Untitled ReviewWhat I love about it:
- Great construction, feels very solid with a titanium band
- Nicely takes some serious abuse such as crack climbing
- Lots of easy to use features
- Oversized buttons which help a lot in the dark or if you wear gloves
- Compass and barometer are very accurate
- Good looking!
What I don't like about it:
- Altimeter is calculating your elevation in 20' increments. Comparable Suunto watches are more accurate.
- Thermometer is useless while you wear the watch since it shows you the temperature of your body instead of the surrounding air. In order to use it you have to take your watch off your hand for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Alarm is a joke (very quiet). I am never able to wake up from it.
Would I buy it again? Perhaps, but not before a serious evalation of similar Suunto products.
