VANTAA, FINLAND — Suunto releases four new designs within the Suunto 9 collection today, growing its flagship lineup of multisport GPS watches. The Suunto 9 has been lauded for its 120 hours of GPS-enabled battery life and intelligent battery life management system, which provides smart reminders to ensure your watch will last as long as you need it to.
The new variants include a top-of-the-line Suunto 9 model, with a robust titanium bezel and chiseled, triangular strap pattern, which speaks to the brand’s “designed for adventure” heritage. Moreover, the Suunto 9 line-up receives three streamlined variants in Black, White and Lime that pack all that battery performance into models without a barometer and are more at home on flatter terrain.
In addition, the Suunto 3 Fitness collection grows with two new designs, Burgundy and Copper, as well as an exciting software update that introduces two new training programs to Adaptive Training Guidance. 
Suunto 9: Trusted by Athletes Around the World
Suunto 9 was designed and built to meet the needs of the most demanding athletes and has quickly become a trusted companion for professional athletes and adventure-loving consumers around the world. Made for long, arduous training and racing, Suunto 9 has been tested to the extreme over thousands of hours by top athletes, including the runner-up of 2018 Western States Endurance Run, Francois D’Haene.
“I need products that are user-friendly and reliable, and the Suunto 9 combines these qualities. In addition to being easy-to-use, the increased battery life and intelligent battery features make this my ideal companion for any adventure,” says D’Haene, the current fastest-known-time (FKT) holder on California’s 210.4-mile John Muir Trail. “As an ultra trail runner, battery life is an essential factor, so this innovation thrills me.”
Suunto 9 Baro Titanium will retail for 699 € and features sapphire crystal glass, a grade 5 titanium bezel, a silicone strap with quick release mechanism, and a barometric altimeter.
Meanwhile, Suunto 9 Black, White and Lime will retail for 499 € and feature mineral crystal glass, stainless steel bezels, silicone straps with quick release, and GPS altitude.
Suunto 3 Fitness: Set Your Goals with Adaptive Training Guidance
Suunto designed the Suunto 3 Fitness for active people who value health and well-being. Each watch delivers an adaptive, seven-day training plan based on the user’s fitness level and, together with daily sleep, stress and recovery monitoring, helps users maintain a healthy balance between activity and rest.
In October, Suunto will launch two new color variants for the Suunto 3 Fitness, Burgundy and Copper, as well as a new software update that will diversify the training guidance programs offered in its award-winning sports watch. Users will be able to choose from the below training programs based on their personal goals and preferences:
• Improve: The current default plan on the Suunto 3 Fitness, which helps users gradually improve their level of fitness
• Boost: A more rigorous training plan that helps users quickly improve their fitness
• Maintain: Allows users to maintain their current level of fitness and enjoy regular exercise
The new Suunto 3 Fitness colorways, Burgundy and Copper, will both be available for 229 € and feature a stainless-steel bezel, silicone straps with a quick release mechanism, and mobile-phone assisted GPS.
