it's a bargain

Comments about Suunto USA Vector Watch:

We bought this watch for our son for his graduation from High School so that he can have it when he enters the US Air Force in the Fall, so far he seems to be enjoying it, tremendously. This watch came highly recommended to us by multiple military personnel, both active and retired. The only negative is that it is a large watch.

is a great clock, light, and comfortable, easy to use. It must in size should be smaller.
It is an excellent purchase, for who likes sports

Comments about Suunto USA Vector Watch:

I have had previous versions of this watch and liked the fact that I could change the battery myself. Brands like Casio void your warrant as soon as the battery is changed by anyone. Sunnto does not and the battery is easy to change. I am not fond of the band, it catches on clothing. I have replace the band on the previous versions that I owned. Otherwise a great watch.

This is a great watch. My first Vector has lasted more than a decade and is still spot on. The buttons were getting a bit vague so I purchased a new one at a killer price. It is accurate and reliable and I wear it constantly in all outdoor pursuits. Its rugged and puts up with all the usual back country abuse. I wouldn't recommend crack climbing with it unless you want to trash the face but apart from that, none better. And its made in Finland not China, the last of the Finnish Suuntos.

Service and delivery comments:

As always a great price and prompt service

I have been using this watch 5 years. At the 3 year mark I was on an airline flight and the altimeter tanked (I fly about once a month). At that time the watch plastic was so brittle from 3 years of constant use (I wear it 24 hours a day: sleeping, shower, the works) that I couldnt take the battery cover off without the plastic breaking. [...] I had a completely rebuilt watch (strap, cover, everything). The watch does scratch easily (for example, I was shoveling gravel and realized that I scratched the watch all up from doing work), but some 2000 wet sandpaper cleared up the face easily. This watch has been a trooper. I destroy most watches within 6 months and this one has lasted years. I would recommend this watch to anyone. Plus at the current price point, this watch is a steal.

I've given up on expecting what is advertised to be true with the Vector, after three (yeah, I know "fool me once...") dogged attempts at making this my watch.

It eats batteries, vulnerable to water, and is easily disabled by a fall from the bathroom sink countertop to the floor.

Don't do it, even at half price.

I got this wrist computer to monitor altitude gained/lost while hiking. It's easy to use but not very accurate. I know that it's based on atmospheric pressure but I was expecting more... on a 'round trip' hike (started and ended at the same trailhead), it said I gained 350' and lost 930'. The real number is closer to 1,500'. I'm going to keep it but I not going to rely on it for serious navigation.

I bought the Suunto Vector when my Avocet altimiter watch finally died, then propmtly returned it. As a ski patroller and back country skier this watch lacks the ability to view current log book data while the current log book is recording. According to the product manual this feature is available for the Altimax and S-Lander models but with the Vector and X-Lander you can't view current accumulated vertical or number of laps while in the current log book, only in past log books. It makes no sense not to have access to this data during a ski day.
It's also pretty complicated to use with many sub screens. I'm looking into High Gear watches and judging by their product manuals they seem to have more features for less money.
