Amazon.com Product Description
Navigate both mountain trails and city streets with ease with the Suunto Lumi Sportif wrist-top computer watch. Designed with smart, strong, passionate, and active women in mind, the Suunto Lumi Sportif features a built-in altimeter, barometer, compass, and weather indicator, all in a clean, fresh housing that's feminine but not frilly. In other words, the watch is tough enough to endure a day of hard play, yet versatile enough to make a sport-inspired fashion statement for a night out. And with a choice of different straps, pendants, or carabiner jackets, you can create a look to fit any activity.



The Suunto Lumi Sportif watch includes an altimeter, barometer, compass, and weather indicator.
The Lumi Sportif is outfitted with a built-in altimeter, which displays your current altitude, vertical gain or loss from the start of a hike or climb, and your vertical ascent and descent rate. Accurate to within 30,000 feet, the altimeter is an extremely valuable tool for mountaineering, backcountry skiing, and wilderness travel. The altimeter contributes to your excursion in several ways. If you're standing on or near an obvious geographic feature, such as a ridge, trail, or creek, the altimeter can alert you to your current elevation and help you find your position on a topographic map. Similarly, if you plan on climbing a slope to a certain elevation and then traversing, the Lumi Sportif can help you stay on course. And as a bonus, the watch includes a unique start-from-zero function, so you don't have to enter a reference altitude. Instead, with the single push of a button, the altimeter will begin tracking your ascent and descent.

The Lumi Sportif also includes a barometer, which measures and records air pressure to help you predict changing conditions--from sunny skies to hair-bending electrical storms. The barometer helps you decide whether to bring a soft shell or rain shell jacket when the skies look ominous, or even when to high-tail it back to the car. In general, low pressure brings inclement weather, while high pressure brings stability and clear skies. If you've arrived at camp and notice the pressure starting to plunge, it's probably a good idea to secure the tent and crawl in. Likewise, if you were on a climb, it would be prudent to find shelter and retreat. Even at home, the Lumi Sportif barometer can look beyond office walls, skyscrapers, and nearby hills to help you plan for upcoming activities.



The watch is compatible with a number of straps, pendants, and carabiners.
If you want a weather forecast that extends out a few hours, you can turn to the built-in weather trend indicator. The indicator shows the barometric history for the last three and six hours, helping you predict the weather with amazing accuracy. What's more, the watch doesn't give you a regional forecast posted earlier in the day, but rather the most current information about the weather directly overhead. In addition, the Lumi Sportif can sense an approaching squall even when the sky looks clear. This intelligent Storm Alarm--one of several intelligent features designed to keep you safe and secure--is activated by a rapid drop in air pressure over a three-hour period. Once the Lumi Sportif senses the change, the Storm Alarm sounds and flashes, letting you know that something unpleasant is fast approaching. And no outdoor watch is worth its salt without a digital compass, a great tool for keeping track of your direction while skiing, hiking, or exploring a new city. You can set and follow a bearing with a traditional rotating bezel, or simply point the top of the watch toward your intended destination and lock it in.

Additional features include several traditional watch functions, including dual times, a date display, and an alarm with a five-minute snooze; predicted times for sunrise and sunset to help you maximize your daylight hours; a day counter that keeps you abreast of an upcoming event; an automatic Alti/Baro mode that senses movement or lack thereof and switches between the altimeter and barometer accordingly; and the ability to function in English, German, French, and Spanish.

The Suunto Lumi Sportif comes equipped with a pendant and carabiner jacket, and is compatible with a number of other fashion-forward straps, pendants, and carabiners, depending on your taste. The Lumi Sportif carries a two-year warranty.

About Suunto
Suunto was founded in 1936 by outdoors man and a keen orienteering enthusiast, Tuomas Vohlonen, who had long been bothered by a problem: the inaccuracy of traditional dry compasses and their lack of steady needle operation. Being an engineer with an inventive turn of mind, he discovered and patented the production method for a much steadier needle, better readings, and a new level of accuracy. By 1950 the company was exporting compasses to over 50 countries around the world, including Canada and the United States. In 1952, Helsinki was hosting the Olympic Games, and the torches carried to light the Olympic flame were Suunto products. The next step was improving the stability and accuracy of marine compasses. The first marine compass, the Suunto K-12, was launched onto the market in 1953. In 1957, Suunto started manufacturing hypsometers, which measure the height of trees.

In the 1960s, the compass range grew further and Suunto introduced its first diving compass--initiated by the divers themselves. A British sports diver attached a Suunto compass to his wrist and found that the device also worked underwater. Thanks to his feedback and initiatives, the new business category was found. Suunto's exports and business grew steadily and Suunto then focused on combining its strength in precision mechanics with new skills in electronics. Accuracy, reliability, and ruggedness have been Suunto's key values from the very beginning of the company history.

Today, Suunto is a leading designer and manufacturer of sports instruments for training, diving, mountaineering, hiking, skiing, sailing, and golf. True to its roots, Suunto is today the world's biggest compass manufacturer. Prized for their design, accuracy and dependability, Suunto sports instruments combine the aesthetics and functionality of watches with sport-specific computers that help athletes at all levels analyze and improve performance. Headquartered in Vantaa, Finland, Suunto employs more than 500 people worldwide and distributes its products to nearly 60 countries. The company is a subsidiary of Helsinki-based Amer Sports Corporation with the sister brands Wilson, Salomon, Atomic, Precor, and Mavic.

1 out of 5 stars Cool watch, poor quality   January 21, 2009
Stephanie Hayes (St. Louis, MO)

So I really love this watch, when it works. Got Lumi #1 in March of 2008, the up button didn't work. Couldn't set up all the functions without the use of up so I sent it back to customer service. Probably took 4 weeks or so to have it returned to me. The just replaced the whole unit. Lumi #2 worked for about 5 months until last fall. The mode button was hard to use. So I returned it again, also took about four weeks and I received a brand new one again. So now it is January and Lumi #3 is completely dead. I took it to a jeweler who replaced the battery and still couldn't get it to turn on. Going to send it back in tomorrow. Just kinda stinks that somehow I have had 3 break on me in less than a year. Guess I will be with out a watch for another month or so.


5 out of 5 stars Fabulous Watch   January 9, 2009

I have owned this watch for 8 months. I bought it because I travel and wanted a compass on my watch. It has worked flawlessly. The battery ran out at month 7 so I replaced it. The back of the face opens with any coin and the batteries are flat watch batteries available at any drug store or supermarket. Suunto made it easy and simple to replace the battery without the need of special tools. The watch is larger than most women's watches. I have received many compliments on it. The alarm is plenty loud. I am not easy on stuff, but haven't scratched the face. I agree with other reviewers who complained about the band. The color is fabulous, but it cannot be cleaned. I am replacing my band this month.


1 out of 5 stars Not a real outdoor watch   September 29, 2008
Peng Ang (Red River Gorge, KY, USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The altimeter is not accurate at all, even when correctly used. Further proof that this is not just a fluke, my climbing partner had a Suunto Vector and we went through the same calibration before the climb (at the mountain hut of a known altitude) and when we arrived at the summit, his altimeter was spot on, the Lumi I had was waaaaaaay off (btw, we both wore the watches on the wrist and so temperature does not factor in here). The Lumi scratches super easily too. Getting to the altimeter calibration function is a pain. The proverbial straw was when I went swimming in the sea, the watch died. Only one conclusion possible: such a cute watch, not at all built to the needs of climbing. This is not a real outdoor-type watch. BTW, this is the first Suunto I have tried that was made in China (vs. Finland for all the older models).


5 out of 5 stars I love my Lumi.   September 17, 2008

I read some negative reviews about the Lumi before I decided I wanted one anyway, so I wanted to post my experiences with it. I have had mine for several months, and wear it almost everyday, with no problems so far.
Form/Function: It IS a big women's watch, but I quickly got used to it, and don't feel that it overwhelms my 5'5" frame. It's about the size of a men's Suunto Vector without the plastic bezel, and is not quite as thick. The watch itself is well made and nice looking, and the display is easy to read and well thought out. I wouldn't go climbing rocks with it on, as the metal case and glass face would scratch, but it can handle some pretty hard knocks. When I got it, I read the manual once, and don't have much trouble remembering where things are, or how to change the settings. I use the barometer setting daily, and don't remember to reset it as often as I should, but it does show pressure trends accurately. When I took it to the mountains backpacking, I reset the elevation at the trailhead. The first afternoon, while climbing, the elevation couldn't settle and seemed to be a few hundred feet off. On the advice of other Suunto users, I took it off for the night. The next day, the elevation was spot on (verified by topo map) and continues to be accurate when I faithfully reset it. (Pressure changes will throw it off unless reset) It seems it needed to find its place in the world, or something. I love the sunrise/sunset and date countdown features, and the compass is helpful for the general direction. The alarms are even nice sounding.
The Negatives: I chose the Sportif, with the orange buckle band after reading others had trouble with the clasp-type bands. It is secure, and although the extra band doesn't stay in the keeper very well it works just fine. Be advised- it's not red...it's fluorescent orange. The orange band combined with the size of the watch makes it pretty obvious, but it's something I just forget about until someone asks me what it is. I do prefer the velcro type replacement bands, but they cannot be used with the Lumi's screw band attachments. Overall, I really like my Lumi and can live with the band. I give it 5 stars even with the funky orange color.



2 out of 5 stars Interesting concept but would not recommend   May 15, 2008
Chacogrl (San Antonio, TX)

I've had several Suunto watches and was unimpressed with the Lumi. First of all it's very heavy! And huge! The features are awesome but the sacrifice (size, weight) aren't worth the trade. I'm an averaged sized female (5'7" 145lbs) and the heft of the watch made my hand fall asleep after 5 minutes. I am accustomed to wearing men's watches that are too big for my wrist but this one was too much even for me. Also, I was expecting a red--(true red) watch band but when it arrived it was more like crash-test dummy orange!
