Ogden, UT – July 11, 2014—Suunto,
a global leader in sports precision instruments, is launching its new
Suunto Connected Family product line. Available to users in September,
the Connected Family line is Suunto’s first Bluetooth® Smart compatible
offering and consists of a new Suunto Movescount App, Suunto Ambit3 Peak
and Suunto Ambit3 Sport GPS watches and the Suunto Smart Sensor for
heart rate monitoring.
The unique idea behind the first Suunto Ambit GPS watch, first launched in 2012, was to combine advanced functionality for outdoor adventures with advanced functionality for performance training. The new Suunto Ambit3 Peak and Suunto Ambit3 Sport GPS watches continue to build on this tradition by allowing users to track their sports, adventures and everyday moves with the watches. In addition, with the free Suunto Movescount App, users can upload exercises, change watch settings, get notifications, enrich, relive and share sports moments and adventures wirelessly while on the go through a smartphone. Users can also simply use the new app as a stand-alone tool for tracking and sharing their adventures.
Suunto Movescount App for iPhone and iPad
The new, free Suunto Movescount App is the heart of the Suunto Connected Family and is a stand-alone app that enables easy tracking and sharing of activities, regardless of whether or not the user is a Suunto watch owner. The app will first be available for iPhone and iPad, and can be downloaded from the App Store at the beginning of September. Availability details for the Android version will be announced at a later date.
Enrich, relive and share the experience
With the Suunto Movescount App, users can take photos that
show real-time speed, distance or other details. The app also offers a
great way to showcase adventures to friends through social media. With
one tap, users can turn any move into a “Suunto Movie” – an animation of
the journey visualized with a 3D map, where highlights and photos of
the adventure are embedded along the track. Suunto Movies can even be
created from moves done in the past, as long as they are stored in
Movescount. To see an example, check out the Suunto Movie of Kilian
Jornet’s recent record ascent of Denali here.
Smart Mobile Connection for Suunto Ambit3 watches
When paired with any Ambit3 watch, the Suunto Movescount
App turns the GPS watch into a multifunctional smart watch. You can use
the watch to keep time and GPS data updated while on the go, wirelessly
upload moves, or use the Movescount App to change watch settings on the
spot. Users can also receive call and text notifications on the watch,
meaning it is no longer necessary to stop training in order to see who
is calling. When cycling, the phone can be mounted on a bike where it
can be turned into a second display of the watch and not drain the
phones battery by using GPS on the phone.
Suunto Ambit3 GPS Watches
Suunto Ambit3 Sport – the multisport experience: specialized features for running, swimming and cycling
The new Suunto Ambit3 Sport packs all of the features
needed for running, swimming, cycling and multisport training. The GPS
provides accurate pace, route navigation and tracking while the heart
rate monitor allows training within an ideal zone. The Ambit3 Sport has
all of the familiar features of the Ambit2 S yet is also equipped with
new, sport-specific features, including:
Swimming:
As a highly-requested new feature, the Ambit3 Sport records heart rate while swimming. The heart rate belt with the new Suunto Smart Sensor, sold with the Ambit3 Sport HR, stores heart rate data during the swim and, once out of the water, transfers it directly to the Ambit3 Sport.
Recovery time and activity monitoring:
The Ambit3 Sport provides daily activity monitoring for a more complete estimation of total recovery time.
Ambit3 Peak – the adventure experience
The Ambit3 Peak, successor of the award-winning Suunto
Ambit2, is the new flagship of the Suunto Ambit family. This is the
watch for serious adventurers and athletes – packing Suunto’s hallmark
outdoor functions such as route navigation, barometric information,
altimeter with FusedAlti™, 3D compass and other outdoor specific
features. The Ambit3 Peak also includes all of the new functionality
described above for the Ambit3 Sport.
The Ambit3 Peak has double the battery life (up to 50 hours in GPS mode) compared to Ambit3 Sport, and its tough design with glass fiber reinforced casing and stainless steel bezel make this watch ready to take a beating in any conditions – and perfect for any adventure. The Sapphire edition comes with a sapphire crystal glass for ultimate durability.
New Suunto Smart Sensor for heart rate tracking
