Here is a cracking value GPS watch, the Suunto 9 Peak Pro watch. It's just £315 which is excellent value for money. It's perfect for hiking and backpacking but it's a true multisport gps watch too so you can use it as a running watch or for cycling or in the gym. This Suunto watch finds gps signal quickly and maintains the signal throughout the day.
The battery seems to last forever, far better than my Garmin gps watches. They say it will last for 40 hours in GPS mode. I'm not 100% convinced of that but the battery does last a significant amount of time. When not in GPS use it truly lasts for a good few weeks.
It's a easy to use multi sport GPS watch. There are less features than others but it's got more than enough for me. The Heart Rate Monitor appears to be accurate and it even has a touch screen too.
Charging is really quick. It's lightweight which makes it a great running gps watch.
Some people may not like it's smaller size and the maps have less detail than more expensive gps watches.
£315 from Suunto suunto.com/en-gb/Products/sports-watches/suunto-9-peak-pro/suunto-9-peak-pro-all-black
£300 from Alpine Trek alpinetrek.co.uk/suunto-suunto-9-peak-pro-multi-function-watch/?aid=9ad3cf1954fdf190dab6cb254c91058c&pid=10004
This is what they say:
Suunto 9 Peak Pro is a powerful multisport watch with extended battery life and
military-grade durability. The ultra thin and timeless design makes it beautiful on the outside, too.
In sports, every second counts. Thanks to the powerful chipset, Suunto 9 Peak
Pro reacts faster to your touch than ever before.
We also completely redesigned the user interface, making it even more intuitive to use and easier to read.
Even on longer adventures, Suunto 9 Peak Pro is a reliable companion. It features the best battery life of similar-sized sports watches: up to 40 hours in the best GPS mode.
The superior GPS allows you to see your location, pace and distance with greater accuracy, even in challenging environments.
The robustness of the Suunto 9 Peak Pro was tested according to US military standards. Waterproof up to 100 meters, it is built from the highest quality materials, such as sapphire glass, stainless steel and titanium in selected versions.
Toughness can still look elegant. Together with its predecessors, the Suunto 9 Peak Pro is the thinnest GPS multisport watch on the market.
What’s your exercise of choice? With presets for more than 95 sport modes, you’re good to go whether you’re at the gym or climbing a mountain. Receive personalized feedback on your training load, progress and recovery, calculated based on heart rate variability (HRV).
