 Better than I could have imagined, By

Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
So right off I thought I ordered the Ambit2 without the S, but somehow got the S. I am not disappointed because I also got the heart rate monitor. I would not love this watch as much without the monitor. Here are the just SOME of the Pros:
1) I literally forget I’m wearing it. I do not feel it, it does not rub. 2) You can set up each view you want on a separate screen, and this is done online vs. having to do it on the watch. To see another screen you press one button and it navigates to the next screen. This does not seem like a big deal except using one screen at a time allows for the largest of fonts so you get full vision of what you are trying to track. 3) This watch has apps that can be synchronized from the website to the watch, and the App only applies to the exercise event you tell it to. Of course I use the "Beers burned off" app on EVERY exercise 🙂 4) the watch finds the heart rate monitor in 3 seconds 5) the watch finds GPS in less than five seconds, AND finds GPS in my house. 6) I swim with it every day and it counts strokes and laps, and the GPS continues to work because you can set the signal to every second 7) I wore this watch through two Spartan races under rugged, muddy, and wet conditions and it worked flawlessly. 8) This watch will MAKE you work out because the stats from each event (move) are incredible. I get heart rate, VO2, EPOC, PTE, KCAL etc. 9) I wear it as a regular watch and get complimented 10) My GPS pulse is set to one second and yet the battery is still at 60 percent after five hours If this watch broke tomorrow I would buy another one without hesitation. 0

 Watch This!,
This review is from: Suunto AMbit 2S HR Sport Watch
Suunto makes a whole line of adventure, outdoor watches, the Ambit series in my opinion is the best for all all around outdoors. There are 2 watches – Ambit 2 and Ambit 2S, the quick difference? the S is less expensive (0), smaller, thinner, lighter(.75 oz) (not much but noticeable) BUT has less battery. Battery matters in watches like these. I used the Garmin 405, and i almost gave up on GPS watches, because the thing was so buggy, and the battery was erratic, drained quickly. Garmin Forerunner 405 Wireless GPS-Enabled Sport Watch with USB ANT Stick and Heart Rate Monitor (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Using GPS at 1 second intervals (the amount of time in between each satellite ping) yields 8 hours for the S, but 16 on the Ambit2. Significant difference. Also the Ambit has a barometric altimeter, which will give you much more accurate elevation, also barometric pressure, temperature, and other weather related functions. For 0 more retail the Ambit2 seems like it is worth it. but, i still got the S. My use for the watch, besides 3-4 a year to be over 8 hours of GPS tracking, i went for lighter, smaller, thinner watch, because i wear it everyday on runs. also, to help with battery life issue and why it ranges from 8+ hours on…you can change the intervals from 1S, to 5S, to 1minute (that is a recent software add) and extend the battery. so – both watches are great – the question is do you need GPS tracking > 8 hours at 1 second interval on a consistent basis and/or weather and more accurate elevation information (for example backpacking, i would prefer the ambit2) if so – go for Ambit2, not 2 S. ok – with that out of the way – which again is a big issue, by the way – the other watch to look at in this category is the garmin feenix. Pluses: overall, super watch, really love it and the interface to movescount – if you want to see the interface, you should create a…

I am really happy with this product,
This review is from: Suunto AMbit 2S HR Sport Watch – Red (Electronics)
I am really happy with this product. It works great on the pool for laps as well as open water swims. I also use it as a cycle computer for my bike, I really like how it seamlessly works with my Garmin cadence sensor and power meter. The layout of the bottoms and way they function is very natural and easy to use. Especially the triathlon setting, it’s very smoothe and easy to switch between swimming, biking and running. I’m a very happy customer and would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a training tool that will supply you with tons of data. It’s also just fun to have, hiking kyacking, skiing and climbing are a few of the other activities my family enjoys and it been cool to see the data from those adventures, not for training purposes just for fun 🙂 go and buy one!!! It also look nice on your wrist.
