Suunto Vector Wrist-Top Computer Watch: The Essential tool for serious hiker, climber, adventure racer
Suunto Vector Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, Compass, and Thermometer. Versatile wrist-top computer with altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, and stopwatch.
The barometer is VERY useful. The barometer function is constantly operating, and accounts for a nice little symbol in the upper left of the display showing pressure trends over the past few hours. This is very useful if you understand barometric pressure trends and their likely results. If you do not, look it up and learn, as you will find it to be very useful if you spend a lot of time in the brush. Remember that the barometric pressure must be calibrated against absolute sea-level readings from time to time, especially during rapidly changing weather conditions. Once you understand the relationship between altitude/changing weather, you will master the complexities of both the barometer and the altimeter, and understand just how simple they are, and how reliable this device really is. I have checked it against my high-end GPS and other barometers many times, and it is very accurate indeed.
The temp is useful if you need to know the temperature; like all such devices, it will have to be taken off of your body for about ten minutes before you will get an accurate reading.
FEATURES-Has all the features you could want. 12/24 hr time keeping, 3 alarms, compass, barometer/thermometer, altimeter, stopwatch, logs, split stopwatch, countdown timer, date, rotating bezel and seconds elapse around the edge of the face.
AESTHETICS-The watch itself is a little large but it looks really good. I prefer the black background/white numbers and it looks very good on this X-Black version I got. At first I wasn't sure about the orange inner ring but I love it now. The backlight makes the watch very legible at night but isn't so bright that it bothers you.
FUNCTION-All of the buttons are easy to use and the manual, although intimidating, is actually not hard to understand.
