Suunto Observer Altimeter Watch
Great looking very dependable watch

I have owned both the titanium and stainless steel Suunto Observer watches for years with no problems. The Suunto Observer is a great looking, dependable watch that has never let me down. It is not huge watch on your wrist like many other outdoor sport watches. I like the mineral crystal face on the Observer for durability instead of plastic that scratches easily used on other watches. All functions of this watch have worked perfect since new. The negative face can be difficult to see in low light conditions but you can use the light button if necessary. I do wish replacement bands were cheaper and wish Suunto would produce an all metal replacement band for this watch.
