Disappointing

Ranked #403 - Altimeters
August 14, 2009
I was given this watch as a gift and was initially delighted. It is somewhat bulky, but pretty cool looking.
However.....
As a first-time Suunto user, I found the user's manual to be woefully lacking. I was also disappointed in the lack of Mac support.

Suunto will be going to a web-based interface, which will solve all the PCvs.Mac issues. Should be out spring '10. You can still use Google Earth and Topo interface, just not the Trek Manager, which is basically just graphs.

The paper user's manual is near 1/2" thick, and has 8 languages - all of which give you VERY little to work with. I downloaded the pdf version from Suunto's website, and it's much more detailed. I'm a first-time Suunto watch owner, but I've had a field compass, which also had a very lacking manual. Something about Suunto, I guess. End of story, if you want to buy Suunto, then eat your weaties because you'll need all the brain power you have to figure your gadgets out.
