Suunto Ambit 2R: A GPS Watch Designed with Every Runner in Mind
Finnish sport watch manufacturer Suunto has added a new member to the Ambit family: the Ambit2 R. Unlike the Ambit 2 and Ambit2 S, which were designed, respectively, for mountain/trail adventurers and triathletes, the Ambit2 R is designed completely for runners.

  • Full-featured GPS - Includes Navigation and Routes; connects rapidly to satellite.

  • MovesCount Interface - Download apps, load workouts, share your runs, and more.

  • App Zone - Use apps like Interval Coach, Ghost Runner, Running Efficiency, and Marathon Estimate.
