RYDA is selling the previous generation of Suunto multisport GPS watches, the Suunto Ambit2 models, at a sizeable discount. Great for running, cycling, swimming, trekking, skiing, sailing, kayaking, and any combination of the above. The best deal looks like the Ambit2 Sapphire with sapphire crystal for maximum durability.

For comparison, the Ambit2 Sapphire is selling for $32 t9 USD on Amazon.com so this works out considerably cheaper and is backed by Suunto Australian Warranty.

You can get $5 off the above price if you purchase online. Shipping is at a flat rate of $9.95 to anywhere in Australia.

Main features
  • GPS Route and Way-point Navigation (and find back/track back)
  • Track logging, view and sharing
  • Barometric Altimeter (barometric pressure and graph, storm warning, total ascent/descent)
  • Temperature Sensor
  • Multi Sport Transitional Support
  • Swimming Support including Open Water
  • Personalise with 1000+ free Sport Apps
  • Heart rate limits, Heart rate graph in real time (with HR monitor)

You can read DC Rainmaker's massive in-depth review of this watch at http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/04/suunto-ambit2-review.html

Compared to Ambit3

The main differences to the current generation of Ambit3 are:

  • Ambit2 has no smartphone integration (you need to hook it up to your computer)
  • Ambit2 supports ANT/ANT+ for sensors whereas Ambit3 only supports Bluetooth Smart sensors
  • No activity tracker (e.g. walking) on the Ambit2

More info at http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/07/suunto-ambit3-multisport.…. If these features are not important to you then grab yourself a nearly half priced Ambit2 instead.

    Perhaps better to get it from their eBay site here as you can get cashback at least

    Just a heads up that this doesn't include the Heart Rate Strap (same bundle with the strap is $50 more, which puts it pricing wise too close to the newer Ambit 3).

    In terms of pricing, the non-Sapphire Ambit 2 with the Heart Rate strap included has been cheaper in the past through Amart Sports when they have a 20% off watches sale ($399 price down to $325ish, saving you $30-35 compared to Ryda) so might be worth waiting out for one of those sales rather than buying here if you don't care about the Sapphire glass.

      AGREE: I got my Ambit2 HR last year for only a little more than $400. I think the Ambit3 would be a better option at that price point…

        It depends on what you are after. There is no Ambit3 with Sapphire crystal anywhere near that price point and the Ambit3 Sport and Run versions are only water resistant to 50m so if this were for marine use you might prefer the Sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance so that it would not get scratched up and flooded on first use. If it's for running or cycling these become a lot less important.

        The battery life on the Ambit3 Sport/Run and Ambit2S is also half that of the Ambit2 and Ambit3 Peak. Tradeoffs, tradeoffs. :)

      pricing wise too close to the newer Ambit 3

      The difference in price between the Sapphire and mineral glass versions is ~$100 so this is not a fair comparison. But yes, if you are after a heart rate strap this may not be the deal for you as it's an extra $50 compared an extra $38 in most shops.

      The Ambit3 Sapphire with no strap sells for $580, which is not exactly close.
