The Suunto 7 launched back in 2020 and represent a significant shift in the company strategy, adopting Wear OS rather than their existing software, which has very limited functionality outside of fitness. Using Wear OS, Suunto has been able to catch up and surpass rivals Garmin in terms of smartwatch features. All this comes at…
Suunto is prolonging the life of their watches by giving them a bit of a refurb. Both the Suunto 7 and 9 now come with a Titanium option giving them a “new minimalistic design with high-grade five titanium bezels.” The Suunto 7 is by far the best looking WearOS watch in my opinion, so I…
Suunto recently put up the pre-order page for a new Suunto 3, but there has been a suspicious lack of press releases and other coverage With the recent launch of the WearOS based Suunto 7, I was hoping that Suunto may have done something radical with their affordable options, but it appears not. First of…
The Suunto 7 has so far been the most exciting piece of news to come out of CES 2020, time will tell if it is any good, but it is interesting to see a sports watch company make such a dramatic shift to WearOS. Previously, Polar launched the M600 with WearOS all the way back…

At £299 it is perhaps in the most popular price bracket for this type of watch, competing with the Garmin Forerunner 245 Music, Forerunner 645 none music…
A few weeks ago, the Suunto 9 was launched, and for the past three weeks or so I have been using it as my main sports watch, replacing my ageing Garmin Forerunner 235. I have posted some initial impressions of it, but now I have used it for around 20 gym, running sessions, and a…
Update: The full Suunto 9 review is now live The Suunto 9 was announced a few weeks ago, and I received my review sample at the end of last week. Since then I have replaced my Garmin 235 and used it as my daily watch. I have not had it long enough to test it…

Garmin dominates the sports watch market with devices such as the excellent multisport Fenix or the less excellent but affordable Forerunner 235.
