Suunto Ambit2 R
* The biggest downside for most people over the 310XT is the price, which is significantly more than the 310XT.

The "R" in the name is for "Runner" and is the moniker for the cheapest of the Ambit2 range. It lacks some of the features of the more expensive Ambit2 watches, but the price is far more attractive. The Ambit2 R offers great functionality and reasonable GPS accuracy, and it's only significant flaw is the inability to display pace from a [[Footpod]].
===Ambit2 R Pros===
* Like any complex device, the Ambit2 can occasionally need a reboot. Sadly, while you can shut down the Ambit2 from the menu, the only way of waking it up again is to plug it into a USB power source. This should be a very rare issue, but if it happens to you on or just before a race, you're screwed.
* While the Ambit2 can display a map of a route, or give you a map for going back to the start, there is not a simple display of your current route.
 
=Worth Considering=
These watches are good, but they are not quite good enough to be completely recommended.
