Suunto Observer Review

Reviewer: Stephen Creed, Bere Alston   (4-11-2009)

I had been looking for a watch that had all the functions I need and to fit my big wrist. After some research I went for the Observer all Black and this does all I need and fits my wrist.
It has easy setup on the menu and sub menus and a card to put in your wallet as a reminder.

Suunto Observer Review

Reviewer: jim brady, Balsall Heath   (30-7-2009)

I have had and Observer in steel for three years. I bought it for mountaineering and skiing. The things I like about the watch are, it looks like a regular watch, and the high accuracy of the altimeter which is also very easy to calibrate. The compass is less useful and needs calibrating often, also the original strap only lasted 18 months. I had problems with the original battery compartment cover being difficult to remove to change the battery, I am pleased to say when I took it to a stockiest in France while on holiday, he had a Suunto kit that included a new cover, battery and special key for the new cover which made it very easy to remove the cover, and all for nominal cost.
I would highly recommend this watch.

Suunto Observer Review

Reviewer: Mike Pomeroy, Stockport   (20-11-2008)

I purchased a Suunto Observer (Steel case, resin bracelet, positive face) in October 2008. I selected this watch because I wanted the altimeter but also wanted it to look "like a watch" rather than like a dive computer. Although the case is a bit larger than the average watch I find it actually looks very good, and this despite the fact that have quite skinny wrists. In fact, I now wear it on non-hill days in preference to my "ordinary" watch. After a little practice, the watch is very easy to use. There are no superfluous functions and I find the altimeter is very accurate (so long as it is properly calibrated). I have chekced it against a GPS altimeter and accurate electronic barometer and found good agreement. I have found only two small negatives. Firstly, the contrast of the display is not the same as an ordinary digital watch. Once you get used to it it's fine. Secondly, the electronic compass needs calibrating regularly and this calibration is a bit tricky. On the whole, highly recommended.
