Suunto has released a smart sports watch Spartan Sport with a GPS-module

Hours are getting smarter by the day, and producers increasingly difficult to impress potential buyers. In such cases, the issue remains a proven way to highly specialized devices, as it happened with the new clock Suunto Spartan Sport.

As the name implies, the watch designed for athletes, and thus lost some sensors that have been installed in Spartan Ultra model presented a month earlier. Thus, in the Suunto Spartan Sport not have a thermometer, barometer or altimeter - for most athletes this extra function. But in the hours there was a built-in GPS-module. It will allow to follow the route, and together with a pedometer, and more efficient to calculate the distance traveled. Also watch has a heart rate monitor.

As for the design, it is fairly quiet for a sports model. However, the bezel is made of bullet-proof titanium. Suunto also refused to sapphire, which is little suited for sports, and protect the display Spartan Sport using mineral glass. Inside the watch is hidden enough capacious battery, which will allow them to work up to 10 hours at maximum load with active GPS work. If we reduce the number of queries to the satellites, the Suunto Spartan Sport can work out for 40 hours. Without sports watch functions will provide up to 10 days of battery life, which is a pretty good result.

The clock set is specially adapted for sports software. It is able to recognize up to 15 different sports and use the appropriate sensor to display the required data.

Serious sports gadget, which is the Suunto Spartan Sport, has a serious price - 495 euros. Spartan Ultra model with a more powerful stuffing costs 650 euros.
