Chris-NZ Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 A shooting buddy would be appreciative of feedback from any users of this watch. The appeal is it includes baro pressure/altitude/temp/compass. Any info welcomed Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Ive owned one for about 10 years. I bought it for use in alpine climbing and found all of the functions to be very accurate with the info they were giving me. The altitude data was particularly impressive as i regularly checked the watch against known heights and found it accurate within a few metres in most cases.I still wear it everyday and signs of wear and tear are beginning to show but it still functions as well as it did when i bought it. The Bezel did lose its detent after a few years and now it just spins freely, apart from that ive had no other problems.The watch comes with a very good and rather large manual.

Barrelsniffer Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I also had one..but found using the controls daily soon drained the battery..so now sits in my drawer at home dead. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Used them on various courses. My observation - they're bleedin massive. Great for what they're designed for, but too big for double duty as an everyday watch. Mick - drop me a PM if you want to sell your unloved one (vector?)

Mick True, but at least the batteries are cheap, easy to get hold of and easily changed in a couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Ran a Vector for a few years before loosing it to my wife - great watch with no issues, I 'upgraded' to an X9Mi and the strap fell apart at 6 months, Suunto service is good and they collected it, repaired it and returned it free of charge in under a week. It fell apart again, service 100% as before. It fell apart AGAIN! Service was a bit slow but they mailed me a shiny new X10mi which I promptly eBlagged and got myself a Seiko which ticks most of the boxes. Suunto are very good watches and the Vector is bomb proof, probably best to avoid the Mi models though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
