Suunto Ambit poor durability
This is the second "wrist top device" I've purchased from Suunto I'm not impressed with their durability. The Suunto Ambit that I bought (retails w/heart-rate monitor for ~$550.00) malfunctioned w/in 2.5 months of purchase. I run 4-5 times/week in the US Mid-Atlantic region in a suburban/rural environment with light precipitation so the conditions that I ask the watch to function are not extreme in terms of temperature, moisture, or roughness.
As of this morning, the buttons on the Ambit no longer work properly: I am unable to navigate its settings or turn the backlighting off.
I called Suunto for help and they directed me to the Movescount.com website where I've been unable to locate any icons of FAQs that are useful in fixing the problem. Afer waiting for the power to drain on the Ambit I plugged it into the computer, powered it up, and experienced the same problem again (stuck in one mode with the backlighting on).

Amazing piece of art and tech
An amazing watch, very robust and looks really good. I personally prefer the silver one sine it looks better in reality compared to the black one. The black one with the black display looks completely different from what you see in the pictures and ads.
The GPS works great and fast and you can basically do anything with this watch - exercise, navigate, navigat while exersize, count calories, distance speed pace whatever you want. You can create your own sport type using movescount and program what data you want to see in each screen. This include a chart for altitude or heart rate, up to 3 types of data in each screen.The watch software is updatable through movescount so this watch is going to get even better with updates.
There is one thing which I feel is missing and I wish it will be added in the future - when you run at night or spinning in the dark in the gym you want the light to be on constantly but it is not possible for now.
I think this watch is truelly...
Impressed with the product
** Update ** 29 Nov 2012
I received an email in my inbox from Suunto announcing the release of Ambit 2.0 software. According to Suunto "This update also adds the much-anticipated Foot POD support, ANT+ compatibility and an Interval Timer to your Ambit." The updated manual and videos are in a 26 meg adobe .pdf file found at [...]
I will be taking more screenshots from movescount.com and updating my review to reflect my experience with the foot pod.

My Ambit arrived this afternoon along with the Foot Pod mini(bought separately). Since I have not used the Ambit yet I will focus this part of the review on my impression of the product set-up, firmware upgrade, packaging and contents, as well as my movescount.com experience. *I will upload product pictures after my write up.
Note to be as thorough as possible I have included many details - to make life easy for you I have separated the feedback into sections. Scroll down to the features that...
