NOTE:
If you are wearing your Suunto Traverse Alpha on your wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate temperature reading because your body temperature will affect the initial reading.
Getting correct readings
If your outdoor activity requires accurate sea level air pressure or altitude, you need to calibrate your Suunto Traverse Alpha by entering either your current altitude or the current sea level air pressure.
TIP:
Absolute air pressure and known altitude reference = sea level air pressure. Absolute air pressure and known sea level air pressure = altitude.
The altitude of your location can be found from most topographic maps or Google Earth. A sea level air pressure reference for your location can be found using the websites of national weather services.
CAUTION:
Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and sand. Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.
If FusedAlti is activated, the altitude reading is corrected automatically using FusedAlti together with altitude and sea level pressure calibration. For more information, see FusedAlti.
Changes in local weather conditions affect altitude readings. If local weather changes often, it is advisable to reset the current altitude reference value frequently, preferably before starting your journey when the reference values are available. As long as the local weather stays stable, you do not need to set reference values.
To set the sea level pressure and altitude reference values:
- Keep pressed to enter the options menu.
- Scroll to ALTI-BARO with and enter with .
- Press to enter Reference . The following setting options are available:
- FusedAlti: GPS is switched on and the watch starts calculating altitude based on FusedAlti.
- Altitude : Set your altitude manually.
- Sea level pressure : Set the sea level pressure reference value manually.
- Set the reference value using and . Accept the setting with .
TIP:
When not recording an activity, press in the alti-baro display to get directly to the ALTI-BARO menu.
Use example: Setting the altitude reference value
You’re on the second day of your two-day hike. You realize that you forgot to switch from the barometer profile to the altimeter profile when you started in the morning.You know that the current altitude readings of your Suunto Traverse Alpha are wrong.
So, you hike to the nearest location shown on your topographic map for which an altitude reference value is provided. You correct your Suunto Traverse Alpha altitude reference value accordingly and switch to the altimeter profile. Your altitude readings are correct again.
Matching profile to activity
The altimeter profile should be selected when your outdoor activity involves changes in altitude (such as hiking in the mountains).
The barometer profile should be selected when your outdoor activity does not involve changes in altitude (such as canoeing).
To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your activity. You can either let Suunto Traverse Alpha decide a suitable profile for the activity using the automatic profile, or choose a profile yourself.
To set the alti-baro profile:
- Keep pressed to enter the options menu.
- Scroll to ALTI-BARO with and enter with .
- Scroll to Profile with and enter with .
- Change the profile with or and confirm your selection with .
- Keep pressed to exit.
Incorrect readings
If the altimeter profile is on for an extended period of time with the device in a fixed location while the local weather changes, the device will give incorrect altitude readings.
If you use the altimeter profile and the weather changes frequently while you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device will give you incorrect readings.
If you use the barometer profile for an extended period of time as you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device assumes that you are standing still and interprets your changes in altitude as changes in sea level air pressure. It will therefore give you incorrect sea level air pressure readings.
Using altimeter profile
The altimeter profile calculates altitude based on reference values. The reference value can either be sea level air pressure or altitude. When the altimeter profile is activated, the altimeter icon is shown at the top of the alti-baro display.
Using barometer profile
The barometer profile shows the current sea level air pressure. This is based on the reference values and the constantly measured absolute air pressure.
When the barometer profile is activated, the barometer icon is shown on the display.
Using automatic profile
The automatic profile switches between the altimeter and barometer profiles according to your movement.
It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto Traverse Alpha senses vertical movement and switches to measuring altitude, when needed. When altitude is shown, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical movement within 12 minutes), Suunto Traverse Alpha interprets all pressure changes as weather changes. The measurement interval is 10 seconds. The altitude reading remains steady and if the weather changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading.
If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement within 3 minutes), Suunto Traverse Alpha interprets all pressure changes as movements in altitude.
Depending on which profile is active, you can access the altimeter or barometer in the alti-baro display with .
NOTE:
When you are using the automatic profile, barometer or altimeter icons are not shown on the alto-baro display.
Autopause
Autopause pauses the recording of your activity when your speed is less than 2 km/h (1.2 mph). When your speed increases to more than 3 km/h (1.9 mph), the recording continues automatically.
You can turn autopause on/off for each sport mode in Movescount under the advanced settings for the sport mode.

Setting declination
To ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declination value.
Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point to magnetic north – a region above the Earth where the Earth’s magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true North are not at the same location, you must set the declination on your compass. The angle in between magnetic and true north is your declination.
The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date declination value can be obtained from the internet (for example www.magnetic-declination.com ).
Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north. This means that when you are using orienteering maps you need to turn the declination correction off by setting the declination value to 0 degrees.

FusedAlti
FusedAlti
NOTE:
By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during recordings that use GPS and during navigation. When GPS is switched off, altitude is measured with the barometric sensor.
If you do not want to use FusedAlti in altitude measurement, set your reference value with altitude or sea level pressure.
You can search for a new reference value with FusedAlti by activating it in the options menu under ALTI-BARO » Reference » FusedAlti.
In good conditions it takes 4-12 minutes for FusedAlti to find a reference value. During that time, Suunto Traverse Alpha shows barometric altitude with '~' before the reading to indicate that the altitude may not be correct.
Find back
Suunto Traverse Alpha automatically saves the starting point of your recording if you are using GPS. With Find back, Suunto Traverse Alpha can guide you directly back to your starting point (or to the location where the GPS fix was established).
To find back:

- Press to select NAVIGATION .
- Scroll to Find back with and select with .
The navigation guidance is shown as one of the views in the breadcrumb display.
Hunting with shot recognition
The automatic shot detection feature was developed specifically for hunting. It works best with hunting rifles and shotguns. It is not intended for handguns or other firearms.
Shot recognition is on by default when you record an activity using the hunting sport mode.
The shot detection algorithm uses a complex formula that takes into account motion patterns from both wrist and gun recoil movement measured by the accelerometer in the watch.
The automatic shot detection works with the watch on either wrist. However, for some users, the shot detection rate is more accurate when the watch is on the trigger hand.
We recommend that the watch strap is secured tightly on the wrist to eliminate disturbance from other sources of movement.
Results may vary depending on many factors, including firearm type, grip type, and accessories such as a support or suppressor. In some cases, a shot may be detected based on movement that is similar to a recoil, even though no shot is actually fired.
Your total shot count is updated on the watch display during the recording, and each shot location is stored.
NOTE:
Compass accuracy may be affected when shot recognition is active. Movement resembling the gun recoil may be mistakenly interpreted as a shot. Not all gun calibers are recognizable, and use of recoil dampening devices hinder shot recognition.

Movescount
Movescount allows you to customize your watch to best meet your needs.
Start by installing SuuntoLink:
- Go to www.suunto.com/suuntolink .
- Download, install and open the latest version of SuuntoLink.
- Follow the instructions to create your Movescount account.
- Go to www.movescount.com and log in.
NOTE:
The first time your Suunto Traverse Alpha is connected to Movescount, the watch settings are transferred from the watch to your Movescount account. The next time you connect your Suunto Traverse Alpha to your Movescount account, changes in settings and sport modes you make in Movescount and in the watch are automatically synchronized.
Navigating with GPS
Suunto Traverse Alpha uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine your current position. GPS incorporates a set of satellites that orbit the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km at the speed of 4 km/s.
The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Traverse Alpha is optimized for wrist use and receives data from a very wide angle.
Getting GPS signal
Suunto Traverse Alpha activates GPS automatically when you select a sport mode with the GPS functionality, determine your location, or start navigating.
NOTE:
When you activate GPS for the first time, or have not used it for a long time, it might take longer than usual to get a GPS fix. Subsequent GPS starts will take less time.
TIP:
To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the watch steady facing up and make sure you are in an open area with a clear view of the sky.
TIP:
Regularly synchronize your Suunto Traverse Alpha with Suunto app to get the latest satellite orbit data (GPS optimization). This reduces the time needed to get the GPS fix and improves track accuracy.
Troubleshooting: No GPS signal
- For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the watch upwards. The best signal can be received in an open area with a clear view of the sky.
- The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin covers. However, objects, buildings, dense vegetation or cloudy weather can reduce the GPS signal reception quality.
- GPS signal does not penetrate any solid constructions or water. Therefore do not try to activate GPS inside buildings, caves or under water.
GPS grids and position formats
Grids are lines on a map that define the coordinate system used on the map.
Position format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed on the watch. All the formats relate to the same location, they only express it in a different way. You can change the position format in the watch settings in the options menu under GENERAL » Formats » Position format .
You can select the format from the following grids:
-
latitude/longitude is the most commonly used grid and has three
different formats:
- WGS84 Hd.d°
- WGS84 Hd°m.m'
- WGS84 Hd°m's.s
- UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) gives a two-dimensional horizontal position presentation.
- MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) is an extension of UTM and consists of a grid zone designator, 100,000-meter square identifier and a numerical location.
Suunto Traverse Alpha also supports the following local grids:
- British (BNG)
- Finnish (ETRS-TM35FIN)
- Finnish (KKJ)
- Irish (IG)
- Swedish (RT90)
- Swiss (CH1903)
- UTM NAD27 Alaska
- UTM NAD27 Conus
- UTM NAD83
- NZTM2000 (New Zealand)
NOTE:
Some grids cannot be used in the areas north of 84°N and south of 80°S, or outside the countries that they are intended for.
GPS accuracy and power saving
When customizing sport modes, you can define the GPS fix interval using the GPS accuracy setting in Suunto Movescount. The shorter the interval, the better the accuracy during recording.
By increasing the interval and lowering the accuracy, you can extend the battery life.
The GPS accuracy options are:
- Best : ~ 1 sec fix interval, highest power consumption
- Good : ~ 5 sec fix interval, moderate power consumption
- OK : ~ 60 sec fix interval, lowest power consumption
- Off : no GPS fix
You can adjust the predefined GPS accuracy of the sport mode if needed only during a recording and while navigating. For instance, if you notice you are low on battery, you could adjust the setting to extend battery life.
Adjust GPS accuracy in the start menu under NAVIGATION » Settings » GPS accuracy .
GPS and GLONASS
Suunto Traverse Alpha uses a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to determine your location. The GNSS can use signals from both GPS and GLONASS satellites.
By default your watch searches for GPS signals only. In some situations and locations already the world, using GLONASS signals can improve location accuracy. However, keep in mind that using GLONASS consumes more battery than using GPS only.
You can activate or deactivate GLONASS at any time, even while recording an activity.
The activate or deactivate GLONASS:
- Keep pressed to enter the options menu.
- Scroll to NAVIGATION with and enter with .

Weather indicators
In addition to the barometer graph (see Using barometer profile), Suunto Traverse Alpha has two weather indicators: weather trend and storm alarm.
The weather trend indicator is displayed as a view in the time display, providing you a quick way to check weather changes.
The weather trend indicator is comprised of two lines forming an arrow. Each line represents a 3-hour period. A change in barometric pressure greater than 2 hPa (0.59 inHg) over three hours triggers a change the direction of the arrow. For example:
![]() |
pressure dropping heavily over the last six hours |
![]() |
pressure was steady, but rising heavily over the last three hours |
![]() |
pressure was rising heavily, but dropping heavily over the last three hours |
Storm alarm
A significant drop in barometric pressure typically means a storm is coming and you should take cover. When the storm alarm is active, Suunto Traverse Alpha sounds an alarm and flashes a storm symbol when the pressure drops 4 hPa (0.12 inHg) or more during a 3-hour period.
The storm alarm is off by default. You can turn it on in the options menu under GENERAL » Alerts » Storm alarm .
NOTE:
The storm alarm does not work if you have altimeter profile activated.
When a storm alarm sounds, pressing any button ends the alarm. If no button is pressed, the alarm repeats once after five minutes. The storm symbol remains on the display until the weather conditions stabilize (pressure drop slows down).
A special lap (called 'storm alarm') is generated when a storm alarm occurs while recording an activity.
CARE AND SUPPORT
Handling guidelines
Handle the unit with care – do not knock or drop it.
Under normal circumstances the watch does not require servicing. After use, rinse it with fresh water, mild soap, and carefully clean the housing with a moist soft cloth or chamois.
Use only original Suunto accessories - damage caused by non-original accessories is not covered by warranty.
TIP:
Remember to register your Suunto Traverse Alpha at apac.suunto.com/support to get personalized support.
Water resistance
Suunto Traverse Alpha is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), which is equivalent to 10 bars. The meter value relates to an actual diving depth and is tested in the water pressure used in the course of the Suunto water resistance test. This means you can use the watch for swimming and snorkeling, but it should not be used for any form of diving.
NOTE:
Water resistance is not equivalent to functional operating depth. The water resistance marking refers to static air/water tightness withstanding shower, bathing, swimming, poolside diving and snorkeling.
To maintain water resistance, it is recommended to:
- never use the device for other than intended use.
- contact an authorized Suunto service, distributor or retailer for any repairs.
- keep the device clean from dirt and sand.
- never attempt to open the case yourself.
- avoid subjecting the device to rapid air and water temperature changes.
- always clean your device with fresh water if subjected to salt water.
- never knock or drop the device.
Charging the battery
The duration on a single charge depends on how Suunto Traverse Alpha is used and in what conditions. Low temperatures, for example, reduce the duration of a single charge. In general, the capacity of rechargeable batteries decreases over time.
NOTE:
In case of abnormal capacity decrease due to defective battery, Suunto warranty covers the battery replacement for one year or for at maximum 300 charging times, whichever comes first.
The battery icon indicates the charge level of the battery. When the battery charge level is less than 10%, the battery icon blinks for 30 seconds. When the battery charge level is less than 2%, the battery icon blinks continuously.
When battery level drops very low during a recording, the watch stops and saves the recording. The watch can still show time, but buttons are deactivated.
Charge the battery by attaching it to your computer with the supplied USB cable, or charge with a USB-compatible wall charger. It takes approximately 2-3 hours to fully charge an empty battery.
TIP:
You can change the GPS fix interval during a recording to save battery life. See GPS accuracy and power saving.
