Suunto Observer Stainless Steel Watch

Suunto Observer Stainless Steel Watch description

The Suunto Observer Watch combines accurate altimeter, barometer, and compass features with a burly stainless steel case and band for extra durability and casual style. This stainless steel altimeter watch also has a smaller case than most Suunto wrist top computers, which makes it a great choice for everyday wear as well as hiking, climbing, backpacking, and mountaineering. The Suunto Observer Watch includes multiple alarms to make sure you don't sleep through your 2:00 am alpine start. It also has an altimeter to track your vertical gain, a barometer to track the weather, and a compass to help you find your way.

This is an excellent watch for the outdoors enthusiast. Loaded with features that are relatively easy to use once you get familiar with the setting procedures (even has a little wallet card in case you forget how to set). The altimeter is so accurate it even works walking up and down a flight of stairs! The compass works flawlessly and the declination correction feature is a plus. The only issues I'd like to mention is the inaudible alarm and the altimeter and barometer do not work simultaneously. I would also suggest getting one with an elastomer band if you plan on getting face protectors for it...easier to put on. Other than that, this watch is everything I expected and more!
