But their firmware leaves a lot to be desired. In both by Ambit3 Peak and 9 Baro, I have a hefty list of irritants, that each individually don't amount to much, but on the whole, make using the watch feel cheap and rushed out the door.
For example, #Suunto is well known for zero-drops while recording an activity, where the watch just doesn't record any data for a second or more. UI sluggishness, poor auto-lap detection, dim display, button press lag, Bluetooth pairing woes, etc.
