Good for: A "normal" looking watch with geeky functionalities, a very small wrist, compatibility with gym equipment (e.g. iQniter used for spinning at Varde Fysioterapi & Traeningscenter)
Not so good for: Configuration on the go, compatibility with Training Peaks
Ok so the picture is a bit weird. I have tried to illustrate just how small my wrist is by comparing it to a can of tomatoes. :P
But that said, I recently (albeit a few months ago) decided to venture off the path of Garmin (Forerunner 910X being my last purchase) after 7 years, to try something new. I had experienced a lot of hardware problems with my Forerunners in the past, so I bought myself a fancy Suunto Ambit2 S. First impressions: It looks cool!
But turns out that it is not as easy as the Forerunner (maybe I am just opposed to change), and everything has to be pre-configured from their proprietary website, Movescount. This means you cannot suddenly decide you want to add "Auto Pause" to the watch whilst you are out running and stopped at a traffic light.
All in all it was good to try something else. Even if to convince myself that it was worth dealing with the hardware problems of the Garmin Forerunners. But this white watch looks better and weighs less on my little wrist. :)
