Suunto 9 Baro – up to 15% Off
This is Trail Runner’s favorite watch.
The latest iteration of Suunto watches is the 9, and it is a powerhouse. It sports an incredibly accurate wrist heart-rate monitor, excellent GPS tracking and an astonishing battery life. The S9 Baro is a sleek device weighing less than three ounces and fits equally well in the office as out on the trails.
Many of the updates with this device build on accessibility and customizable options. There are over 80 sport modes pre-programmed, with the option to create custom sport modes for specific activities or goals.
The truly mind-blowing thing about this device, however, is the 120-hour battery (while tracking GPS in Ultra Mode).
The long battery life is due to the intelligent battery. When in exercise mode, competitor devices lock into the battery setting you began with. Suunto understands that sometimes a session takes longer than originally anticipated, (or you’re epic-ing) or you might have forgotten to charge the device recently.
