Suunto Ambit GPS Watch For Ultra-Marathoners, Mountaineers and Outdoor Endurance Sports

Suunto Ambit GPS Watch is the first true GPS watch for explorers, mountaineers and ultra outdoor athletes.

The Suunto Ambit is what every back country skier, hiker, trail runner and mountain climber has been eagerly waiting for — a watch that combines GPS navigation system, altimeter, 3D compass with advanced heart rate monitoring into a robust instrument for both outdoor and daily use.

What Suunto Ambit Brings To The Table

“This is exactly the kind of product we needed when I set my skiing world record of 331,160 vertical feet in 10 hours", say Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rae Watch Company. He continues, "This type of product should be awesome for mountaineering, ultra-marathon runners, 24 hour mountain bikers and any kind of ultra outdoor sport thanks to its 50 hour battery life and barometric altimeter; the only other watch that comes close is the Garmin fenix."

Outdoor Features Galore

Track way points, navigate and see your location in multiple coordinate systems with this fully functioned GPS. You can even get speed, distance and heart rate for endurance sports making this watch a multifunctional powerhouse. Other features include temperature, track logging, unique 3D Compass and barometric sensor. You'll be informed about weather conditions, altitude and location every step of the way.

Superior Training Functions For Outdoor Athletes

The AMBIT also offers functions for the serious mountain athlete. The patent pending accelerometer fused GPS gives highly responsive speed and pace with Suunto Fused Speed. This means that changes in pace are immediately noted rather than having a delayed response.

Best Back Country and Off The Grid Recharging Solutions

Without question the best remote charging solution for your Suunto Ambit is the Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus Battery Pack and the Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus Mobile Kit. The Guide 10 Plus Battery Pack will re-charge your Suunto Ambit twice, giving you 3 to 5 days of power in GPS mode, while the Guide 10 kit uses a lightweight solar panel to re-charge the battery pack over and over to provide power for smart phones, watches and any portable electronics, like flashlights.

Complete Heart Rate Monitor Functionality and Measured Recovery

Heart rate monitoring with Peak Training Effect keeps you in your optimum training zone and Recovery Time will tell you when you’re fully recovered. After a tough day in the mountains the GPS will navigate you home where you can transfer your data for analysis on Movescount.com, the free online training software developed for Suunto by Training Peaks.

Mountain and Everyday Exploration

The AMBIT is housed in a robust casing and has an enhanced battery lifetime of up to 50 hours in GPS mode. "This is nearly triple the battery life in GPS mode of any other watch instrument that we sell" states Squire. Plus, this watch is water resistant to 100 meters so it doesn't mind getting wet.

Ultra Runners Rejoice

Here is what six-time World Mountain Running Champion John Wyatt has to say about the new Suunto Ambit: ”As a trail runner and mountain athlete, what I need in a watch is a heart rate monitor, speed & distance, and altimeter. The Ambit has all these features in one unit which is really exciting. One of the main problems for endurance athletes is battery life of conventional GPS sports watches so the promise of 50 hours is a big step forward."

Ideal For Cycling and Running

Fused Speed technology provides a more accurate pace and the fact that the Ambit works with cycling cadence sensors and provides altitude makes it ideal for cycling. For runners it hooks up with a Suunto foot pod to provide you with cadence in addition to speed, distance, heart rate and elevations which allows all of the critical data runners rely upon.

Personalization

Many GPS watches and heart rate monitors don't allow you to customize the display to show the data you want, where you want it. Not so with the Suunto Ambit as it allows you loads of flexibility in customization.
