Suunto 7 Ultra

[Brad_Olwin]

Well, it works and worked well! I used my Suunto 7 in an ultramarathon last weekend. Antelope Canyon 55k. I wore the S7 on my left wrist and because I was carrying my phone and wanted max battery, I put the watch in Airplane mode, turned off touch to wake and turned off powersavetilt. I left vibration on and ran in Trail Running Basic. My time was 7:03 and the watch would have easily gone another 2h as I ended with 18% of the battery left, enough to last the rest of the day. The tracking was excellent even in the slot canyon. Comparison with S9baro and smart sensor belt below. The distances were less than 500m apart and agreed with the race distance.

So any of you wondering if the S7 will last a marathon…I doubt too many have a finish over 7h

The S7 is in red and S9 in green (S9 on best recording)
Below is the track through a slot canyon with the photo to show how it actually looked, tough for GPS.

@Brad_Olwin Awesome! So, this goes to prove anybody doing a a marathon under 4 hours should be able to do that, while listening to some tunes Drop to 3 hours and you can start checking weather, replying to texts, and watching pics in Messengers along the way.
