SUUNTO
VECTOR

Suunto Vector
is truly an instrument that you cannot leave home when planning any
kind of outdoor activity. Hiking, climbing, off piste skiing all share
one common feature in order to practice them safely, you need accurate,
real-time information about the surroundings. And this is where Suunto
Vector, a versatile device that it is, delivers.
Regardless whether
you are climbing mountains, riding a muddy bike track, or skiing off
piste, Suunto Vector will not let you down even in the toughest of the
tough situations. It combines an altimeter, barometer, and an electronic
compass with all the features of a sophisticated sports watch.
The clear logic
of the user interface makes Suunto Vector a real forerunner on the mountain.
Its ergonomic design with a large display and convenient control buttons
makes it easy to use even in the harshest and toughest conditions. It
has an electro-luminescent backlight and a user-replaceable battery.
Deeper Understanding
Suunto Vector keeps track of your activities and provides you with means
to make rational decisions in situations where information on your surroundings
plays a crucial role.
The Suunto Vector
and its barometric functions provide you with valuable information for
forecasting weather changes. Information on the present sea level pressure
helps you read and understand the barometric pressure at high altitudes.
Knowing your
altitude, ascent/descent rate, compass bearing, weather trends, and
barometric pressure enables you to make safe and responsible decisions,
particularly when moving in the mountains.
Information in Action
The altimeter features a range up to 9 000 m/ 29 500 ft, which puts
all 14 of the World´s 8000+ meter summits within the avid climber´s
range. Suunto Vector features an altitude difference measurement function
for following vertical progress between stages. It has an automatic
24-hour memory that stores the altitude and ascent/descent rate for
every hour. It also features an adjustable altitude alarm and different
memory functions. With the logbook function you can record total and
cumulative vertical ascents and descents, as well as the number of runs
skied.
Suunto Vector
displays the current barometric pressure and temperature, which is valuable
information for forecasting weather changes. Suunto Vector automatically
records barometric data for the past four days: the first six hours
in one-hour intervals and after that in six-hour intervals. When the
reference altitude is set correctly, the instrument also shows the present
sea level pressure, which makes it easier to read and understand the
barometric pressure at high altitudes. However, when on tour in the
mountains, don´t forget that the detected barometric pressure
changes when you are moving in the vertical direction. This makes tracing
of weather changes more complicated.
The electronic
compass of Suunto Vector guides you with cardinal or half-cardinal points
and the North-South arrow. The compass can also be set to track a certain
bearing, which helps following of a chosen direction in unknown terrain.
The declination adjustment function allows the user to correct the difference
between true North and magnetic North.
In addition
to the different outdoor-related functions, Suunto Vector also displays
normal time. It has three daily alarms, a calendar programmed to the
year 2089, and a stopwatch with split time measurement and a countdown
timer. The time can be shown in 12 or 24-hour format.
