The latest edition to Suunto’s Ambit3 family is the Vertical. This stylish GPS-enabled watch is built tough to follow your adventures whether they be by bike, run or hike. Sitting in the middle of Suunto’s sport watch range, the Ambit3 Vertical is designed to guide those who love climbing and who are truly into the pain cave.
With a newly redesigned GPS antenna hidden in the bezel the unit sheds the bulbous design around the band that is found on other Ambit watches. The Ambit3 Vertical is great looking, too, and slightly smaller and lighter (74g) than the Garmin Fenix 3 (84g), though I’m not totally sold on the lime colour — it is also available in white, blue and black.

The silicone rubber strap is one of the more comfortable I’ve worn, and is super pliable with a slippery finish that doesn’t pull out arm hairs.

You don’t get a colour screen, but to be honest on a GPS watch it’s not a feature that’s really missed. The LED backlit screen is pretty small, however, at 128x128 pixels, but the black and white screen is tack sharp and easy to read in all light conditions.
With some watches in this category now moving to touchscreen, the Ambit3 Vertical has opted for five buttons around the bezel instead, so you can keep your gloves on to change screens or start/stop and activity.
