Suunto Vector is a wonderful watch
Burt Hopkins: 
The Suunto Vector is a wonderful watch, the greatest feature of which is its ability to forecast the weather. Using the barometer mode and knowing what rising and falling pressure means gives you a heads-up on what weather is likely to come.The large display is very welcome to my aging eyes!Others commented on how uncomfortable the original wristband was, so I went with the velcro band and I find that, while better than the original, it's a bit too tight for my liking.
First Impressions...
T.S.K.: 
This "wrist computer" is large, but necessary to see its many readings. The stopwatch displays the time, which separates the hours and minutes from the seconds; the stopwatch should be the main reading. The altimeter is affected by air pressure, so its accuracy is questionable, with frequent resets required. It begs the question as to its usefulness. The barometer displays a trend for the last six hours, which is helpful. The compass is easy to read. I'll test another altimeter for comparison.
Vector, my choice
pHILP: 
Have mine for 6 or seven years and it has lived up to it's reputation. I am getting ready to buy a new one. Heed the warning about not leaving it in the car. My temperature sensor is stuck at 104F thus affecting the altimeter. The accuracy has been phenomenal I stood atop Quandary Peak and my Vector was within 50'of what the marker said and a guy standing next to me with a GPS unit that was 300' off. I have looked at several others but none compare in my opinion.

trip was skunked, but on the way there the suunto altimax watch performed quite well. altimeter was very accurate and so was the barometer. thrilled to have this piece of equipment.

The Vector watch gives you everything you need. I have made it through three demanding desert-seven-day races and the Vector fit the bill. Easy to understand-no advance degrees needed- and an intuitive interface makes using it a treat and it is easy to recalibrate for those of us who venture out of N.America. Also, with the info provided you can track weather trends that can really help you out. Happy Trekking.
