Suunto 9

Released in 2018 and designed to track a wide range of sports, including outdoor pursuits, the Suunto 9 is a well-rounded sports watch. It would be an ideal option for anyone who regularly does triathlon training and wants to monitor their progress. The watch does a great job of tracking running, swimming and cycling, among other activities and can provide that extra bit of motivation to keep you moving towards a new personal best. It has a simple, rugged design with a mineral glass watch face and a backlit, LED display. Some users find that the screen could be brighter and is not always readable in the sun, but apart from this, most are impressed with the solid build and overall design of this sports watch.

Suunto 9 Features

In addition to triathlon tracking, the Suunto 9 has an impressive selection of outdoor functions including an altimeter, barometer, compass and sunrise/sunset clock. It supports GPS and can measure your distance, speed and cadence as well as track your routes when training outdoors. The swim functions available on the watch include swim speed, distance, number of lengths and stroke. The Suunto app offers training analysis along with challenges that you can participate in.

In terms of price, the Suunto 9 is really quite expensive. Older models like the Suunto 3 Fitness and the Ambit3 Peak offer similar outdoor tracking options and come at a much lower price point. Such products might be a suitable option if you are hoping not to splash out too much on a Suunto sports watch online.
