Suunto 7 review
At £430, the Suunto 7 ain’t cheap, and it even manages to out-price the latest Apple Watch by around thirty quid. It’s attractive and comfortable though, and comes packed with all the sports tracking tech you’re likely to need, with a solid battery life, depending on how hard you push it. Still, you can pick up something like a Garmin Venu for around half the price, and that can last up to five days on a single charge. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 has a similar battery life to the Suunto 7, but is again, cheaper, with a slimmer, less chunky build, which you may prefer. If you’re a fan of the Suunto 7’s sporty, rugged looks, and want comprehensive sports tracking without being fussed about regular charging, then this could very well be the niche-filling wristwear you’re after. For everyone else though, you’re better off saving some cash and springing for something a little more wallet friendly.
