Very VERY solid purchase. Unless you have small hands. January 9, 2008

Really like this product. I have had NO trouble getting all of the functions to work properly. There's a trick to it though. READ THE BLOODY DIRECTIONS. Yeah, I know it's a book, and sure it's thick, but there's about fifteen pages of actual directions in about thirty languages, so just suck it up already, complainers. Sorry for the rant. I was worried that this watch would be tough to get functioning from other reviews. Not so. It's pretty big, but light weight and sturdy. Gtting used to the novel second hand takes a few days, but as I'm in the vet-medical bizz, I use this watch in anesthesia to time recordings, and every day without worrying about some critter scratching the face or something. Good stuff. I'd say for the price it'd be tough to do better.
Nice, but... January 8, 2008

This is a really cool gadget, and it does all the stuff the previous reviewers have stated. Three annoyances: 1) plastic crystal. 2) temp. sensor is on the underside, so all it registers is your skin temp. HEY SUUNTO: PUT THE SENSOR ON THE TOP!! You may have to wait for 15 minutes for the sensor to read actual temp. once you have removed the watch 3) the barometer is consistently 15 mbar low. I check this against the airport weather readings, as well as a Kestrel weather instrument. Having to constantly re-adjust your reference altitude is also somewhat annoying, but it's a necessary process until the wrist-mounted radar altimeter is introduced. The new model ("core") is supposed to have a motion sensor so that the barometer and altimeter readings are unrelated. Hope it works. Oh yeah: this watch isn't as godawful big as I expected. I have tiny little girly wrists and this thing doesn't look like a trash can lid on me or anything like that. Also: don't pay more than $150.

I bought my Suunto in NOV 2006. I liked it right away. I am in the military and also love exploring the mountians. I have abused this watch and its still going. This is the longest I have had a watch without destroying it and the only one I have ever liked to wear. I think that it looks awesome. Although I do have to say I was a little worried about the size (I have small wrists) but its very easy to wear and highly functional. Unlike most watches the buttons are easy to press, even with gloves on. The display is huge, and very easy to read night and day. Once you get the features calibrated, they are also very user friendly.
The only reason I can't give it five stars is the face and the case are not as bulletproof as they could be. My face is scratched and the body has plently of dents and dings. Of course I have been very rough on it.
Overall I would definitely recommend this watch to military, backpackers, hikers, or anybody that wants a rugged watch, that will make them stand out.

I have tried for over a month now to either get my money back or the product. This company has not responded to any of my e-mails. This is the only way to contact them. There is no phone number. I would NOT recommand this company for anythhing or any company who does not have a phone number!

Have owned this watch for about 6 months. I think this watch is an excellent outdoor/hiking piece of equipment and there is not a lot I would change about it. I would have liked to have dual time incorporated into the watch for when I travel to other time zones, I would have liked a more scratch resistant crystal (It has a plastic "crystal") although the bezel is slightly above the crystal, stopping most damage, it is pretty easily scratched if one is not careful and finally a more robust/rugged strap would have been appreciated. On the whole it is a great watch for the money, I paid $199. I could have had all of the extra features by getting an Observer or X-Lander instead of the Vector. I would also have had to pay at least $100 more.
I would recommend this watch to a freind
