Suunto Vector Altimeter Watch Review
Suunto currently has the Suunto Core, the Suunto Lumi, and the Suunto T-series in it's constantly evolving and innovative product lineup. Most outdoor enthusiasts don't know the history behind Suunto, or how they came to produce the Suunto Vector.
Suunto is a 75 year old company - founded in 1936 - as a compass manufacturer. Suunto gained worldwide recognition by producing a high quality assembly line liquid filled compass. As the years progressed, Suunto made the leap into dive computers, and eventually entered the altimeter watch and outdoor computer market. The first in their line of outdoor watches? The Suunto Vector.
After a decade as the market leader in altimeter watches, read on to see the Suunto Vector features that have made it the popular altimeter watch on the market.
Obviously, the main reason people buy an altimeter watch is for the device's altitude tracking features. The Suunto Vector is loaded - with a total range of greater than 29K feet, a single day memory, and elevation difference feature, the Suunto Vector is set to meet all your outdoor information needs.
Who would not want to know when a storm is rolling in? The Suunto Vector barometric pressure feature allows you to keep an eye on changing meteorological conditions. Read up a little before leaving and you'll know when to head indoors, or when it is safe to continue your journey.
Many people buy an altimeter watch also for the compass feature. The Suunto Vector comes equipped with a digital compass. Be careful using it too often though as the compass is a huge battery drain - you would not want to be stuck in the wild with a digital compass only that will not turn on!
The Suunto Vector comes loaded with other features as well. One of the most compelling reasons to add this watch to your gear staple is it's long tested reliability. More than likely you'll be using your Vector for a long time without any issues!
The Vector retails for just under $200, a great deal for such a well tested safety device.
