Why We Love the Suunto 9 Baro: Here's Why
The Suunto 9 Baro is an exceptional GPS watch designed specifically for dedicated long-distance athletes. It incorporates a perfect balance of accurate GPS tracking and efficient battery saving features. With three battery modes to choose from, this watch ensures extended performance during your adventures. In Performance mode, it provides up to 25 hours of battery life, while Endurance mode offers 40 hours, and Ultra mode guarantees an impressive 120 hours of battery life. Moreover, the Suunto 9 Baro is equipped with smart reminders based on your personal activity history, so you always remember to recharge before your next run. Should you find yourself running low on battery during backcountry excursions, the watch will even suggest switching to a different training mode to conserve power.
An issue that plagues ultra athletes using GPS watches is battery life. To combat this problem, Suunto introduces its innovative FusedTrack algorithm. By incorporating motion sensor data, FusedTrack fills in gaps in GPS signals, resulting in enhanced accuracy while simultaneously conserving battery life, allowing you to pursue your activities for hours on end without worry.
The extended battery life would be meaningless if the watch didn't offer worthwhile features. Fortunately, the Suunto 9 Baro boasts a built-in wrist heart rate monitor, which efficiently tracks your active performance during both speedy workouts and high-altitude runs. To further enhance altitude tracking accuracy, Suunto utilizes the FusedAlti altitude tracker, combining GPS and barometric altitude data.
In addition to these impressive features, the Suunto 9 Baro also offers weather tracking capabilities, providing temperature readings and storm warnings. It has reliable speed tracking, ample log storage, and supports over 80 sport modes to monitor various types of workouts. The new Outdoor watch face prominently displays atmospheric and compass data, helping you stay on track even during challenging sections.
No performance watch is complete without durability, and the Suunto 9 Baro doesn't disappoint. Its sapphire crystal face effectively resists scratches and trail abrasions, while the silicone strap offers a comfortable and secure grip. With 100m water resistance, this watch is also suitable for rainy weather and pool running, allowing you to accurately log your workouts in water-based environments.
