Three predefined battery modes – Performance, Endurance and Ultra – deliver from 25 hours to up to 120 hours of recording time with GPS tracking on. Additionally, you can create custom battery modes to best suit your needs.

When you start a recording, you’ll get an estimate of how much battery life you have left with the current mode. If it’s not enough, switch to another mode at any time.

Some reminders are preemptive based on, for example, your activity history to make sure you are fully charged for the next outing. If the watch notices you are running low on battery during an exercise, it will automatically suggest changing to a different battery mode.

It has actually been tested in real world use in the toughest conditions by Suunto’s internal testing team and athletes all over the world.

Markus Kemetter, Suunto Product Line Manager told GadgetyNews:

Durability and precision, attributes at the core of Suunto design heritage, are highly valued by our athletes,and one of the elementary reasons they trust and choose us. To ensure this, we put the Suunto 9 through vigorous testing. First in our testing laboratory, exposing the materials and the build to various elements and forces, including drop, freeze/thaw, humidity and immersion, and later by our skilled and passionate team of field testers and athletes, who for months have used the watch in their training and everyday life.”

Suunto FusedTrack for more accurate track and distance

On long ultra runs you generally have to make a compromise. The deciding factors are generally battery life and the ability to record distance and track accurately. You see, GPS is a heavy drain on the battery. Well, in strolls Suunto’s unique FusedTrack algorithm. This combines GPS and motion sensor data to improve track and distance accuracy.

Moreover, this allows you to extend battery life by lowering GPS power without significantly compromising accuracy.
