Suunto Vector Altimeter Watch

http://www.heartratewatchcompany.com/heart-rate-monitors-p/suunto-vector.htm The Suunto Vector is made for outdoor adventure. A Barometer forecasts the weather, a compass gives you direction, and an altimeter measures altitude gained and lost which is great for skiers and mountaineers. It also has a heart rate monitor and tracks calories. It's a great looking watch on the summit or in the office.

Hi please could you answer a couple of questions I have about the Suunto Vector.

In the Altimeter mode my watch keeps on showing different altitudes to the one I have set initially for my home. Is the device faulty and unreliable? The second question is how can I change the unit of measurement to feet rather than meters?

Hope you can help, thanks.

@VeronicasMidget The owner's manual has a pretty good explanation of how to change the settings.

As far as accuracy goes you should re-set your barometer and altimeter to a know point of altitude daily. Why? Quite simply, because the barometer is always changing. You can get local barometric pressure on the internet or even weather.com

Is that watch waterproof?

and the compass, do it get all f*cked up if it comes in a magnet field or something like that?

@Petegrin1 I actually wear one of these watches myself. It measures altitude, direction and has a barometer as well. It is water resistant - I swim with it but probably wouldn't dive with it. It's great for mountain climbing, skiing and lots of outdoor sports where weather and direction finding are a factor. The compass actually has a leveling bubble and is accurate.

I haven't tested it in a magnet field but I can only imagine that the compass could get disoriented in areas of high magnetism.
