from Philippines Date Reviewed: February 23, 2009 Strengths: The Suunto Vector could easily be read under strong sunlight. I love the altimeter! I also get positive comments on how great it looks. Its so big that it catches the eyes of people. Weaknesses: You cant use the compass for long periods. it goes on "sleep mode" after a while so you have to press a button to activate it again. you cannot also use the compass for prolonged periods at night since the light is only on for a few seconds. The "glass" cover is easily scratched, kinda weird for being an outdoors gadget which would be exposed to all the elements. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: beach or anywhere with great views Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $260.00 Purchased At: Time Depot Philippin Similar Products Used: Casio G Shock Riseman

from Boulder, CO Date Reviewed: August 20, 2001 Strengths: Light weight, large display, altimeter is linked to barometer (unlike the twin sensor Casio). Weaknesses: Somewhat prone to scratches (should have had a titanium ring bezel instead of plastic), complicated way of displaying sea-level barometric pressure (too menu hidden). Small 'baro' trend as compared to Casio twin sensor. What time is 0:00 am? The electroluminescent diplay is not very bright (probably due to battery saving). Only time will tell if the stock band will not crack and break due to my oils from my skin like the Casios. I hope that the time keeping will not be as inaccurate as the 15+ seconds a month leap as the Casios. (see The Bottom Line) The display is hard to read at a low viewing angle (But now that I think about it, my Casio twin sensor had a 'high twist' to the pixels when a new battery was installed and made it equally hard to view at low angles) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: McGuckin Hardware, Inc. Similar Products Used: Casio twin sensor

from San Jose, CA Date Reviewed: April 25, 2000 Strengths: Pros: big display, light (I think the Vertex Alpine doesn't have this), accuracy down to 10 feet, 3 alarms, timer, maximum altitude of about 29,999 feet. Weaknesses: Cons: watch face is rather big, buttons hard to press, doesn't automatically record altitude progress as datapoints, bland display (on the Altimax), in 12 hour time mode (am/pm), 12 o'clock appears as 0:00. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Similar Products Used: I have a Casio Twin sensor watch (also no compass, has only 1 alarm and no timer), which is smaller, and graphs the altitude progress as you go. Although the precision is down to only 20 feet (and maximum altitude of about 20,000 feet), it is more fun to use (and I have used it for the last 3 years).
