Suunto watches are well-known across a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts. Runners and athletes love them for Movescout, which is a revolutionary tool for planning and tracking your training. Hikers and climbers love the altimeter and GPS functions. The compass and barometer features are perfect for hunts.

While it’s not exactly a ‘tactical’ watch, the Traverse Alpha from Suunto is right at home in the outdoors.
I prefer navigation watches that use both GPS/GLONASS and this one does. Other features include moon phase calendar, gunshot detection, sunrise alert, weather trend, and red backlight for nighttime use.
That gunshot detection feature is cool for the hunter. When a shot is detected by the Treverse Alpha is drops a pin on your route. When used in conjunction with movescount you can visualize your hunt on a topographic map. By recording the position of other events on your hunt and linking pictures and videos, you can produce a short movie of your hunt that you can share with others.
Tested to MIL STD 819G*, the Traverse Alpha features a knurled stainless steel bezel, water repellent nylon strap and scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass. Vibration alerts and a customizable, night vision goggle compatible red backlight help you stay unnoticed.
Available in Foliage and Stealth color variants.

With Suunto‘s 2.0 firmware update to its Ambit GPS watch, users can use a web-based interface in the Suunto App Zone to develop their own apps. In addition to creating their own from scratch users can also search for apps created byothers and even tweak them for further customization.
However, I feel that the term “App” is a bit of a reach. They are really more like widgets in that they are pretty rudimentary, but once again, you get some personalization here. Even then, there’s one more thing you’ll want to know. You can only install one at a time. You’ll just need to make sure it’s the right one for what you have going on.
Here’s one just for fun to give you an idea of what’s going on. The “Beers burned off” app calculates how many beers can you safely take after the training without weight gain.
For a full list of currently available Apps go to the Suunto App Zone in the Get Stuff section on Movescount.com.
