Suunto launches Suunto 3 Fitness smartwatch
Suunto has introduced the new Suunto 3 Fitness. We love their smart fitness watches and this latest edition looks to be just as impressive.
We reviewed the Suunto Spartan Trainer last September as were pretty impressed by it.
The Suunto 3 Fitness continues the brand’s design and fitness feature-packed spec list.
The new wearable is a beautifully designed personal training companion and elegant timepiece for everyday use. Furthermore. it delivers individual training guidance based on fitness level and even adapts to training rhythms. All designed to inspire you to keep moving.
Adaptive training plans
Packed with Suunto’s hallmark sport expertise, Suunto 3 Fitness comes with convenient wrist heart rate measurement, provided by Valencell Inc. There is also a heart rate-based fitness indicator that determines your current fitness level.
Training with Suunto 3 Fitness is easy. The watch automatically creates seven-day training plans. These use your fitness level and overall exercise history as a base.
However, if you miss an exercise, or get carried away and do a little more than planned, Suunto 3 Fitness automatically adapts your training plan accordingly. To be honest, I can’t see me doing more excerscise than planned – but there are some nutters out there.
Additional real-time guidance with heart rate zones during every workout help ensure you train at the right intensity.
Balance exercise and rest
Finally, Suunto 3 Fitness provides 24/7 activity tracking for steps and calories. The easy-to-follow summaries provide a view of your daily activity, helping you balance training and rest.
Sleep quality tracking indicates how well sleep supports your recovery. This is an important aspect as it enables you to keep up with your active lifestyle.
Keep up with training goals
Also, there’s an-all new Suunto app. This will appear with the 3 Fitness and I expect to get more details about this in the spring.
What I do know is that the new app logs all your activities and keeps you up to date on your weekly training goals.
The smart mobile connection also delivers incoming calls, text messages and calendar notifications to the watch.
