Gear Review
Solid Watch
By Tommy Hunke
February 11, 2009
I've had mine for a year now with no problems. I went with the observer because it has the lowest profile of any of Suunto's altimeter watches and looks professional when I wear it to work. It's the first electronic product I have owned that I have actually read the manual for, and I recommend that anyone who buys a Suunto do the same. Also it is important to note that the altimeter needs to be recalibrated whenever the weather changes and the thermometer will not be accurate unless the watch is not on your wrist (the only bummer, but it makes sense). Other than that, it's way fun. I am all the time checking out my altitude at different places and checking the barometer to see if a storm is rolling in. I am very happy with the Observer and hope to get many years out of it.
