Amazon.com Product Description
Bring together style and functionality with the Suunto Observer wrist-top computer, an altimeter, barometer, and compass in one. This Observer model comes with a stainless-steel housing and stainless steel elastomer strap and is one-third smaller than earlier Suunto wrist-top computers, ideal for those wanting a more compact instrument. Waterproof to 100 feet, the Observer is designed for outdoor use with a rugged, shock-resistant body and backlit dial.

Suunto has improved its altimeter to allow the Observer's logbook to display and record at the same time. The altimeter allows you to view the current altitude with a range up to 29,500 feet and a resolution of 10 feet. The Observer features 24 hours of logbook memory, and the improved logbook stores up to 40,000 feet of data. With the push of a button, you can measure ascent and descent rates between stages with altitude simultaneously. The barometer allows you to measure the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, measure absolute pressure, and follow changes in barometric pressure and temperature.

The Observer's compass shows directional bearing in degrees and cardinal or half-cardinal point. There is a north-south arrow, and a bearing tracking function displays locked bearing, actual bearing, and the difference between these declination adjustments. The compass's bubble level ensures a reading accuracy to within 2 to 3 degrees.

Watch functions include displays for day, time, and date with three programmable alarms plus a stopwatch and countdown timer. The Observer comes with a replaceable battery, which lasts up to 18 months, and a one-year warranty.

Product Description
The Suunto Observer Watch combines accurate altimeter, barometer, and compass features with a burly stainless steel case and band for extra durability and casual style. This stainless steel altimeter watch also has a smaller case than most Suunto wrist top computers, which makes it a great choice for everyday wear as well as hiking, climbing, backpacking, and mountaineering. The Suunto Observer Watch includes multiple alarms to make sure you don't sleep through your 2:00 am alpine start. It also has an altimeter to track your vertical gain, a barometer to track the weather, and a compass to help you find your way.

5 out of 5 stars Good Product   May 11, 2008
I was impressed with the display. It is very easy to read in all light conditions.


4 out of 5 stars Great Watch   May 6, 2008
This is a great watch, especially for small to medium build guys. It's a good size watch but it's not nearly the dinner plate replacement that some of it's ABC brethren are.


2 out of 5 stars Band is not Ti   April 27, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

Caveat emptor. The band is mostly resin with some Ti shards. Alarm is inaudible. Otherwise a good timepiece.


2 out of 5 stars Nice case, inacceptable band   April 27, 2008
I've used this watch for 4 years now and I like the case very much. But the band, either Titanium or SS ( practically the same ) is definitely unacceptable. I've changed it 3 times and lost a watch to it.
Other annoyances :
+ Watch is not full SS or Titanium.
+ Alarm is inaudible




3 out of 5 stars great watch - horrible band   April 10, 2008
I'm on my second Observer. The first one had the wrist band fail after about two years and REI was pleasant enough to replace the watch for me. The second one had the leather band instead of the polymer band. I was hoping the leather would be more durable. No such luck. The leather band failed after one year of normal wear.

However, the watch itself rocks. I wear it as a daily watch but I also use the altimeter function extensively (primarily for tracking vertical feet skied). It is perfect for my needs. I just wish they could make a band that lasted. Why don't they do a simple all metal band? The stainless band on my Tag has lasted 10 years.....
