Courtney’s Suunto

Speaking of apps that integrate into the Strava eco system, Suunto watches sync with your phone through the ‘Suunto’ app. That app actually displays quite a bit of data. I never looked at as an option to see if it would be sufficient for me. I’m just way to comfortable in the Strava system and know (mostly) where everything is to bother with another app – which is what Strava is banking on – but maybe it’s time to look at other apps and see what they offer, like the app my watch comes with.

But this is not what this post is about. This is about Courtney Dauwalter’s amazing new ‘Suunto Race S Titanium Courtney’ watch. Taking a page out of the Coros partnership playbook, Suunto is releasing a special watch that is really just a special strap, in partnership with one of their sponsored athletes. The watch is already amazing. I own the Race, and the Race S is just the smaller cousin, but what makes this ‘Courtney watch’ so amazing is the strap… it glows in the dark.

Together with the ultra running pro, Courtney Dauwalter, we introduce a unique design that is inspired by her infectious joy and vibrant personality, and extreme resilience to pain.

The lightest watch in our portfolio, Race S in titanium, is now out with a fresh, new design. Its strap is vibrant and colorful in daylight, but comes nighttime, the strap comes to life and glows in the dark, revealing Courtney’s mantra – believe, in her handwriting.

And yes, you can just buy the strap by itself.
