Suunto Traverse Alpha Review | Team Backcountry
We’ve been using Suunto watches for years and the Traverse Alpha is my favorite hunting watch.

Check out some of our other videos to learn how to transfer POI’s from your Suunto watch onto Google Earth, and vice versa.
Use alcohol hand sanitizer for the strap. Very effective and does no damage to the strap!
what about for a daily wear… this ok ? thanks
I have the Shinto traverse alpha and I honestly just use the gps for speed to find myself and revert to maps. As a watch it’s really cool but I should learn how to use it. Especially since it was not a cheap piece of kit.
4 ads during your review. You must be desperate. I will not click on your vids again
Great video. Thanks
Suunto Traverse Alpha has no Tide Graph ?….if its a Fishing watch it needs the Tides ?..
Nice review thanks. Mine arrived today and I’m looking forward to getting out in the mountains with it 👍🏼
Hi i’ve got a question: when you are in POI navigation mode it is possible to have a warning when you got close to the POI or getting away from it?
What’s the difference between the alpha and the normal traverse
hey there really nice video, if i may ask, does this watch have auto-repeat countdown(like casio gshock)?
Question about the compass… you have it in Degrees, is it possible to change it over to milliradian? we use Mils in the canadian army.
Wash the watch band with antibacterial soap after activities to reduce smell from bacteria buildup.
Great review!
I just bought one … I have had some trouble pairing and have yet to get HR going. — Blown away that you can with the Movescount App you can make a movie of your hike or whatever and play it back on your Phone or Laptop !!
My first Suunto was a Core. Then I got the Ambit 2. Now…darnit…I need to get the Traverse Alpha.
Cant you just wash the strap, from time to time? its textile, isnt it? – i have done that with Nato bands
Good review and excellent watch. Had mine for over a year now. The only downside is the moves application. Application crashes continuously. The app also doesnt correlate with watch features. But your review was about the watch.
Great watch! Great review! Thanks! I might have to get one.
Can I export the recorded route as a GPX file to PC (to view on a mapping app like MemoryMap)?
This would allow me to leave the mobile phone (or Garmin GPS unit) at home and just wear a watch if I didn’t need to view a detailed map en-route.
could you just wash the strap?
how long batery life if gps system on?
Can u set magnetic declination on this compass mode?
I just bought this. Need to learn how to drop “bread crumbs” when I hike in the woods or chase down a wounded deer so I can find my way back.
Just shower with it and no more stank.
I take a toothbrush an dish detergent and clean my band. It seems to help so far.
Is there a watch like this with no GPS. I hate plastic btw.
What’s the lug width? Blu Shark makes amazing straps
Can you set it up for regular time instead of military for Pete sakes
This is by far the best Suunto Traverse review I have seen and I have been looking for weeks. Now I just have to wait until my birthday….
How do you sort the points of interest? They are in the order I added not alphabetical order. Easier for me to find if they points of interest are alphabetical.
My traverse alpha is a piece of shit!! It won’t receive notifications from my Huawei p20 pro. Suunto customer service has been giving me the run around for over 6 months! They have no plan to fix it!!!! #suunto #suuntosucks
Does this watch have its own heart rate monitor built it?
Can you change this watch to not read military time?
Thank u for the nice video 😉
Thanks, waiting for mine to arrive.
Learned all i need to know from your video , thanks for sharing . One question i cant seem to find an answer to is what charger is best to use with this watch ? I have a samsung note 8 and it comes standard with the "fast charging" charger . Will it end up damaging my watch battery or would you say its safe to use ?
Great watch! i have a traverse too and i love it during my hiking! ❤
Man, simply the strap needs a good wash and leave it to air dry, don’t wear it wet.
The main thing with those watches is the limited battery life. If they had solar like the better Casio G-Shocks i’d probably buy one.
Nice Video! Suunto Traverse Alpha Crew!
Does any of the metal touch your skin? Reason why I’m asking is I have a nickel allergy and it looks as though only the Velcro band and composite back actually touch the wrist.
Hey, great watch and video. I got some questions to buy it for engineering operations. First how is the accuracy of the gps, i mean sensitivity? What about durability, i work at a mining site with rocks? And last how about daily use, i had a g shock right now and don’t take it off even in the shower?
I am having major difficulty with my compass. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.
Can you help?
Is this watch good for military use?
If you cross a dateline, time zone, or daylight savings time. Do you still have to set the time manually?
Very helpful. Getting ready to hike a 14 er with my new watch
I have one of these but It seems like you have more exp. with the watch. As it relates to routes, is there an ETA based off current pace or miles left till end of route/next way point displayed anywhere?
Best review I have found for this watch. Thank you so much.
Sick watch i just bought a suunto core all blk for $40 brand new i think i want the traverse now
great piece of gear
thanks for the upload
