Vantaa, Toronto, Montreal, January 14th 2016 - 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.
Plan your workouts on the go with Suunto Movescount App and use the watch vibration alerts to help guide you. Route planner in Suunto Movescount is enhanced with topographic maps and altitude information. With the App, you can also customize your watch settings and share your Moves while on the go as well as receive call and text notifications on the watch.

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.
