bike trailer review Suunto Ambit Heart Rate Monitor
I have the Ambit Silver with HR monitor. I have to admit that the watch is on the pricey side, but I also think you are getting what you pay for. This watch is like buying a nice a car and getting all the bells and whistles (options) that might come with it. If you are the type of person that isn't interested in all the bells and whistles then you can probably save some money and go in another direction. The watch is definitely large, but not overly so. I'm 6'4" 215 lbs and I think the size of the watch is great. I've received numerous compliments/comments on the watch and none have mentioned the size. There is a bit of learning curve on using the watch especially if you are wanting to take full advantage of its plethora of features. That being said, I found the initial setup of the wath to be extremely fast and simple (to include getting online access and an account with Movescount.com). Speaking of Movescount, I've used Nike Plus to track most of runs up to this point, but I must say that for my purposes and preferences the Movescount interface and available information blows Nike away. Anyway, these are just my general impressions...there are numerous other reviewers that have broken down the features, pros/cons, etc.

Excelente reloj! Todas sus funciones son increibles. Es sencillo de usar y todo se baja por internet, en el idioma que prefieras
The best GPS watch in the world in my humble opinion! It is probably a bit expensive but worth every penny indeed.
With this Hart rate monitor and G.P.S. pluses a moves count account that comes with it. Its like having a personal trainer with you every where you go. I travel for my job. I have found the GPS function to be incredibly accurate both in distance and elevation. It also gives you a idea of how long it will take you to recover from you work out. I couldn't be more happy...
An amazing watch, very robust and looks really good. I personally prefer the silver one sine it looks better in reality compared to the black one. The black one with the black display looks completely different from what you see in the pictures and ads.
The GPS works great and fast and you can basically do anything with this watch - exercise, navigate, navigat while exersize, count calories, distance speed pace whatever you want. You can create your own sport type using movescount and program what data you want to see in each screen. This include a chart for altitude or heart rate, up to 3 types of data in each screen.The watch software is updatable through movescount so this watch is going to get even better with updates.
There is one thing which I feel is missing and I wish it will be added in the future - when you run at night or spinning in the dark in the gym you want the light to be on constantly but it is not possible for now.
I think this watch is truelly amazing since it is the first GPS watch which...
1. You can wear on daily basis since it looks really good especially if you have a massive arm(like I do :)
2. Another reason you can wear it daily is the fact that it is water ressistent up to 100 meters unlike some other gps watches like the garmin 405. Actually this the first watch that combines a really effective GPS with serious water ressistance and serious shock ressistance - kudos to suunto. And no - I do not work in suunto.
3. One watch that does everything - exersize, outdoor adventure activities, fast and easy navigation where ever you need it.
4. The first GPS watch which can work for a full month without recharging if you do not use the gps. If you use the gps it still gives you longer batter life then the competitors and it is the only gps watch that can work with one minute gps fix not just one second fix, this allows a lot more gps time in activities which do not require 1 second gps fix like tracking for example.
To summarize I think Suunto have done an amazing work with this watch.
Suunto has done a great job with this one. Just be careful as the face plate scratches easy, and can easily bee seen on the black face. Maybe the silver one will be better
It's easy to use sportwatch. The GPS conectivity is quick and easy. The size of display is right for uneasy moments (when You are running, cycling or moving). The rechargeable lithium battery is a good idea, but, there is no alert when the watch is short-of-battery.
Another point to enhace is the web conectivity to movescount, because, this site is unretrieved when you have got an internet connection by proxy web (an usual practice for working place).
Upgraded from Suunto Quest to Ambit and it's great. A bit pricey and bulky but it works great. It is wearable casually.
