Suunto launches the new Spartan Ultra Multisport Watch

Imagine going on a week long adventure, Biking in Halsema, Running in Camp John Hay, Trek to Sagada, Surf in La Union, Swim in Pangasinan, all without needing to charge your GPS multisport watch and still get all the details of your adventure with precision and accuracy, sounds impossible? Then you haven’t heard of the new Suunto Spartan Ultra multisport watch yet.

Named after the historical Spartan warriors, that until today is a symbol of strength, endurance and inspire modern day feats of heroism among athletes who drive themselves to ever higher peaks of excellence.

We got a chance to take a look and feel the the Spartan Ultra, our initial impression it that the watch feels solid and durable, the screen is bright and the display can be easily seen even in bright light conditions.

Though the Spartan Ultra feels very light, its a bit bulky compared to other sports watches, this is primarily because it packs more juice than almost all other sports watches in the market, boasting a 20-200Hours battery life.

We’re hoping to get a test unit soon so we can test out the other features.
