Suunto Spartan Ultra and Spartan Sport – GPS watches for athletic and adventure multisport

Adventure proof
Suunto Spartan Ultra and Spartan Sport watches are hand-made in Finland and built to last in all conditions. Both ranges are water resistant to 100 meters, sport an extremely durable colour touch screen and have great visibility in bright sunlight. The watches come with 80 pre-set sport modes, for everything from triathlon, swimming, cycling, running, adventure racing, and snow sports.

The watches provide visual overviews on training loads, rest & recovery status and progress to help plan training. The watches are built with a glass fibre reinforced polyamide casing, sapphire crystal glass and a grade5 titanium or stainless steel bezel. Both watches have a competitive battery life and provide route navigation and a digital compass to guide athletes through new terrain. The Spartan Ultra also offers barometric altitude with FusedAltiTM.

Sports expertise and insights
With GPS, FusedSpeedTM and built-in accelerometer, both Suunto Spartan Ultra and Suunto Spartan Sport accurately measure your pace, speed, distance and GPS-based altitude, providing versatile insights on progress.

In addition, both Spartan watches monitor your overall activity 24/7 with daily and weekly steps, calories and active time. Pair the watch with Suunto Movescount App to get smart mobile notifications. The watch will also keep you up to date on your personal bests by sport.

Peer-to-peer coaching
Invite your coach to access your Suunto Movescount training diary to see all your training history and insights. Based on this information, the coach can give you online advice and create training plans for you to use and download to your watch.
