07 Mar 10 Suunto Vector
This Suunto Vector is great — definitely one of the greatest tool a hiker or backpacker could have. Anyone can figure out the setup; since that point my barometric pressure has been right on with the national weather service readings, and the altimeter is always close enough, maybe off by 6ft. I feel that I have tested this product greatly of the short time I have had it and found it highly effective and accurate. It is a serious outdoor tool. If your hobby is being outdoors and taking the occasional adventure, then this is a must have. Here are my other thoughts:
Check Out These Incredible Deals – Buy the Suunto Watch
1. My previous Suunto watch was the Vector, which served me well for 5 years. After water got into the watch I had to move on to the Casio Pathfinder. While the Pathfinder was a decent ABC watch, it simply never felt like a Suunto.
2. The altimeter and barometer are separate functions; they’re lumped together and you need to access the menu to choose. I’m loving the sunrise / sunset function that gives you the exact times based on where you live.
3. Very nice when the sun starts to set and you lose visibility of your terrain and have no landmarks to rely on. The strap is very comfortable and secure, worlds better than the lug-style band that comes with other Cores.
4. As a collector of watches, several of which have been Suunto models, I was drawn to the style of the Core model watches, and the yellow in particular.
5. I used to be a sport diver, but the last couple of decades have proven to take that particular hobby and put it on the back burner. I have other watches that can take much more depth than I can handle, so this isn’t much of a major deal for me, but it IS a nice addition.
6. I REALLY like the sunrise / sunset mode which is new to me (none of my previous models have that option). I also like the storm warning alarm option, which is again, really cool.
Invaluable for the true outdoor hiking enthusiast. When accuracy counts, I stick with Suunto, pure and simple. Again, this watch isn’t for everybody. Some complain that the cost is way too high, but again, if you factor in all that the Core can do–which is admittedly a LOT, the cost is understandable. I like the look & feel of the watch for every day use – not as large as I feared.
