Suunto introduces today a new member to the Ambit3 Connected family – the Suunto Ambit3 Vertical multisport GPS watch. The new variant provides a solution for sports where planning and tracking elevation is essential to training and competing such as running, cycling and skiing.

The Ambit3 Vertical combines a new lightweight construction with built-in barometric pressure, route altitude profile, vibration alerts and versatile multisport functions for running, cycling and swimming with up to 100 hours of battery life. Like all Ambit3 GPS watches, the Ambit3 Vertical tracks your speed and distance, in addition to effort and recovery when used together with the Suunto Smart Sensor heart rate belt.

Plan your workouts and track your ascent with ease

You can follow the altitude profile of your route directly from the watch with real-time ascent gain and remaining ascent. A summary of your ascents provides daily totals over 7 days, 30 days and a full year. In addition, you can check your all-time totals to keep yourself motivated.

When training on hilly terrain, power gives consistent and reliable information of your effort and how tough the course is. Pacing yourself using running power is now possible with an optional Stryd Running Powermeter. Along with the Ambit3 Vertical, Stryd Powermeter compatibility is made available for all Suunto Ambit3 watches.

Designed to perform

The new antenna construction of the Ambit3 Vertical allows a streamlined design and comfortable fit on all wrists. The composite case is lightweight, while the stainless steel bezel helps protect the watch glass. Water resistant to 100 m (300 ft), Suunto Ambit3 Vertical is designed, tested and built in Finland. Choose your favorite color from four sporty alternatives: blue, lime, white and black.

The Suunto Ambit3 Vertical has a RRP of 419 € (469 € with the Suunto Smart Sensor) and is available from January 14th (in Europe from February 2nd). For more information, visit ambit3 vertical.
