Suunto Ambit2 R GPS Watch for Runners

The Sunnto Ambit2 R GPS Watch for Runners takes a sweet spot in providing all the key metrics and stats while making it more affordable. It may have fewer features than the Ambit2 S but it added new features that are running specific.

Compared to the Suunto Ambit2 S, the Ambit2 R is much cheaper at 250 USD. But it is still a full-feature running unit with GPS and accelerometer to give pace, speed, cadence and distance.

What will be missing in the Ambit2 R are the multisports features like swim and bike modes, and ability to pair with ANT+ cycling sensors. It’s not a big issue if you only need to know your speed and distance.

The Suunto Ambit2 R is now available in the Philippines at all Time Depot stores nationwide. Suunto Ambit2 R is priced at 22,500 Php.  It is available in Black and and in White colors.

Press Release

Suunto launches Ambit2 R, the GPS for runners

Suunto’s popular Ambit GPS watch family grows in March with the launch of the Ambit2 R, the GPS watch for runners.

The Suunto Ambit2 R is optimized for your perfect running experience. It provides responsive and reliable speed and distance readings thanks to FusedSpeedTM, a unique combination of GPS and accelerometer data from your wrist. Suunto Ambit2 R also measures running cadence from your wrist.

Suunto Ambit2 R can also help you reach your performance goals. You can plan your own moves, or download complete training programs from Movescount.com. The watch reminds you of daily targets, tracks target completion, and provides speed and intensity guidance while you run.

Additionally, Track-back and full navigation offer the freedom to explore new trails without getting lost. Download routes from Movescount.com or simply select Track-back at any point during a run. Suunto Ambit2 R will show you the way.

Suunto Ambit2 R is available in black or white, with the white sporting a soft silicone strap for an improved fit for women. Both can be purchased with or without a Suunto heart rate belt.

With Suunto Apps, even more running features become available. Personalize your Suunto Ambit2 R with running Apps of your own, or choose from the thousands of free Apps in the App Zone on Movescount.com. They include:

Suunto Ambit2 R Features

Virtual coach: Let the coach determine when you should run easy and hard! This App is for endurance intervals. Select your pace level and the coach will give you target paces to run.

Ghost runner: Challenge yourself against a competitor. A positive distance means that you’re ahead while a negative one means you need to pick up the pace.

Running efficiency: This App helps you improve your running efficiency by recording the number of heart beats over a kilometer / mile.

High intensity intervals: This App gives a short but sharp interval work out. Start with a warm up, run 15 x 200m with 30sec recovery and end with a cool down.

Marathon time: It uses your current speed to give an estimate of your finish time during a marathon, so you can see if you’re on track for that target time.
