5 reasons why Suunto is the Apple of heart rate monitors

The heart rate monitor sector is hardly suffering from the crisis. It is a booming product and there are a number of circumstances that make it similar to the cell phone market. First class technology, design, social interaction on the internet and now also downloadable apps.

Do you know the Suunto Ambit 2S White?

If we had to look for a brand that has understood like no one else the importance of quality and product design as Apple did in its day has been Suunto. That is why we have highlighted 5 reasons why Sunnto is the Apple of the heart rate monitor sector:

• The Finnish multinational has known how to link its image to quality like no one else. Compared to other brands that have sought to reach all types of audiences at any price. Few models very segmented in public and with a proven quality.
• Latest technology YES, but easy to use. If I had to stay with the feature that best defines Suunto is its USABILITY. Its menus are simple and easy to start using. Whether you are an experienced runner and use all the features of your Suunto Ambit or an athlete who only needs to measure heart rate, time and calories you will not go crazy trying to find features.
• Design. There is no doubt that today the design is one of the assets with which brands play to favor the purchase decision of users. Apple understood it very well and Suunto follows in its wake. Very careful designs that serve you both for your sports sessions and for "street wear". Although it must also be recognized that in recent times Polar has put the batteries especially with the RC3 model.
• The important thing is not to invent, it is to copy WELL. And here the GPS is the key. This merit should not be given to Suunto but to Garmin. They were the first to understand that the future lay in the watch incorporating GPS without additional accessories. But Suunto was able to do the same in less space and with a battery that lasts long enough not to leave you stranded. In the case of Polar they have done very well with the RC3, surely one of the best quality/price heart rate monitors of the moment, but they have killed the rest of the models in the catalog. Who buys now a Polar Rcx5 that does not have GPS built into the watch being its top of the range model?
• Suunto Apps. If something was missing from the Finnish brand to be definitely the Apple of the pulsómtros were the APPs. And they have them. Some unknown to many users even of the brand. High-end heart rate monitors such as the Ambit series allow the installation of APPs created by the community and downloaded for free on your watch. There are all kinds of them, as well as applications for cell phones. Some are very useful and others are really absurd.
