SUUNTO 9 Peak Sports GPS Watch for Demanding, Performance-Driven Athletes and Adventurers, Black

After the plastic bezel on my Garmin Forerunner broke for a second time in under 2 years, I decided that I wasn't going to pay another $150 for a third refurbished one.This watch has a metal bezel so that won't happen again.After having it now for nearly a month, I've noticed a number of things.• The satellite connection is faster.• The GPS tracking is more accurate.• The heart rate monitor is more accurate (the results are nearly identical to my Polar H10 Chest Strap)• The end of the watch band has a post that keeps it in place against my wrist,• It has a combination of buttons and touch screen• The battery life is on par with Garmin• The app and stats are easier to read and navigate.• It has a much smaller profile against my skinny wrist.Any questions?

Got it to replace my Apple Watch. I love this sleek watch. It does all the regular stuff and also gets me home safely when I’m hiking, every time. Get this watch. Plus it charges faster than any watch. EVER!

GPS does not work or connects. Even with assisted GPS on with latest locational update. Reset the watch multiple times with no luck. Suunto support is horrible. I’ve always owned or had Suunto watches from the Core, X-lander, and Spartan and they are all good watches. Unfortunate that the most expensive watch on their line is the worst. !UPDATE! So I ended up using the online customer service instead of the chat in which I was able to send my watch back and have it replaced. Plus they added 3 more months of warranty. This type of service bumps up the rating.

This is the 3rd watch we buy for all family members … absolutely love all features. Battery life is the best !

I really, really wanted to like this watch, it looked great and solid piece of smartwatch but once I powered it up I noticed a few things right within the few minutes of trying to set it up, my very first impression was, "Wow, for a $600 smartwatch it's awfully slow scrolling through the menus, settings etc.. secondly I noticed the screen was not edge-to-edge, it had a black ring on the edges making the screen viewing smaller and I was expecting sharper images and vivid colors, but no. I also think it came as an open box as if someone else did the same thing, didnt like it and returned it to Amazon and it ended up being shipped to me, it didnt have that right-out-of-box brand new feeling. The watch is heavy, feels tough but honestly I also thought it was clunky in design. Would I pay $600 for it? NO. Would I pay $60 for it? Maybe, at best.

I've had the Skagen Falster 3 for about 2 years and had this watch for a week. I realized now what the best watch supposed to be like. So glad that they came up with a 43mm size - that was my dream for this brand to have - glad to have stumbled on it again.

Apparently I’m dead with a 67% oxygen level and 67 heart rate. This is even with the new update. It’s pretty but it’s useless. Apparently even Suunto knows how bad it is cause you can’t even leave a review on their website. YOU will regret buying this watch. You have to authorize your review from an email from Suunto that never comes. When I called Suunto telling them the Oxygen and Heart rate isn’t reading correctly I was told it’s not medical equipment and just estimates. They should be law have to list it as a novelty item then. When you move your arm it counts as a step. JUNK

Can't say enough about this watch. Does everything and more then I need for hiking, trip planning, tracking, mapping, orienteering, and mountaineering. Very light and sleek with looooong battery life (plus quick charging). I won't go into the mountains without it.
