Suunto 9 review

The watch that's built to outlast you

Amazing 120-hour battery life ; Rugged and hard-wearing ; Powerful training features

Screen can be hard to read ; Sometimes confusing menus ; Both apps need improvement

This is a big watch. Big battery, big rugged looks and a big long list of multi-sport features that’ll give almost any other watch a run, ride, swim or stand up paddle board for its money. It’s expensive and the app and interface could use some work,...

Suunto 9 review: Big on battery life, brilliant for triathletes

The Suunto 9 is an accomplished multi-sport watch. It's rather big and chunky, but that gives it space for a big battery - and boy does this

Solid build with 100m water-resistance ; Removable silicone strap ; Battery life lasts for days and days no problem ; Multiple sports tracking with lots of detail/breakdown of activity

Screen coating quality is reflective and fingerprint-attracting ; Not the brightest display ; Irksome heart-rate monitor flashes when not needed ; Expensive ; Not best app system/synching

Suunto 9 review: Suunto's flagship sports watch lacks the wow factor

Solid sports tracking and brilliant battery life aren't enough for the Suunto 9 to compete with the best

Intelligent battery modes ; Good sports tracking ; In-app route planner

Inaccurate heart-rate tracking ; Suunto's software is frustrating ; No custom workouts

If you can find it for around £300-£350, it’s a solid choice, with good sports tracking and a nifty navigation mode, but poor heart-rate tracking and lack of structured workouts still count against it. Unless you’re an Ultramarathon runner or Ironman...

Suunto 9 review

The premium GPS sports watch with a battery life that'll go beyond your best efforts

Amazing 120-hour battery life ; Quality premium build ; Super tough ; Connected phone notifications

Menu layout not for everyone ; App could be better ; Expensive

An epic battery life and super-accurate tracking make this a great – if pricey – option for anyone serious about sport

Suunto 9 review

Adventurers and ultrarunners love Suunto's multi-sport GPS smartwatches because of their long battery life. The new Suunto 9 pushes the power envelope ever further delivering a mind-blowing 120 hours of continuous tracking. Does the watch live up to...

Intelligent battery modes provide up to 120 hours battery life ; Abundance of performance metrics ; High-resolution, touchscreen display ; Innovative FusedTrack motion-based tracking ; Comfortable fit

Limited control over notifications ; No advanced sleep analysis ; Confusing software options

Suunto 9 Peak In-Depth Review

I've been wearing the Suunto 9 Peak for about two months now, getting a feel for how it handles workouts as well as day-to-day wear. In many ways, the Suunto 9's biggest changes are physical in nature – the design, shape, and size. And for a lot of...

Suunto 9 Baro Multisport GPS In-Depth Review

Let's get something out of the way right up front: The Suunto 9 is the Suunto Spartan V2. Or next-gen Spartan Ultra, or whatever you want to call it. Except Suunto changed the naming system this go around – and now it's called Suunto 9. Thus, if you're...
