acharenio Report post Posted January 29, 2008 brand new in box suunto vector sale $139.99 here is a description from the suunto company. The Suunto Vector is the first groundbreaking model coming from Suunto Sports Instruments. It is the answer to all outdoor enthusiasts around the World, who want to know their playground better. 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. 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.
