The Ambit3 Sport from Suunto is a GPS watch that tracks multiple sports, including running, cycling and swimming. The watch can be paired with a heart rate sensor that records data during workouts on land and in the water.
I tested the white Ambit3 Sport and heart rate sensor, which retails for about $370 on Amazon. The watch is also available in other colors — including blue and black — for a bit more money (between $380 and $420). If you're concerned about cracking the Ambit3's crystal face, you can shell out $460 for the Ambit3 Sport Sapphire, which features a hard-to-break and superclear sapphire face.
The Ambit3 is more expensive than the $250 TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio, another watch that tracks running, cycling and swimming. However, the Ambit3 is a better choice for swimmers than TomTom's multisport watch, since it can monitor your heart rate underwater and can track swimming metrics (such as strokes and intervals) in open water. You can also use the Ambit3 as a daily activity tracker, though the watch only measures your overall level of activity, not individual steps.
