Some barriers are visible, others unspoken – but all are meant to be broken. These three women prove that strength is as much about mindset as muscle.
Every day, women are breaking barriers, proving their strength, and setting new standards in their sports. Suunto is proud to support and celebrate these trailblazers who push limits and inspire others to do the same. Here, we spotlight three incredible athletes featured in our latest film—each with her own journey of perseverance, passion, and dedication.
Emily Reynolds
Although many aspects of Emily’s life have changed over the years, her connection to the water has remained constant. From competitive swimming pools in Maryland and Georgia to the vast Pacific Ocean in Hawai'i, Emily’s passion has expanded beyond swimming to include scuba diving, snorkeling, and surfing. For her, the ocean offers both mental escape and physical challenge. Her years of competitive swimming have built the endurance to swim miles of open ocean, where she’s crossed Hawaiian island channels and swum alongside dolphins, turtles, rays, and even whales.
The Suunto Aqua bone conduction headphones have become an essential tool for her, providing crystal-clear sound even underwater, allowing her to stay motivated and focused during her open-water swims.
Emily's journey is deeply intertwined with her love for the ocean and the powerful community of women who share her passion.
Robin Vieira
For Robin, running is about more than just logging miles—it’s about finding clarity in the mountains and pushing her limits through skyrunning. Tackling technical terrain, high altitudes, and unpredictable conditions requires endurance, strategic decision-making, and resilience.
The Suunto Race S watch plays a crucial role in her training, offering precise GPS tracking, altitude measurements, and performance metrics that empower her to make quick, informed decisions on the mountain.
As a woman in this space, Robin hopes to inspire others to step outside their comfort zones and embrace trails that challenge them to build skill, strategy, and adaptability. For her, true strength isn’t just about fitness; it’s about reading the mountain, trusting her instincts, and moving forward with unwavering confidence.
Kimi Werner
Kimi Werner’s connection to the ocean runs deep. As a Hawaiian spear fisherwoman and freediver, she’s spent her life exploring the underwater world, embracing its beauty, and respecting its power. Her journey is about more than just the catch—it’s about immersing herself in the environment, finding harmony with nature, and pushing her own boundaries. Whether she’s diving along vibrant coral reefs or hunting sustainably to provide for her family, Kimi’s approach to her craft embodies a profound respect for the sea.
The Suunto Ocean watch has become an essential part of her gear, offering reliable depth tracking, dive logs, and precise underwater navigation to ensure her safety and enhance her exploration. Her dedication to her sport continues to inspire others to forge their own path in and out of the water, embracing the challenges and beauty of the natural world.
These women continue to show us what’s possible when you push past your limits and follow your passions. We’re excited to share their stories and celebrate the incredible journeys they’re on. Stay tuned for more from Emily, Robin, and Kimi with content in our social channels each Wednesday this month.
