The watch is awesome all the functions are pretty accurate, it has great look and function, shipping was fast from Suunto, and the battery last a long time I charged it when I got it on May 15th and today is the 30th and it’s still at almost 50 percent. I’ve owned a good bit of watches to include Suuntos and Garmins and this is my favorite I’ve ever owned in almost 20 years. Eric F. · suunto.com
