Like at a quick glance, you have to kind of, oh, wait, that's the time.

Oh, OK.

Oh, that's not the heart rate.

That's the pace or, you know, whatever it is.

Like it's a little bit you have to like kind of.

look a little longer than you maybe should to distinguish because it's all just like a bunch of left-aligned giant numbers.

Whereas these watches, the way they design their faces, I think they use the shape better, they use the space better, and they have more differentiation between the metrics they're showing you.

So it's easier for you to see at a glance.

So that was... I find the Suunto to be very nice during workouts.

Also, on the big walk, I found it to be great for kind of just general motivation.

Because it had a few different modes you can switch between.

You can see how far have you gone, or you can switch it to a countdown to how far it is back to where you started.

Or if you load the route onto it, you can see how far it is to the end of the route.

So that was all very nice.

I also loved that...

Every mile, the Suunto would give me a nice little beep, like a little encouraging beep.

Hey, I did another mile.

And I found that to be a little delightful thing.

I would actually look forward to it as I knew I was approaching a mile marker.

Like, oh, I can't wait to get my beep, my celebratory beep.
