Rugged sport watches
Suunto’s range of GPS sport watches combine durable housings with sport-specific training metrics, altimeter/barometer, heart‑rate tracking and route navigation. Designed for runners, trail athletes and multisport users, the watches balance battery life and data detail — ideal for long workouts, mountain runs and expeditions where reliability and clear on‑wrist info matter most.
Dedicated dive gear
Suunto makes air and nitrox dive computers and consoles built for clarity and safety under water. Their dive units offer depth and time tracking, multiple gas support and straightforward screens built to withstand saltwater conditions. Suunto dive tools are used by recreational divers and professionals who need robust, easy-to-read instruments for planning and logging dives.
Traditional compasses
Alongside electronics, Suunto continues to produce precision magnetic compasses and navigation tools favored by outdoor guides and orienteers. These handheld instruments emphasize accuracy, clear markings and durable construction — practical backups or primary tools for navigation when batteries aren’t an option or for map-and-compass skills.
