Product Description The watch that started it all! Suunto's original Wristop Computer, the Vector changed the face of sport watches forever with its groundbreaking combination of features, including an altimeter, barometer, electronic compass, digital log book, and watch. Introduced in 1998, the Vector was the first watch to make it to the summit of Mt. Everest. In addition, the Vector won the prestigious European Outdoor Award - Product of the Year in 1999/2000.Today, the Vector is still considered the standard by which other sport watches are judged, and it remains a favorite everywhere, from the mountain tops to the Marine Corps. While not as feature-laden as many of Suunto's newer models, the Vector is a great watch for anyone looking for a high quality, general-purpose sport watch at a reasonable price.
Amazon.com Product Description For all serious outdoor activities, the Suunto Vector watch provides everything you need when hiking, climbing, back country skiing, or traveling through any tough terrain. With a range of up to 29,500 ft, the altimeter works within all fourteen of the over-8000 meter summits in the world. Altitude difference measurement can follow vertical progress between stages, an automatic 24-hour memory stores the altitude and ascent/descent rate for every hour, and the watch also features an adjustable altitude alarm, among other memory functions. The logbook lets you record both total and cumulative vertical ascents and descents, and the number of runs you've skied while on the slopes. Total displays include altitude, vertical speed, altitude alarm, logbook, vertical difference measurement, automatic 24 hour altitude memory, temperature compensation. Its logbook capacity is 8 kB, recording intervals of 20 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 60 minutes, with respective times 16.5 hours, 50 hours, 20 days, and 125 days. Current barometric pressure and temperature is also displayed to help forecast weather changes. The Vector automatically records barometric data for the past four days: the first six hours in one-hour intervals, then in six-hour intervals after that. It can also show the present sea level pressure, for greater understanding of barometric pressure at high altitudes. Total displays include sea level pressure, absolute pressure, pressure difference, pressure trend indicator, 4-day barometric memory, and temperature. The Vector's electronic compass uses cardinal or half-cardinal points, and the North-South arrow. It can also be set to track a specific bearing, to keep you on direction in more remote terrain. There's also a declination adjustment that lets the user correct the difference between true North and magnetic North. When used simply as a watch, the Suunto Vector also displays the time in 12 or 24-hour format, with three daily alarms, a calendar pre-programmed through the year 2089, and a stopwatch with split time measurement and a countdown timer. The watch features an electro-luminescent backlight, and a user-replaceable battery.

So far, so good July 3, 2010 Chad Morris (Falls Church, VA USA) I've only had this watch for a month, but so far it's been a solid timepiece and a good replacement for my previous athletic watch. I've used it for a recent century ride and hikes in the Rockies and Shenandoahs. The altimeter seems fairly accurate, though it works better when you set the altitude before using it (i.e., at the start of a hike or ride).
Excellent timepiece May 2, 2010 Christopher T. Beland (Bozeman, MT USA) This is truly an exceptional wristwatch/computer that will no doubt live up to the Suunto namsake. GET THIS WATCH! Enough said......
Too Complicated to Use March 19, 2010 John B. Kirby I am pretty technical, but this watch is very very difficult to use. I just wanted to check my altitude for skiing, and even when I figure it out, I have to read the manual the next time I ski
Techno watch that is not backlight February 10, 2010 C. bohn 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Incredible that a manufacturer can produce a watch that is not backlight. That means at night the watch is not illuminated hence the watch can not be read. It requires you to push a button for 2 seconds and then the watch will illuminate for a whole five seconds before it goes dark again. I thought they invented this technology in the 80's. The watch was a pain in the ass to use at night and almost worthless and I ended up sending it back.
