Sports reviews of Suunto Vector Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, Compass, and Thermometer (xBlack)

Customer Review: Very cool watch indeed
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I have been looking for a watch with all these features. I looked at the Casio watches and they just did not have the look I wanted, even though some were solar powered. Cool feature but you pay for it.

I looked at the Suunto Core and X-lander as other possible buys, but at the time of purchase the Core was $250.00 and the X-lander was a little over $300.00. So I felt the Vector at $151.00 was the wise choice for me on value. It has the same offerings as the others.

I also bought an extra battery, which comes in a kit with a new rubber gasket. Some folks have complained about the short life of the battery. But I believe this could be from excessive back lighting.

Also, another concern is the size; yes it has a big watch body. I have medium size wrists I do not think it looks overwhelming for my wrist size. This brings another concern to light, the size of the glass and being subject to scratches. I feel that all watches have the potential to scratch; this watch invites more rigorous outdoor actives that could led to more wear.

It takes a few minutes of reading the instructional booklet and you are up and running. There are other features that require a little bit more reviewing.

Overall I like this watch, I think it is light weight and full of useful features.

Description of Suunto Vector Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, Compass, and Thermometer (xBlack)

Vector was the 1st multi functioning wristop computer from Suunto. Functions include but are not limited to Time, Altimeter, barometer, compass
The Suunto Vector X Wristop Computer is the answer to the challenges faced by outdoor enthusiasts all around the world. To play safely in the wilderness, it's vital to know your playground, and the Suunto Vector X can help you to do just that.

A truly amazing instrument, the Suunto Vector X is designed to give you the most accurate, real-time information about your surroundings that you can get anywhere. Regardless of whether you are climbing mountains, riding a muddy bike track, or skiing off piste, the Suunto Vector X will never let you down. It combines an altimeter, barometer, and an electronic compass with all the features of a sophisticated sports watch.

The clear logic of the user interface makes Suunto Vector X a real help on the mountain. Its ergonomic design with a large display, electro-luminescent backlight, convenient control buttons, and user-replaceable battery makes it easy to use even in the harshest and toughest conditions.

For backcountry and skiing enthusiasts, the Suunto Vector X is loaded with features that will help to keep you safe in the most demanding of situations. The watch's altimeter has a range up to 9,000 meters (29,500 feet), with a one-meter resolution. It also features an altitude difference measurement function for following vertical progress between stages. It has an automatic 24-hour memory that stores the altitude and ascent/descent rate for every hour and an adjustable altitude alarm and several memory functions. With the logbook function, for instance, you can record total and cumulative vertical ascents and descents, as well as the number of runs skied. The barometric functions provide you with valuable information for forecasting weather changes. Information on the present sea level pressure helps you read and understand the barometric pressure at high altitudes.

The Vector's compass shows the cardinal or half-cardinal point abbreviated and indicates north with an arrow. It can be set to track a certain bearing, and graphically show the difference between it and the actual bearing. This is a valuable tool when trying to get back on track after minor or major detours in the terrain. The declination adjustment function allows the user to correct the difference between true north and magnetic north. These features all combine to provide you with vital information that will help you make safe and responsible decisions during your excursions. The Suunto Vector X automatically records barometric data for the past four days: the first six hours in one-hour intervals and after that in six-hour intervals. When the reference altitude is set correctly, the instrument also shows the present sea level pressure, which makes it easier to read and understand the barometric pressure at high altitudes.

In addition to its invaluable outdoor-related functions, the Suunto Vector X also displays normal time. It has three daily alarms, a calendar programmed to the year 2089, and a stopwatch with split time measurement and a countdown timer. The time can be shown in 12 or 24-hour format. In short, the Suunto Vector is an outdoor enthusiast's dream -- a beautifully engineered watch that's versatile enough for the world's highest peaks as well as everyday use.
