The ultimate training equipment part II - the Suunto Gambit3 Peak HR



I own a fantastic device to keep track of my personal training - the Suunto Ambit3 Peak HR.

With this device I am able to keep very good track of calories consumed, intensity of training, recovery time, heart rate, how far I moved during the exercise etc. Via a connected app on my mobile phone, I can setup which training types should be available for me to select from the watch (e.g. indoor rowing, running, trecking, mountainbiking etc.). I can also setup which metrics should show when I am doing a particular sport, e.g. distance, heart rate, duration etc.

On the Suunto movescount.com page I am able to keep track of my trainings over time and the Movescount app gives me an overview over amount of training over last 30 days. Here I try to keep the calories consumed over 10'000 during the last 30 days.

I can highly recommend purchasing this device as a motivational tool for the typical middle aged office worker who needs a "kick in the butt" in order to get moving.

For myself I have done a few training sessions just because I am able to track them properly using this watch. Any investment within reasonable economical limits which makes me move more is worth it, so I am very happy with this watch.

That it is made in exotic country called Finland is not necessarily negative.

Suunto belongs to Amer Sports, which also happens to know a few other famous brands, e.g. Wilson! As an investment, Amer Sports trades at a P/E ratio of 24.5 and with a divident of under 3%. So, while I love their products, I am not going to invest in this company.
