Snag this before I change my mind... been going back and forth on selling because Suunto's latest OTA update made this watch substantially better. Read the internet reviews on this watch and then understand the following:
1) Suunto has released updates which make the watch very snappy. Not laggy at all.
2) I originally wanted to sell this because unlike Garmin you can't customize the display fields and there are a limited number of watch faces. Suunto has since released updates with many more faces and the ability to significantly customize the displays. Suunto even calls the data fields "complications", which as a WIS makes me happy.
3) One thing reviewers seem to overlook is how much better the real time navigation is on this watch vs. Garmin. When you turn your body this watch updates your orientation on the map significantly faster than Garmin. Night and day difference and much more helpful when navigating.
4) Suunto is committed to keeping their watches in service. Every update has made this watch better and better. I have much more confidence in this watch working five years from now than a Garmin.
Really excellent build quality with a titanium design and sapphire crystal. Excellent condition, some minor signs of wear, probably the biggest is evidence of strap changes on the underside of the lugs. All the sensors work great. I find the data is very accurate... I've compared against dedicated sensors (pulsometer, barometer, etc) and it's excellent.
Battery life is stupid good. I've never needed to charge the watch, the only time I've put it on the charger was to add maps.
BTW adding maps is a PIA because you need to leave the watch connected to the charger for hours... but the nice thing is you don't need to be there. I found that if I wanted to download a couple of states I could do it overnight and they were ready to go when I woke up.
I purchased this watch directly from Suunto in September 2023. I'm selling because I'm trying to reduce the amount of data in my life. Probably going to regret it but wouldn't be the first time I've regretted selling something.
Includes many extra straps. My favorite are the Velcro straps which are extremely comfortable. The OEM band is not available (it irritated my wrist so I included it in another watch sale)... but the replacement I bought off Amazon is softer and feels better. Lots of options for you
First person to offer $450 gets it.
