Suunto Vector Altimeter Watch
Nice - too small.

I really like this, but it is just too big for my wrist (5'5", 125) - not so much the diameter (though that is pretty big) but more the watch's profile height; it is totally messing up all my jacket/glove interfaces. I do like the buttons and functions - well thought out and good display. I would like to keep it but I'm going to return it in favor of the more low profile X3 (loose the compass but gain HR capabilities). We'll see how that goes.
