The Suunto Vector is an indispensable piece of outdoor adventure gear. With an extremely accurate altimeter and built in compass this "wristop computer" as Suunto calls it, can make navigation considerably easier and is a lot of fun.

Not only is the Vector an altimeter, barometer, compass and thermometer, it is also a great waterproof watch. It has a stopwatch, countdown timer, 3 daily alarms and 12 / 24 hour clock.

Elevation can be read in either feet or meters which is handy for when you travel. The Compass in adjustable for Declination to keep you headed in the right direction. And the face has an "Indiglo" type Backlight to make night use easy.
