Suunto Observer Altimeter Watch
Good Watch

I have had this watch since 2002. It has worked very well on the ski slopes and snorkeling. I have had one band break when I caught it on a screw moving furniture. Otherwise the band has worked well for me. The temperature is usually reads warmer than the real temperature but I think that is because it is on my wrist. The compass is relatively accurate, not as accurate as a real compass, but close. We checked it with many Boy Scout outings.
Over all I have been very happy with this watch. I only wish the company would be more mac friendly.
