Suunto

Low battery life? Not on my watch: meet the brilliantly powerful Suunto Race

You can judge a GPS running watch by how it copes on an epic, challenging, ultra distance run through mixed terrain. Good watches will handle the big demands; bad watches will DNF under the pressure. We wore the Suunto Race (stainless steel version) on a non-stop 28 hour 15 minute run of the Cleveland Way national trail, clocking a whopping 110.8 miles through moorland, hills, thick forest and coastal paths, and it performed like a dream. Using the “Ultra” GPS mode, the watch tracked our quadruple marathon very accurately, and even had 65% battery left at the finish line. Remarkable stuff.
