High tech is all the rage in the outdoor business, and Suunto is one company leading the charge. When it comes to outdoor navigation tools, climbing watches and training gear, Suunto has you covered. At the 2011 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, they brought along their well known line of outdoor watches, and also showed off the new Suunto Quest.
The Quest is a pure outdoor training watch. The rugged design and quality build of the device ensures it will hold up to even the most extreme demands of athletes in the field. Suunto has packed a lot of tech into a tiny package. Package the Quest with Movestick Mini and the Foot Pod Mini and four stages of user interface will help you control your training regimen. “Plan” by creating your program on Movescount.com– alarms alert you to your next workout time. “Plug” your training program into the Quest- download your routine to the watch and upload your training data to your computer on Movescount.com. Get out there and do your thing in the “Play” stage; the Foot Pod will track your running cadence and the Quest tracks speed and distance covered. “Progress” when you chart your progress and check your training analysis on Movescount.
Sound like a lot? That’s because it is. Suunto keeps finding ways of fitting more details of your workout into a wrist-sized gadget. Pretty impressive stuff. The Quest will be hitting stores soon, and you can view the rest of the Suunto lineup at Suunto.com
