Suunto introduces Quest in blue and yellow
Suunto’s Quest Blue and Quest Yellow added new colors to its training-watch range, with workout planning, real-time metrics and Movescount analysis.
Suunto’s 2013 announcement introduced two new colors for the Quest training watch: Quest Blue and Quest Yellow. Designed to be easy to use, the lightweight, comfortable watch offered advanced training features for both race preparation and personal fitness goals.
Users could download training programs and track heart rate, speed, distance, cadence and lap time in real time. Both existing and new owners also gained access to advanced EPOC and VO2 analysis through Movescount.com.
For running, the Quest was available with a Suunto Dual Comfort Belt and Foot POD Mini. A GPS package included the new Suunto GPS Track POD, which measured speed, distance and altitude and recorded tracks for viewing and analysis in Movescount.
