 Good watch with a few gotchas August 20, 2002
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought the stainless steel version of the Observer. Things you should know:
1. It is hard to buy this watch significantly discounted and still get the USA warrantee -- Sunnto tries to keep sales at list price.
2. This watch is not shock resistant, despite what I had seen elsewhere on the Internet
3. The watch band seems to not open up much. If you have a small wrist but large hand, you may have trouble getting this watch on and off. However, more careful examination reveals that the watch band opens up in two places, which makes the watch band's double-button lock less secure.
4. The stainless band is phony -- it's really a rubber band with a several embedded metal "ornaments" on each side made to look like a metal band. The part of the band under my wrist has no such ornaments and is all black. The stainless model still probably looks better than the black band. But if the titanium uses the same gimic with metal ornaments, buy the stainless which would be a better value.
5. For some reason, the watch shows a funny R in the FR weekday display on Fridays -- live with it!
6. Because of the barometer, the watch has a thermometer function, although it might only be accurate with the watch off wrist.
7. There are calibration functions for the compass and, I think, barometer. I haven't had a chance to check to see how accurate these instruments really are.The Casio barometer/altimeter watch is a better value than the Sunnto although it is nowhere near as elegant as the Observer. And a regular ol' G-Shock will trounce the Observer when it comes to durability and battery life.

Just bought the Observer,Awesome.
Perfect balance of form & function. Possible to wear out when being a gentleman, or out when being a hooligan. Great for ease of use and smaller than previous designs Suunto. Go on treat yourself, Titanium beats anything on the market. Great fun in lifts too with the altimeter!
 All well and good, but it's 1/3 smaller in another way.... February 1, 2002

Just a brief note-
The Observer is 1/3 smaller than the other Suunto watches, which is fine if you are a small person or have small arms/wrists. If you have a large wrist like my husband does(8") the Observer WILL NOT FIT, at least the SS/SS and TI/TI versions.This was a major bummer Christmas Day! We returned the watch and that was the end of it...
A Great Watch For The Outdoor Person. May 25, 2002

Great conversational piece. The Titatium housing gives it a cool look on the black face. As for the performance, I have found the Barometer & Compass to be extremely accurate. The temperature is very accurate, but you have to take it off your wrist for true reading. I also love the chronometer stopwatch for jogging, timing each mile. I have not gone skiing yet so I really did not use the altimeter or try to figure it out yet. The only negative I found is the alarm is not that loud and for the price I think the band could be all titatium instead of titatium & elastomer strap together. I never leave home without it.
Great Watch -- a little complex to use February 3, 2004
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Don't get me wrong - I LOVE this watch ... but it is probably too complex for most people to be able to get full functionality out of. Also, some functions (like the thermometer) seem to be gimmicks - as they don't actually work unless you take the watch off for 15 minutes ... kinda defeating the purpose of a watch in the first place.That being said, I really can't fault anything here apart from the instruction manual - which really does a poor job at making a complex timepiece easier to understand.
