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.

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.

Sweet piece of technology.......2007-05-07

I have had this watch for a couple of months now and I really love it. I mainly got it because it had all the features that I wanted, plus it wasn't like wearing a laptop on my wrist. The other watches that I looked at had the features, but they were simply too large for everyday use. The titanium looks great and is incredibly light. It is phenonmenal that Suunto was about to jam all that technology into this little package. They did a great job with the styling. I wear it in an office environment everyday. The compass comes in handy when I get lost between the restroom and my cube, too. :)

No complaints here. Outstanding watch.

Cool looking... but definite drawbacks.......2007-02-10

Bought this watch after my beloved (plastic case) highgear axis finally bit the dust. I've only played with it for a couple of days, but here's my take:

Pros:

1. Really great looking.
The metal case is the perfect size (the other suunto watch-- the vector-- is way too big for me and looks ridiculous) This one looked "right" ad soon as I put it on.

2. Some nice features.
I especially like the compass bearing tracking (keeps you on your bearing by showing the differential). Sweet! it will probably take some time to just learn everything.

3. The band is easily adjusted to fit
No jeweler necessary. It also looks very nice. However, see the caveats below regarding the band...

Cons:

1. No altimter/ barometric graph.
My highgear had a nifty graph which showed the trend over the past couple of hours. No such luck here, only a 3 position arrow sign. It's possible to see the historical barometric pressure, but not graphically.

2. Weather station is crude compared to highgear.
Again, my highgear has neat weather forecasting icons (which were amazingly accurate!). No such luck with the suunto.

3. Don't make a mistake when trimming the band!
Adjusting to fit is quick and easy, but keep in mind you do it by CUTTING segments of the elastomer strap... don't cut too much because there is NO going back! Also, leave some space if you plan to gain weight...

4. Stainless???? Not really.
As mentioned, the band is elastomer with a couple of metal plates on the top. The back of the case is all plastic. Also disturbing is the advice in the manual "the buttons shall not be pressed if exposed to water in any circumstances" Geez!

5. White on black display
Neat looking, but I have to admit, much harder to read than the standard black on white.

With all my whining, you'd think I'd return it... but believe it or not, the looks outweigh the drawbacks (I know, I'm shallow.) Plus I do like the compass features. So overall, I'm sticking with it!

Suunto Observer.......2006-08-10

Having had my Suunto Observer for over a month now, I like the features this wrist computer offers. However they are the same functions the Vector offers with a few differences. I dislike the dark background with lighter characters/digits in an LCD display; it is harder to read compared to the Suunto Vector that has the light background and dark characters. The alarm is quieter than the Vector, but the Observer does have the lower profile. The Observer has a double clip closed loop wristband while the Vector has a standard buckle wrist strap closure.
Unless you want to be observed as fashionable while having a neat gadget, I would go with the less expensive Vector.

Great Watch!.......2006-07-13

I have had this watch for 6 months now and during the height of the climbing season I can say I love it. 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 with the steel model.

I highly reccomend this watch!

Great Looks and Potential, But there's some buts..........2006-07-10

This watch has a great look and much potential 'under the hood', but I am having to return mine because of a defective altimeter - it gives readings of up to 1000ft difference in altitude over the course of a few days in the same location during the same kind of weather.

I was also disappointed to find that the alarm was barely audible - certainly not loud enough to get my attention if it is under my sleeve - and the metal finish of the watch and band is extremely scratch-prone. I cannot recommend this watch for the price it sells for, even if the altimeter worked correctly.
