Suunto Vector of Year 2000

By Marty Ranked #225 - Altimeters March 10, 2011

I have owned my Suunto Vector watch since January 2000. The battery cover looks very used and the seal under the cover is still there. I'm a surveyor and use the barometer-temperature functions to set up my transit in the field. By the way, Suunto makes the best hand compass out there (the KB-14) and likewise the compass on the Vector is OK. I have had the compass to let me down a few times. Once was low batteries. Another was out-of-calaberation, for some reason. When my equipment let's me down one time (in the Dolly Sods Wilderness, in front of the other fellows), I must deduct a star. The altimeter is great for hiking in mountains, and my most used function other than the watch. The watch theometer works best hanging on a branch or in the tent, and appears to be accurate. I've been thinking about replacing mine, for another brand, but I am afraid I would be taking a steep backwards. This watch just keeps on going. Great outdoor device and a watch too.
