Altimeter Barometer Watch - This Watch is Necessary For Any Outdoor Enthusiast

If you are looking for an all around, well crafted, Altimeter Barometer or Compass watch that's going to give you real time precision readings for your outdoor pursuits, you need to look towards the Suunto Observer Titanium, or the Suunto Core. These two watches come from a top of the line well known and established manufacturer of sports training equipment. The following article is a brief review on the popular Suunto Core and Suunto Observer wristop computers.

Review: Suunto Core

The Suunto Core is a well sought after watch for the vertically inclined. Whether your biking, hiking, skiing, sailing, or diving, the Suunto Core will keep you up-to-date with all the information you need for your adventure. What makes this watch so sought after is its functionability, with its storm alarm, compass, altimeter, barometer, and weather indicator, you will be well prepared to make your journey. And that's just to name a few of its features. This watch help prevent the establishment of these showers and thunderstorms with the storm alarm Suunto. Enabled when a rapid drop in atmospheric pressure over a period of three hours, the storm warnings let you know that something unpleasant is fast approaching.

Another great feature ... altimeter, a valuable tool for any mountaineering, ski mountaineering and wilderness travel. The altimeter shows your current elevation, shows how much you are back down, and is alsorecord the entire session for later review. While on ski, hike, or climb, the barometer will help you predict changing weather conditions. It will measure and record air pressure, letting you determine if there will be sunny skies ahead or hair-bending electrical storms. Keeping track of a direction will be easy with the Suunto Cores digital compass. You can set and following a bearing with a traditional rotating bezel, or you can point the watch toward your intended direction and lock it in. The Suunto Core was designed with people like you in mind, people who enjoy the thrill of the great outdoors.

Review: Suunto Observer Titanium

Just like the Suunto Core the Suunto Observer Titanium has full outdoor functionality that can be worn everyday. Its stylish design makes it wearable in any casual situation. It has an easy to read display with an extra wide viewing angle, and an electro-luminescent backlight, which makes it easy to read when the sun goes down. Whats great about the Observer is that the battery is user-replaceable, no unnecessary trips to a jeweller. The titanium housing gives it a stylish look on the black face. The design is excellent. It has a raised bevel around the crystal which makes it hard to scratch with your day to day use. And because of its moderate size and stylish design it is perfectly suitable for both men, as well as women.

The barometer and compass are extremely accurate. The temperature feature is also very accurate, but you have to take it off your wrist for a true reading. Which only makes sense. The Observer is a combination of many features that will prove useful for outdoor and ski trips. With one press of a button you can measure your vertical ascents and descents, as well as the total number of runs skied. You also wont have to worry about getting this thing wet, its water resistant to 100 m (330 ft). Knowing your altitude, ascent and descent rate, compass bearing, weather trends, and barometric pressure will help you make those safe and responsible decisions, especially when moving in the mountains. Both of these altimeter barometer watches will come with a 1-2 year warranty depending on where you purchase them from.
