Finnish Brand Blends Style and Function in Limited Edition Suunto 7, Suunto 3 Launch

November 16, 2020

Just in time for the holidays, Suunto releases one-of-a-kind, microfiber textile straps on the award-winning Suunto 7 and Suunto 3

HELSINKI, Finland (November 16, 2020) –  Suunto, the global leader in sports watches, dive computers and precision instruments, blends style and function in time for the holidays with the release of limited edition Suunto 7 and Suunto 3, featuring the first-of-its-kind, fully microfiber textile watch strap. The new strap delivers increased flexibility for an uncommonly comfortable and secure fit, with breathability and moisture-wicking while exercising and a smart aesthetic for those important video conference calls.

“Silicon and rubber straps are functional for working out, but can leave something to be desired for athletes who wear their watches 24/7. With our new microfiber straps, we’ve created an accessory that adds to the comfort and wearability of our Limited Edition Suunto 7 and Suunto 3, which means you can wear them throughout the day, while at work and at play,” -Suunto President Heikki Norta.

In time for the holiday season, the special edition Suunto 7 will feature a graphite bezel and graphite microfiber strap and include a silicon strap packaged in a premium gift box. The new Suunto 3 edition is available in two options: an all-black and light gold colorway with complimenting microfiber straps.

2020 has been an unprecedented year for many and throughout the year Suunto has focused on helping the community adjust to a new normal. Through substantial software updates, Suunto is working to inspire folks around the world to get active, keep moving, set goals, track trends, and more confidently explore the outdoors.

Launched this year, the Suunto 7 is the first wearable of its kind to deliver a perfect marriage between sport watch and smartwatch utilizing Wear OS by Google and powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon Wear™ 3100 Platform. The Suunto 3 is a slim, lightweight fitness watch with more than 70 sports pre-loaded, sleep-tracking features and an adaptive training guidance feature that functions like a personal trainer.

The Suunto 7 (MSRP: $479) and Suunto 3 (MSRP: $229) with the all-new microfiber watch straps are available for purchase at www.suunto.com on November 16, 2020.
