Amazon.com Product Description
Bring together style and functionality with the Suunto Observer wrist-top computer, an altimeter, barometer, and compass in one. This premium Observer model comes in a titanium housing with a titanium band 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.

Suunto Observer TT Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass (Titanium) Reviews
| 75 of 78 people found the following review helpful  Elegant, compact, accurate, and useful, By This review is from: Suunto Observer TT Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass (Titanium) (Apparel) I fell in love with this watch when I tried on the stainless steel version in a local retailer. The only problem I had with it is that it just seemed too heavy on my arm. Then I discovered the titanium version that is much lighter than the stainless steel version, but sticker shock initially put me off. However, this watch is so handsome and useful to me that I finally broke down and ordered the pricey titanium version, and I confess that I could not be more pleased with it. Some may find the gleam of the stainless steel version initially more attractive, but the subdued titanium finish has an understated elegance to it that will have longer staying power than the flash of the stainless steel model, and the ounce difference in weight for me makes the difference between a burden on my arm and something I hardly even notice.From the reviews, it appears that many users are confused by the clasp, claiming it doesn't allow enough clearance to get the watch on and off. This confused me...

There are a few minor shortcomings, however. - The user interface is poorly designed. Some of the features will be completely inaccessible to you unless you have a photographic memory or have the manual in your hands. - The thermometer is on your wrist. This makes it an inaccurate reference for determining the existing ambient temperature, or your body temperature. To get an accurate reading of the ambient temperature, it's best to remove the watch, and let it sit for a while. - A lack of a count-down timer. (However, there is an alarm) - Very quiet alarm, inaudible in louder settings. The truly disappointing component of this watch is the bad strap design. - It costs $120 to replace (1/3rd the price of the whole watch!) After scouring the Internet and Ebay, I was completely...

It does everything it it claims plus looks great. I had a Avocet wrist altimeter for 10 years before this and the Suunto is much better and more accurate. Yes it does take some study and getting used to but if you make the effort it will reward you. So why do I like it?1) It looks great, small enough to not grab attention (like the funny looking bigger watches) but classy. Have not found scratching to be a problem even with rock climbing if you are careful. 2) The controls make sense. After having the Avocet this has multiple screens that if you use them for a time you don't even have to pause to find what you are looking for. 3) Very accurate. I climb much during the year and it is as close as a altimeter will get to accurate. I compare the readings with my friends GPS and we are always within 50 feet or less. 4) Being a mountaineer, I love the lightness of it compared... Read more |
