The STRATOS triathlon watch adds multi-sport glory to the lower end of sports watch pricing. It is a nice unit to look at and generally well made. It is FEATURE-FULL and competent in many aspects. It does have problems though.
In the recent Suunto SPARTAN Trainer review we looked at the first 5, ‘dressy’ variants. Suunto has reverted back to its outdoor heritage with 3 new OUTDOOR variants on the SPARTAN TRAINER. The SPARTAN Trainer is a great entry-level triathlon watch. Does this new OUTDOORs version do the same for al you adventurous types? This…
A Great UK deal for runners wanting to start out running with power with STRYD. Well 2 deal bundles to be precise. You can get the Garmin Forerunner 235+STRYD for £350 or the Suunto Spartan SPORT WHR + STRYD for £300. Both are great options. The SPARTAN probably has more accurate hardware and the Garmin…
WINTER IS COMING For the KICKR smart trainer, WAHOO have knocked a whopping £100 discount from retail prices if you want to buy from their online store. There is a FURTHER £250 ie a total of £350 discount (here) for reconditioned KICKR units in what seems to be a special one-off promotion. I imagine there is limited…
Suunto Spartan Trainer Review This Suunto Spartan Trainer Review looks at the lowest cost sports watch SPECIFICALLY designed for triathlon and running with power (STRYD). It’s over a year since Suunto sprang the SPARTAN on an expectant sports gadget world (Summer 2016). We all were waiting for the AMBIT 4 and we got the top-end SPARTAN ULTRA. Then…
For those of you who don’t know about STRYD: It’s a running power meter and an accurate footpod For those of you who don’t know about the Suunto SPARTAN TRAINER (WHR): It’s probably the go-to tri-specific BUDGET watch of any current model. It’s a mean running watch too, by inference. REVIEW: STRYD FIRST THOUGHTS: SST…
The new Suunto SPARTAN TRAINER looks to be a great addition to the SPARTAN line. On first inspection, those of you who know about all-things-Suunto, might think we have the AMBIT4 in our midst. It certainly LOOKS like the AMBIT3-tweaked. It’s not. I have had 2x SPARTAN TRAINERs for nearly a week and 5 non-working dummy…
Suunto unveils their first watch with wrist heart rate measurement Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR is a full blooded multisport watch featuring best-in-class optical HR technology by Valencell. It should perform well but obviously it needs testing. There is little additional information available at present. The device will NOT INITIALLY be 24×7 HR monitoring. It…
Edit: Here is the announcement with a fairly detailed initial look I’m taking a well deserved break from the festive gin to bring news of the impending arrival of the Suunto Spartan Trainer as discovered by javaski03. It’s probably a cut-down version of the SPARTAN ULTRA/SPORT with Amazon stating these features: Battery life up to 8H…
Suunto have registered their optical HR version of the SPARTAN at the FCC. Is the bump back? It is called the SUUNTO SPARTAN TRAINER Thank you TF for this link: https://fccid.io/document.php?id=3178841. And thank you for the comments below (some of you are more observant than me, changes made). Whilst the SPORT and ULTRA share the same…
That’s probably the simplest recipe for a healthy and long life which very many people should follow. All you can do to improve the recipe would be to get good genes 🙂 I have created a challenge, its for your diet, muscular endurance and cardiovascular system, I know personally it is hard to keep this…
