More than an attractive and versatile watch, the Suunto Vector is a combination of instruments. With an altimeter barometer and compass the Vector also displays time in 12 or 24-hour time format. It c Designed for the mountaineering, outdoor traveller, this hardy wrist-mounted computer provides all the information you'll need for any adventure, including a digital altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, and a regular watch. It's backlit for easy viewing, and water resistant down to 100 feet below surface. The altimeter includes functions showing current altitude up to 29,500 ft/9,000 m, and your ascent/descent rate in feet or meters per minute. Its difference measurement function allows zeroing of the altimeter for following your vertical progress between various destination stages, and the automatic 24-hour memory stores your altitude and ascent/descent rate for every hour continuously, with a logbook that stores total ascent/descent, average ascent/descent rate, and even the number of runs you've skied for the duration of the log. The barometer provides absolute pressure range from 8.90 - 32.40 in Hg / 300 - 1100 mbar, and sea level pressure range 27.25 - 31.90 inHg / 921-1080 mbar. You'll also get 0.05 inHg / 1 mbar resolution, and a difference measurement function that allows zeroing of the barometer for following overnight changes in barometric pressure and temperature. There's also an automatic 4-day memory--which can store pressure information in one hour intervals for the last six hours, then in six hour intervals after that--and a handy, adjustable, sea-level pressure function. The compass function includes bearing in degrees and cardinal or half-cardinal point, a North-South arrow, and a bearing tracking function which displays locked bearing, actual bearing, and the difference between these declination adjustments. There's also a bubble level to indicate level position to ensure +/- 2-3 degree reading accuracy, and a declination adjustment. The watch function provides a basic 12/24 hour clock, a calendar pre-programmed to 2089, 3 daily alarms, and a stopwatch and countdown timer that both run for 23:59:59 hours. You'll also get a thermometer, and the watch comes with a user-replacable battery. All this is packed into a 1.9 oz. device.

Second one I've purchased
This is the second Vector I have purchased. My first six year old one has gotten beat up and the compass no longer works. The watch has a large dial and is a little bulky, but you get used to it. You trade that for a large easy to read dial. The watch has more features than you can use and a large instruction manual to go with it. It has the compass, barometer, temperature, and altimeter. The 6 hour barametric pressure history box is nice to warn you of incoming bad weather. The watch is a nice instrument, but I would warn against abusing it. It is shock resistant, not shock proof!

Repeat Buyer
This is my second Vector. I bought the first one about 20 years ago and it worked (nearly) flawlessly until recently, when it could not be convinced that the day was not 0 January 2000 or that it didn't need to reset the time every few hours. I no longer need all the bells and whistles this watch provides, but have become spoiled by how easy it is to read, how intuitive the controls are, the quality of the (on-line) manual, and the accuracy of its timekeeping. I normally didn't bother to reset the time between battery changes; it lost or gained only a second or two per year. And if you DO need the compass and/or altimeter, they work very well also. What it lacks in visual elegance it more than makes up for in utility.

New Vectors have short bands
This was a replacement for a lost, earlier model Vector I had for 10+ years. The wrist band on the new replacement Vector is thinner and much shorter. I contacted Suunto about buying a replacement but they advised me that the old style, longer band is not available. I will probably end up replacing the band with an aftermarket product, I like the new watch but I liked the original more.

awesome!
I ordered this watch as a gift for my husband. He has had it almost a year and truly loves the watch. I would highly recommend this product and he would as well. He has been able to get it wet in the shower and swimming but was advised to not get in the ocean with it - as we know people who have had bad experiences with the watch and salt water. He too said he would highly recommend this watch!

Poor documentation. Accurate
Cannot track accumulated gain *during* climb: can only see current elevation. Accumulated gain feature results in reset.Poor documentation. Accurate.

Product came before expected and is in great condition - watch works great
Product came before expected and is in great condition - watch works great. The color wasn't available after we purchased, however they guys at house of scuba contacted us right away and offered us another colour - which my boy friend even likes more. Thanks!

Altimeter does not stay
Altimeter will not hold elevation , I have set it using bench marks around town and it changes from morning to night.If I set it at 620 meters, go down hill, it can be 595 or 645 meters.Rubber strap was a way to short and cut off the blood flow in my arm.No back up or give a crap from Suunto.Replacement strap was apiece of Velcro that was also to short. Everything stuck to it because so much was exposedand only the tip of the strap could connect.Tinny screw fell out of watch band pin and I have no idea where to get another.Wish I had never hit Suunto on amazon web site,and saved my money. Over $ 200.00 down the toilet.Will try to avoid Amazon in the future.A very dissatisfied customer!!
