Suunto Traverse Alpha or Sunto Ambit 3 Sport ?
-
What time should I decide on a Suunto Ambit 3 Sport or Suuto Traverse Alpha? Cycling, walking into the hills, which would be more appropriate and why?
Thanks for the tips! -
OK, I will bite.
The Traverse looks better IMO and has a better shell+glass. BUT you’ll probably get better GPS out of the Ambit 3 Sport and have more sport mode options with more active displays.
But I don’t know how both of these will fair in the software department and all this Movescount/SuuntoApp sh** that has been going on for far too long now.
None of the newer watches interest you? Or any other brand?
SHUT UP LEGS!

traverse alpha has a baro, ambit3 sport does’t.
depends what he wants to do with the watch? -
@TELE-HO
Yes but as he mentioned he is into cycling which the Traverse isn’t well supported for. But yes, I totally agree, depends on what you want to do. I would never go for a watch without a baro for example … but on the other hand I would never go for a watch that doesn’t have the cycling features I need … like power and cadence readouts from the connected sensors. But then we are talking about watches in the higher price category, not the 200-400€ ones.SHUT UP LEGS!

second hand ambit3 peak sapphire…
it will last forever… at least the watch itself
-
@zhang965
that’s the other option, just buy an s9b and be happy with the flagship
-
No I mean you can not suggest someone to get a out of date model that Suunto app doesn’t support ?
-
@zhang965
yes I know what you mean… but it’s still sold and nowhere mentioned it’s phaseout… -
The Ambit3S behaves very well in measuring the altitude even without having the barometer, I compared it several times in 60-70k races with the Ambit3 Peak without too many differences… about 150 m less than the total 2400

Movescount
I am already interested in new clocks, I am just a pensioner who unfortunately cannot afford it. Movescount is really not good, I can see it after that because it doesn’t tolerate the state of the steps that are only visible on the clock. I will test both hours and keep one that will be better. Thanks for the reply.

if you have very good eyes and you can handle watch setup from the tiny phone screen you can always go for a secondhand watch from the s-line in case stepcounter (we discuss this again??) is important for you.
for me it is something I notice every now and then and if I could I would disable stepcounter. -
@jahtba
maybe you can look at s5, seems to be a dedicated bike watch and it is the way forward… not the cheapest on the market but soon snow and santa comes
edit: maybe not so dedicated bike but multisport… but suunto marketing makes me think like this
-
@TELE-HO @jahtba just thinking exactly same, take a look on S5
