Suunto Lumi Altimeter Watch

Suunto Lumi Altimeter Watch description

The Suunto Lumi Altimeter Watch combines casual class and technical features to get the job done in the mountains, at the office, or out to dinner.

Bottom Line: Whether you're going climbing or heading to work, strap the Suunto Lumi Altimeter Watch around your wrist before you leave the house.

I won't go into too much detail, since I'll be repeating just about every other review. I love the watch, but the strap sucks. I wish I would have gotten the one with the black strap, because this one is turning colors already. It is red-orange, and the edges are turning brown. Also, this one is the regular strap with a buckle, and it's really hard to keep the tail in the keeper, its constantly sliding off. I put a rubber grommet on the strap to keep this from happening. I still would buy this watch, but get the other type of strap (the terra or florette).

I LOVE this watch. I love the customizable bands on the Lumi- a little cutting and I am stoked as I have such a small wrist to spend a few minutes getting it right was well worth it. I love the way it looks and its so easy to use-For a techy altimeter watch the Lumi has some serious sex appeal.. I am loving it so far.

Strap broke on first use, altimeter and compass wildly inaccurate!

I have a Lumi with Florette band. Bought it back in September 2007 when it first came out because my husband has Suunto Observer and he is very happy with it. I needed similar watch but none of the good brands made one for women. The computer is OK, works as described in the specifications. Would benefit from some additional features like 2 or more alarms, countdown w/ repeat feature, something that would show me on the main screen what time the alarm would go off, as well as an option to turn the alarm on/off certain days of the week or for the weekend. All in all, I am happy with the computer. However, I had issues with the butterfly clasp since day one. The slightest tension or a touch of a feather would make it pop up. That is how I got the glass scratched. Wanted to have it repaired but the closest authorized service is in ... UT (I am in PA). I did not want to go without the watch for 2 weeks so I hesitated sending it. Did not want to spend extra $100 for a new band either. That clasp issue turned out to be way too annoying and I finally decided to send my Lumi in for repair. According to DHL the package was delivered last Monday, 4/21/08. As of today, 4/28/08 I have not been sent confirmation from Suunto, did not get a phone call. Nothing. Total blackout. Called Suunto Cust. Svs to follow up today. Apparently, they are unable to repair the clasp. Will put on a new band. However, the Florette is backordered. Will be delivered sometime in the middle of May. Which means that I will have to wait for a month (or more!) to have my watch back... I am not the only one with this issue. Read other people's reviews, they also complained about the band. There is no way that Suunto does not know about the clasp issue. If they really respected and appreciated their customers, Suunto should have sent each one of us who bought a faulty clasp Florette a new Sportif band, free of charge. To make it up for the everyday frustration (and the additional one month without a watch during the repair) we had to go through after having paid more than $300 for the Lumi. That is the right thing to do if they are to have loyal customers. At this point both my husband and I are seriously reconsidering our loyalty to Suunto. I don't even want to think how they would have treated me if I had a more serious issue with the wrist-top computer. What will you do, Suunto? Are you customer-centered or self-centered?

First of all, I wish Suunto would get it together and revise this watch because I love the way it looks.Issue #1: The band. You have to cut it to fit and there is only a tiny margin for error. Too much band left and the clasp won't close. Too little and you cut straight through the hole for the pin. (These two points are less than 1/8 inch apart.) Twice I've had the pin come loose on one side - thankfully that was pointed out before the watch completely came off and disappeared.Issue #2: The 'up' button stops working in the cold. I was at about 10,000 feet in snowy weather and the button would not adjust the altimeter at all. Thought it was completely broken until I skiied down to a warmer level, where it worked. (It was above 10 degrees up there, easily.)Issue #3: The crystal. About a week ago I noticed a scratch. I recalled another review on a different site that talked about the same issue. In the past month, I have done nothing more rigorous than working, grocery shopping, running and swimming. The 'scratch' revealed itself to be a crack in the crystal yesterday when I noticed it had grown. In the last 24 hours, the crack has progressed and now extends the entire width of the face. Awful.Thank heavens the retailers offer 100% satisfaction... but I worried that I was going to be out the cost of a new crystal and waiting for Suunto to get the job done in a timely fashion - which I've heard isn't so timely.I think I'll have to choose another watch.I'mm bummed - this is such a great looking watch with lots of good features.
