Suunto Ambit3 Peak constantly measures absolute air pressure
using the built-in pressure sensor. Based on this measurement and
reference values, it calculates altitude or sea level air pressure.
and
Altimeter
.
15
CAUTION: Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and
sand. Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.
If your outdoor activity requires accurate sea level air pressure or
altitude, you need to calibrate your Suunto Ambit3 Peak by
entering either your current altitude or the current sea level air
pressure.
TIP:
Absolute air pressure and known altitude reference = sea
level air pressure. Absolute air pressure and known sea level air
pressure = altitude.
The altitude of your location can be found from most topographic
maps or Google Earth. A sea level air pressure reference for your
location can be found using the websites of national weather
services.
If Suunto FusedAltiTM is activated, the altitude reading will be
corrected automatically using FusedAlti together with altitude and
sea level pressure calibration. For more information, see
3.13 FusedAlti
16
.
Changes in local weather conditions will affect altitude readings. If
local weather changes often, it is advisable to reset the current
altitude reference value frequently, preferably before starting your
journey when the reference values are available. As long as the
local weather stays stable, you do not need to set reference values.
To set the sea level pressure and altitude reference values:
1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
2.
Scroll to ALTI-BARO with [Light Lock] and enter with [Next].
3.
Scroll to Reference with [Light Lock] and enter with [Next].
4. The following setting options are available:
•
FusedAlti: GPS is switched on and the watch starts calculating
altitude based on FusedAlti.
•
Manual altitude: Set your altitude manually.
•
Sea level pressure
: Set the sea level pressure reference value
manually.
5. Set the reference value using [Start Stop] and [Light Lock].

activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. soccer, sailing,
canoeing).
To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your
activity. You can either let Suunto Ambit3 Peak decide a suitable
profile for the activity, or choose a profile yourself.
NOTE: You can define the profile as part of the sport mode
settings in Movescount, or in your Suunto Ambit3 Peak.
To set the ALTI & BARO profile:
1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
2.
Scroll to ALTI-BARO with [Light Lock] and enter with [Next].
3.
Press [Next] to select Profile.
4.
Scroll the profile options (Automatic, Altimeter, Barometer) with
[Start Stop] or [Light Lock]. Select a profile with [Next].
Use example: Setting the altitude reference value
You’re on the second day of your two-day hike. You realize that
you forgot to switch from the Barometer profile to the Altimeter
19
profile when you started moving in the morning.You know that the
current altitude readings given by your Suunto Ambit3 Peak are
wrong. So, you hike to the nearest location shown on your
topographic map for which an altitude reference value is provided.
You correct your Suunto Ambit3 Peak altitude reference value
accordingly and switch from Barometer to Altimeter profile. Your
altitude readings are correct again.
Incorrect readings
If your Altimeter profile is on for an extended period of time with
the device in a fixed location while the local weather changes, the
device will give incorrect altitude readings.
If your Altimeter profile is on and the weather changes frequently
while you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device will
give you incorrect readings.
Barometer
If the
climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device assumes that
you are standing still and interprets your changes in altitude as
changes in sea level air pressure. It will therefore give you incorrect
sea level air pressure readings.

3.2.5 Using Automatic profile
The Automatic profile switches between the Altimeter and
Barometer profiles according to your movements. When the
Automatic profile is active, the device will automatically switch
between interpreting changes in air pressure as changes in altitude
or changes in weather.
It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the
same time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure.
Suunto Ambit3 Peak senses vertical movement and switches to
measuring altitude, when needed. When altitude is shown, it is
updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical
movement within 12 minutes), Suunto Ambit3 Peak interprets all
pressure changes as weather changes. The measurement interval is
23
10 seconds. The altitude reading remains steady and if the weather
changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading.
If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical
movement within 3 minutes), Suunto Ambit3 Peak interprets all
pressure changes as movements in altitude.
Depending on which profile is active, you can access the Altimeter
or Barometer profile views with [View].
NOTE: When you are using the Automatic profile, barometer or
altimeter icons are not shown on the display.

4.
Press [Next] to select Calibration.
3.7.2 Setting declination
To ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declination
value.
Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point to
magnetic north – a region above the Earth where the Earth’s
magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true North are
not at the same location, you must set the declination on your
compass. The angle in between magnetic and true north is your
declination.
The declination value appears on most maps. The location of
magnetic north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date
declination value can be obtained from the internet (for example
www.magnetic-declination.com).
Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic
north. This means that when you are using orienteering maps you
need to turn the declination correction off by setting the
declination value to 0 degrees.
To set the declination value:
1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
2.
Press [Next] to enter GENERAL.
3.
Scroll to Compass using [Light Lock] and select with [Next].

3.10.1 Using Suunto Smart Sensor
A Bluetooth® Smart compatible heart rate sensor, such as the
Suunto Smart Sensor, can be used with your Suunto Ambit3 Peak to
give you more detailed information about your exercise intensity.
While exercising, the heart rate sensor enables:

•
Peak Training Effect
And after exercise, the heart rate sensor provides:
•
total calories burned during exercise
•
average heart rate
•
peak heart rate
•
recovery time
If you use the Suunto Smart Sensor, you also have the added
advantage of heart rate memory. The Suunto Smart Sensor memory
function buffers data whenever the transmission to your Suunto
Ambit3 Peak is interrupted.
This allows you to get accurate exercise intensity information in
activities such as swimming where water blocks the transmission. It
also means you can even leave your Suunto Ambit3 Peak behind
after starting a recording. For more information, please refer to the
Suunto Smart Sensor User Guide.
Without a heart rate sensor, your Suunto Ambit3 Peak provides
calorie consumption and recovery time for running and cycling
activities where speed is used to estimate intensity. However, we
recommend using a heart rate sensor to get accurate intensity
readings.
Refer to the user guide for Suunto Smart Sensor or other Bluetooth
Smart compatible heart rate sensor for additional information.
3.10.2 Putting on Suunto Smart Sensor
To start using the Suunto Smart Sensor:

beat.
TIP: Wear the strap against your bare skin for best results.
Refer to the Suunto Smart Sensor User Guide for additional
information and troubleshooting.
37
NOTE: Dry skin under the belt electrodes, a loose belt, and
synthetic shirt materials can cause abnormally high heart rate
readings. Moisten the belt electrodes well and tighten the belt to

FusedSpeedTM is a unique combination of GPS and wrist
acceleration sensor readings for measuring your running speed
more accurately. The GPS signal is adaptively filtered based on wrist
acceleration, giving more accurate readings at steady running
speeds and a quicker responses to changes in speed.
FusedSpeed benefits you the most when you need highly reactive
speed readings during training, for example, when running on
uneven terrain or during interval training. If you temporarily lose
the GPS signal, for example, Suunto Ambit3 Peak is able to continue
showing accurate speed readings with the help of the GPS
calibrated accelerometer.

also have its own interval timer.
To use a multisport mode:
1. Press [Start Stop] to start recording the log.
2. Keep [Back Lap] pressed to change to the next sport while
exercising.
3.23 Navigating with GPS
Suunto Ambit3 Peak uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to
determine your current position. GPS incorporates a set of satellites
that orbit the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km at the speed of 4
km/s.
The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Ambit3 Peak is optimized for
wrist use and receives data from a very wide angle.
3.23.1 Getting GPS signal
Suunto Ambit3 Peak activates GPS automatically when you select a
sport mode with the GPS functionality, determine your location, or
start navigating.
67
NOTE: When you activate GPS for the first time, or have not
used it for a long time, it might take longer than usual to get a GPS
fix. Subsequent GPS starts will take less time.
TIP: To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the watch steady with
GPS facing up and make sure you are in an open area so that the
watch has a clear view of the sky.
TIP: Regularly synchronize your Suunto Ambit3 Peak with
Movescount to get the latest satellite orbit data. This reduces the
time needed to get the GPS fix and improves track accuracy.
Troubleshooting: No GPS signal
•
For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the watch upwards.
The best signal can be received in an open area with a clear view
of the sky.
•
The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin
covers. However, objects, buildings, dense vegetation or cloudy
weather can reduce the GPS signal reception quality.
•
GPS signal does not penetrate any solid constructions or water.
Therefore do not try to activate GPS for example inside
buildings, caves, or under water.
3.23.2 GPS grids and position formats
Grids are lines on a map that define the coordinate system used on
the map.
68
Position format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed on
the watch. All the formats relate to the same location, they only
express it in a different way. You can change the position format in
the watch settings under GENERAL » Format » Position format.
You can select the format from the following grids:
•
latitude/longitude is the most commonly used grid and has three
different formats:
o
WGS84 Hd.d°
o
WGS84 Hd°m.m'
o
WGS84 Hd°m's.s
•
UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) gives a two-dimensional
horizontal position presentation.
•
MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) is an extension of UTM
and consists of a grid zone designator, 100,000-meter square
identifier and a numerical location.
Suunto Ambit3 Peak also supports the following local grids:
•
British (BNG)
•
Finnish (ETRS-TM35FIN)
•
Finnish (KKJ)
•
Irish (IG)
•

south of 80°S, or outside the countries that they are intended for.
3.23.3 GPS accuracy and power saving
When customizing sport modes, you can define the GPS fix interval
using the GPS accuracy setting in Movescount. The shorter the
interval, the better the accuracy during exercise.
By increasing the interval and lowering the accuracy, you can
extend the battery life.
The GPS accuracy options are:
•
Best: ~ 1 sec fix interval, highest power consumption
•
Good: ~ 5 sec fix interval, moderate power consumption
•
OK: ~ 60 sec fix interval, lowest power consumption
•
Off: no GPS fix

3.25.2 Using foot POD
When using a foot POD, the POD is auto calibrated by GPS at short
intervals during exercise. However, the foot POD always remains
the source of speed and distance when it is paired and active for
the given sport mode.
Foot POD auto calibration is on by default. It can be turned off in
the sport mode options menu under ACTIVATE, if the foot POD is
paired and is used for the selected sport mode.
For more accurate speed and distance measurements, you can
manually calibrate the foot POD. Perform the calibration on an
accurately measured distance, for instance, on a 400 meter running
track.
To calibrate foot POD with Suunto Ambit3 Peak:
1. Attach foot POD to your shoe. For more information, see user
guide for the foot POD you are using.
2.
Choose a sport mode (for example Running) in the start menu.
3. Start running at your usual pace. When you cross the starting
line, press [Start Stop] to start the recording.
4. Run a distance of 800–1000 meters (about 0.500–0.700 miles) at
your usual pace (for example two laps on a 400 meter track).
5. Press [Start Stop] when you reach the finish line to pause the
recording.
6. Press [Back Lap] to stop recording. After stopping the exercise,
save the log by pressing [Start Stop]. If you do not want to save
the log, press [Light Lock].
74
Scroll with [Next] through summary views, until you reach the
distance summary. Adjust the distance shown on the display to
the actual distance you ran with [Start Stop] and [Light Lock].
Confirm with [Next].
7. Confirm the POD calibration by pressing [Start Stop]. Your foot
POD has now been calibrated.
NOTE: If the foot POD connection was unstable during the
calibration exercise, you might not be able to adjust the distance in
the distance summary. Make sure that foot POD is attached
properly according to instructions and try again.
If you are running without a foot POD, you can still get running
cadence from the your wrist. Running cadence measured from wrist
is used together with FusedSpeed (see
always on for specific sport modes including running, trail running,
treadmill, orienteering, and track and field.
If a foot POD is found at start of an exercise, running cadence
measured from wrist is overwritten by foot POD cadence.

3.27 Recovery
Your Suunto Ambit3 Peak provides two indicators for following
your need to recover after training: recovery time and recovery
status.
3.27.1 Recovery time
Recovery time is an estimate in hours of how long your body needs
to recuperate after training. The time is based on the duration and
intensity of the training session, as well as your overall fatigue.
Recovery time accumulates from all types of exercise. In other
words, you accumulate recovery time on long, low intensity training
session as well as at high intensity.
The time is cumulative across training sessions, so if you train again
before the time has expired, the newly accumulated time is added
to the remainder from your previous training session.
The number of hours you accumulated for a given training session is
shown in the summary at the end of the session.
The total number of hours of recovery time you have remaining is
shown as a view of in the activity monitoring display (see
3.1 Activity monitoring
).
83
Because recovery time is an estimation only, the accumulated hours
are counted down steadily regardless of your fitness level or other
individual factors. If you are very fit, you may recover faster than
estimated. On the other hand, if you have the flu, for example, your
recovery may be slower than estimated.
To get an accurate indication of your actual recovery state, we
recommend using one of the recover tests (see
).
status
3.27.2 Recovery
3.27.2 Recovery status
Recovery status indicates the amount of stress on your autonomic
nervous system. The less stress you have, the more recovered you
are. Knowing your state of recovery helps you optimize your
training and avoid over training or injury.
You can check your recovery status with the quick recovery test or
sleep recovery test, powered by Firstbeat. The tests require a
Bluetooth-compatible heart rate sensor that measures heart rate
variability (R-R interval), such as Suunto Smart Sensor.
Your recovery status is indicated with 0-100% result scale as
explained in the table below.
Result Explanation
81-100
51-80 Recovered. OK to train up to hard intensity.
84
Fully recovered. OK to train up to very hard
intensity.
Result Explanation
21-50 Recovering. Train easy.
0-20 Not recovered. Rest to recover.
NOTE: Values below 50% measured on several consecutive days
indicate an increased need to rest.
Test calibration
Both the sleep test and quick test need to be calibrated in order to
provide accurate results.
The calibration tests define what 'fully recovered' means for your
body. With each calibration test, your watch adjusts the results scale
of the test to match your unique heart rate variability.
You need to perform three calibration tests for both tests. These
need to be done when you have no accumulated recovery time.
Ideally, you also feel fully recovered and are not ill or stressed
during these calibration tests.
During the calibration period, you may get results that are higher
or lower than expected. These results are indicated in the watch as
your estimated recovery status until the calibration is completed.
Once you have completed the calibration, the latest result is
displayed when you enter the logbook instead of recovery time.
85
3.27.2.1 Quick recovery test
The quick recovery test, powered by Firstbeat, is an alternative way
to measure your recovery status. The sleep recovery test is a more
accurate method to measure your recovery status. But for some
individuals, wearing a heart rate sensor throughout the night may
not be feasible.
The quick recovery test only takes a few minutes. For best results,
you should lie down, stay relaxed, and not move around during the
test.
We recommend performing the test in the morning after waking
up. This helps ensure you get comparable results day to day.
You need to perform three tests while you are feeling well
recovered and have no accumulated recovery time to calibrate the
test algorithm.
The calibration tests do not need to be done in sequence, but they
need to be at least 12 hours apart.
During this calibration period, you may get results that are higher
or lower than expected. These results are indicated in the watch as
your estimated recovery status until the calibration is completed.
To perform a quick recovery test:
1. Put on your heart rate belt and ensure the electrodes are moist.
2. Lie down and relax in a quiet environment free from
disturbances.
3.
Press [Start Stop], scroll to RECOVERY with [Start Stop], and
select with [Next].
4.
Scroll to Quick test and select with [Next].

time you sync with Movescount.
NOTE: The results of this test do not impact your accumulated
recovery time.

3.29 Running performance level
Running performance level is a combined measurement of your
physical fitness and your running efficiency, powered by Firstbeat.
Physical fitness
Running performance level uses an estimation of your VO2max, a
global standard for aerobic fitness and endurance performance.
V02max indicates your body’s maximal capability to transport and
utilize oxygen.
V02max is affected by the condition of your heart, lungs, circulatory
system, and the ability of your muscles to utilize oxygen in energy
production. VO2max is the most important single denominator of
endurance performance of an athlete.
96
In addition, research has indicated that VO2max is also an
important measure for health and wellbeing. At optimum running
efficiency, your running performance level corresponds to your real
VO2max (ml/kg/min).
Running efficiency
Running performance level also takes into account running
efficiency, a measurement of your running technique. This
measurement also takes into account external factors such as
terrain, running surface, weather, and running gear.

Your Suunto Ambit3 Peak provides real-time running performance
feedback during your run.
The real-time feedback is available as a graph display in the default
Running sport mode. You can add this graph to any sport mode
that uses the running activity type. The real-time difference (see
below) can also be used as a data field in your custom running sport
modes.
During your run, the graph display shows your four data points, as
illustrated below.
1.
Baseline:
calibrated to compensate for external variables such as terrain
and to wait for your heart rate to stabilize.
2.
Real-time level:
for the current run displayed per kilometer/mile.
3.
Real-time difference:
between the calibrated running performance baseline and your
real-time running performance level for the current run.
4.
Distance: total distance for the current recording. The graph
shows the last six kilometers (~4 miles).

If you are new to running or just haven't been out for a while, your
running performance may be quite low at first. But as your physical
fitness and running technique improve, you should see a
corresponding increase in running performance.
Over a 4-20 week period, you may see an increase in running
performance level up to 20%. If your running performance level is
already good, it is difficult to improve further. In this situation,
running performance level is better used as an endurance indicator.
Following the real-time difference indicator provides detailed,
granular information on daily performance and fatigue during the
run. Endurance runners can use this information to learn how much
fatigue seems manageable during long intensive runs. During races,
this information helps you pace yourself properly.
Illustrated below are three samples running performance levels
during runs. In the first graph (1), performance is good. In the
second (2), performance is bad and may indicate over training,
illness, or just generally bad conditions. In the third graph (3), you
see a typical long distance run where performance level drops
steadily later in the run, indicate onset of fatigue.
