery modes to suit the athlete's needs. One of the features we liked is that the Suunto 9 is able to predict the battery life before you start your sports session. And during your physical activity if you see that it is not enough, you can switch to another mode to extend the duration.
In addition to the battery modes, Suunto 9 uses smart reminders and helps you make sure you have enough battery for your next adventure. Some reminders are preventive and are based, for example, on your activity history to ensure that you have a full charge for your next outing. If the watch detects low battery level during an exercise, it automatically suggests you to switch to a different battery mode.
The Suunto 9 is primarily intended for long distance sports but that doesn't mean it can't be compatible with other types of modes. To give a practical example, a Jeep Cheroky can be used perfectly in the mountains but you can use it on urban routes. With the Suunto 9 suvcede the same thing.
It incorporates up to 80 sport modes and includes its wrist-based heart rate measurement system developed by Valencell.
The watch comes with full GPS route navigation, sunrise and sunset times, storm alarm among many other features already incorporated in the Suunto Spartan Ultra with the latest updates.
The Suunto 9 also allows you to attach a chest strap to make heart rate measurement more effective.
Suunto 9 is compatible with the new Suunto app that keeps track of your training, daily activity and sleep. It also allows you to share your training logs and interact with others in the Suunto app community.
Suunto 9 allows you to pair with the new Suunto app to track your activity and sleep more closely. it allows you to easily share your achievements and connect with other athletes in the Suunto community. The connection to your cell phone via notifications will allow you to receive incoming calls, messages and incoming alerts on the watch. The Suunto app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Premium materials and construction complete this high-performance watch designed and manufactured in Finland. Stainless steel buttons and bezel, sapphire crystal glass and a solid casing are combined with a durable soft silicone strap that fits comfortably. Suunto 9 will be available from June 26 in two different colors: black and white. The RRP of the watch is 599 €.
