GPS accuracy was one of the strongest themes, with reviewers repeatedly calling land-based tracking accurate, rock-solid, spot-on, or near-perfect.
Pros: operating system experience, materials quality
Cons: contactless payments, onboard music storage
GPS accuracy received the strongest overall praise, with many reviewers calling tracks precise, strong, pristine, or among the best they had tested.
Pros: workout tracking variety, value for money
Cons: blood oxygen tracking, contactless payments
GPS accuracy was one of the strongest areas, with nearly every reviewer finding dual-band GPS accurate or very close to higher-end watches, aside from isolated track/open-water concerns.
Pros: comfort, value for money
Cons: contactless payments, Wi-Fi connectivity
GPS accuracy was strongly praised across reviews for hiking, running, city use, and difficult terrain, though some reviewers separated this from weaker open-water results.
Pros: battery life, durability
Cons: resume later function, ECG functionality
GPS accuracy was generally strong, especially for land workouts, but several reviewers saw small errors, worse open-water results, or a slight step back from past Suunto performance.
Pros: operating system experience, brightness
Cons: safety features, health tracking accuracy
GPS accuracy was broadly positive for land activities, often impressing reviewers despite the lack of multiband GNSS, though a few tests exposed weaker open-water or urban performance.
Pros: step counting accuracy, durability
Cons: voice assistant quality, contactless payments
