UUNTO HAS RELEASED its new
Spartan Ultra multisport GPS
adventure watch and it looks
like shaking up the GPS
sportswatch market with its
super-impressive feature set.
The Spartan Ultra has upped the
outdoor-tech ante with a colour
touchscreen that off ers a very wide
viewing angle and is also easily viewed in
bright sunlight. The watch is built tough (as you
would expect from the Finnish brand) with a
durable sapphire glass face, and the choice of a
titanium (grade 5 level titanium) or steel bezel. It is
also 100m waterproof and allows users to tweak

for a do-it-all timepiece that off ers such a wide
range of capability for the adventurer and outdoor

comes pre-installed with dozens of sports modes
and uses inbuilt features such as GPS, heart rate, an
