Suunto 5 Peak In-Depth Review from freeamfva's blog

Suunto 5 Peak In-Depth Review Suunto’s just revamped their existing Suunto 5 multisport GPS watch with the new slimmer and more stylish Suunto 5 Peak. This follows in the footsteps of the Suunto 9 Peak last summer, in terms of cleaning up the external design of the watch while offering a smattering of new software and hardware features. The main appeal of the Suunto 5 series is that it’s essentially a gateway drug to a higher-end multisport watch without the price tag. Meaning it has virtually all the same software features as Suunto’s top-end Suunto 9 series, but skips on a barometric altimeter, touchscreen and has lesser but still plenty of battery life – clocking in at up to 100 hours of GPS recording time (in a reduced recording rate).Get more news about Super fine peek Sensor Cable,you can vist our website! The Suunto 5 Peak adds the new wireless firmware updater option as well as the aforementioned Tour mode with 100-hour battery life. It also carries with it the slate of new features that came to the existing Suunto 5 last summer when they were added to the Suunto 9 Peak, these included music controls, additional SuuntoPlus apps such as Ghost Runner & Burner, Snap to Route, and Android phone pre-defined replies. Said differently, this is mostly a cosmetic hardware change – but one that’s welcomed by myself and probably many others. Plus, the price is the same, making it an ideal budget triathlon watch. With that – I’ve been testing it for about a month now, putting it through its paces in hikes, swims, 7-hour rides, runs, and plenty more. So we’ll dig into all that data as well as my daily usage thoughts down below. As usual, this watch is a media loaner, and it’ll go back to Suunto. This review is not sponsored (nor does any company get to preview anything I review), and I don’t take any advertiser money from any companies I review. And as regular readers know, if something is crap, I’m gonna tell it brutally like it is – no matter the brand. Once this unit goes back, I’ll go out and get my own for any future testing needs.
