Spartan Trainer Wrist HR Metal

The Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR Metal is a sleek exercise companion for sweaty training sessions, outdoor adventures, and everyday activities. This is one of the smallest watches in the Spartan collection with its 46-millimeter face, making it a great choice for wearers with smaller wrists and those desiring a bit less bulk while training. It's hooked up with a host of powerful features for the active individual and outdoor athlete, including 24/7 activity tracking, wrist-based heart rate monitoring, GPS receiver for following new routes, and 80-plus sport modes for everything from cycling to running outdoors.

Wrist-based heart rate monitoring allows you to exercise without pesky straps getting in the way of your overall comfort. This feature also works great for measuring your daily well being and overall fitness level by measuring resting heart rate throughout the day. Besides the heart rate tracking, 24/7 activity tracking gives you an accurate read-out of steps taken, calories burned throughout the day, as well as your overall sleep duration to monitor your rest overnight. And because it's meant for embarking on your own adventures outdoors, the GPS receiver gives you the ability to follow new routes and measure elapsed distance when you're hiking and running.

One of the best features with this watch is the compatibility with Sunnto's Movescount app, which is available for iOS (i.e. iPhone/iPad), Android, Macs, and desktop PCs. This app gives you the ability to wirelessly upload all your exercise data for an in-depth analysis afterwards, as well as upload new routes and trails in your area. Plus, it rapidly charges with the included USB cable by simply plugging into a computer's USB port or wall-based USB charger.
