What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: battery life is listed as 120 Hours, while feature text claims up to 500 hours. Compatibility lists differ between older and newer Suunto watch models, and the 0.96 Inches screen-size entry is unexplained for a heart-rate belt. Check the selected model's supported devices and applicable battery-life claim before buying. The strap size is also offered in several sizes in the description, but the selected size is not confirmed by the listing details shown.
