Lately I have been tinkering around with the Suunto Ambit 3 Vertical, in particular the Community created apps that are available through Movescount. These apps really give Suunto an edge over its competitors when it comes to customising your watch, especially if you are interested in recording or calculating some really odd info while training.
My current favorite is the Beers burned off app (or beers earned as I’m calling it) by jweak. The app estimates your energy consumption in kcal and converts this into 150kcal increments. jweak is obviously not based in the UK and must be using smaller euro beers, you can change it to the approximately 200kcal in a pint. Anyway I have added it to my Hiking activity so I get a nice screen telling me how may demi euro beers I’ve ‘earned’.
Movescount apps can be added to all Ambit 3 variants, not just the vertical so get playing around!
ABOUT STAFF PICKS
Throughout the week the staff at Facewest are constantly coming across all the stuff that’s on our website. As a result we often discover handy little features or particularly innovative or well designed aspects on many of the products we stock. Each week throughout the winter season there’ll be a short blog post from one of the staff at Facewest on a product they happen to have come across which really stands out, for whatever reason, as a great bit of kit.
