I've had my Suunto Vector for a couple of months and found it fun and great to use. It's the first altimeter I've owned and was initially concerned it would be frustratingly complex to operate. In fact I've found the opposite. The 4 button system is highly intuitive, as is adjusting settings and calibrating the compass and altitude readings. I used the watch on a recent trek in Nepal and really enjoyed following the altitude and temperature changes moving between 300 and 5300 metres and plus 30 to minus 15 degrees C, and it was also simple and useful to check our daily altitude gains stayed within safe limits. You must note though that the thermometer takes the reading of your skin/arm temperature and must be located away from your body (such as attached to your pack) to give an accurate ambient temperature.
