Suunto has just launched several new smartwatches and a new wristband, which pay tribute to a major sporting event. The watches come with an extensive number of features, ranging from exercise and heath monitoring to navigation.
Suunto has just introduced three new variants of its own smartwatches. These are special editions, so to speak, designed to celebrate the UTMB World Series. The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc is an ultramarathon, one of the most challenging mountain marathons ever with a distance of around 170 kilometers and thousands of meters of altitude.
Specifically, the Suunto Vertical, Suunto Race and Suunto Race S are now on offer as special edition variants. The special edition of the Suunto Race costs $449, the Suunto Race S $349 and the Suunto Vertical $629. Suunto is therefore offering the special editions at a slightly higher price than the standard versions of the watches.
The range of functions of the watches is extensive. Not only can training sessions be accurately recorded, but extensive evaluations of training progress and personal performance can also be carried out. The use of maps and navigation is supported and a network connection or contact with a smartphone is not strictly necessary. Smart functions are also implemented, such as control of music playback and sleep analysis.
The company also offers a themed silicone wristband priced at $49, although less elaborately designed wristbands are available at considerably lower prices.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
