With the Suunto 5 Peak, the Finnish manufacturer has announced a new version of the Suunto 5 sports watch. The fresh model basically does not differ in its functions from the basic version. First and foremost, the Peak is slimmer and lighter, which should benefit the wearing comfort.
Suunto 5 Peak: Lightweight design
The Suunto 5 Peak is around 3 millimeters (mm) smaller casing and is a full 27 grams lighter than the Suunto 5. The lighter Weight probably also comes from the choice of materials because the Peak uses plastic for the display glass and the housing, while the basic version consists of mineral crystal glass and glass-fibre reinforced polycarbonate. Both watches have a stainless steel bezel. That has also changed waterproofness: Instead of 50 meters, the protection now extends to 30 meters, which means that the watch should still be able to withstand swimming training. Good: Despite the smaller external dimensions, the size of the LED screen unchanged at 1.1 inches with a resolution of 218×218 pixels. On the battery life The smaller case hardly affects it: It stays at 20 to 40 hours in GPS mode, with a new power-saving mode extending the runtime to up to 100 hours. In smartwatch mode, up to seven days are still possible, in watch-only mode the manufacturer’s information on the runtime is reduced to ten instead of twelve days.
