Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sleekly designed, the powerful Suunto S6 wrist-top computer/timepiece is an essential tool for skiers and snowboarders as well as back-country hikers and mountain bikers. It features a built-in altimeter, barometer, compass, and ski chronograph, which provides data such as degree of slope, maximum speed achieved, and average speed and vertical drop for individual runs. You can also synch the Suunto S6 up to your Windows PC to view and analyze performance data.

The Suunto S6 has been especially designed with downhill skiers and snowboarders in mind. Measuring and analyzing the surrounding environment minimizes the risk involved in moving around the mountains. In addition to having information available to you at all times on the slopes, the Suunto S6 records and stores data for later analysis. You can view, compare, and analyze your riding performance through a specially designed PC interface, and use that to improve future rides.

The combination of altimeter and clinometer enables you to measure your speed. The skichrono gives you information on the total number of runs, their altitude profile, real-time accumulated descent values, as well as the maximum and average speed of runs.

When moving around the mountains, safety comes first--and the Suunto S6 comes packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible riding. You can use the alarm functions to alert you at certain altitudes, warn of overly rapid ascent, or indicate an upcoming storm. You will be much better off using the compass and altimeter if caught in bad weather. And you can assess avalanche danger with the clinometer, if needed. The barometer features a weather trend graph, 48-hour memory, and a weather alarm.

The Suunto S6 is water resistant, tested to 100 meters/330 feet according to ISO 2281 standard, which means you can use it for swimming or other water sports activities--but it should not be used for scuba diving or freediving.

The Suunto Ski Manager (SKIM) is software that enables deeper understanding and better graphical representation of the data recorded and stored by Suunto S6. With SKIM you can visualize the altitude profiles for your skiing and snowboarding trips and for the recorded individual runs; you can analyze also and plan your sports activities and keep a training diary. Create your own activity reports by adding photos and text to the profiles.
