One of the strengths of Suunto is the battery life and Coach Ige shares how Suunto Ambit was able to last the whole 100 kilometres at the Scenic Baguio Benguet Terrain with its 50 hours battery life. I also joined The North Face albeit a shorter distance and GPS Signal here can be challenging which is another strength of Suunto since they have faster GPS detection capabilities and not to mention advance navigation features.
