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!

I have had mine for four years and I am having problems with it. When the battery died because of all the sweat and dirt I had a terrible time to change the battery. It has been all over the world and first two years it was good but now I can not calibrate the compass and I can not go through the features. Like I said the first two years were good but now I am looking for something different. If this is not going to get hard use then go for it.

I have had my Observer for a couple of years now, and love it more than ever. I own numerous watches, but I find myself going for the Observer on a daily basis. For everyday use, I love the minimalistic look and feel. You also get the silent recognition nods from other outdoor enthusiasts in their daily routine as they walk past or stand near you.For the outdoors, I have put this through every test: kayak, canoe, hiking, skiing, camping, cycling, snowshoeing, it doesn't matter what you do, the watch will take it. It's been smashed on rocks, streets, and even my car door (the door lost), and still looks great. All it needs is a fresh battery to keep it alive.
