Just bagged myself one of these, been out for 2 runs wearing both it & my trusty 310. Set it on "trekking" for the first run & it showed a half mile minus difference over a 9mile route. Ran the same route again but set on "Running" & it showed a tenth of a mile minus difference with my 310. Great bit of kit but the jurys still out on its accuracy.

Great test for it tomorrow when I take it for 47miles over the SDW.

Loving the battery life though.

Just need to be able to upload the datat to Fetch & i'll be sorted.

I've seen similar accuracy issues. Suunto emailed me to say it was a bug being fixed in the next update end May.

Waiting patiently for (imminent?) fetch upload... :)

What did you get after the Hardmoors Beardy?
I had 106 miles & 15,000ft of ascent. So it was 8miles & 6,000 ft short.

Fetch has added direct import for the Ambit XML files (under train / add training). Seems to work a treat. Totally schweet.

Any updates on the accuracy? It is looking pretty far out at the moment.

Sorry that meant to say it is looking pretty far out of my reach for something that is not too acurate.

Accuracy is generally pretty good lately. The most I've seen it out is 13.28 for a half.
