I swear... I didn't push any buttons underwater. If you're going to swim with this watch then don't buy it. It was understood this watch was never meant for SCUBA or serious swimming, but even a few dips in the pool proved this watch is {garbage}. Yes, the compass is handy.

this watch does what the other reviewers say. BUT, don't get it wet. i had mine replaced for $75 after an online complaint to the company. the watch fell into 5 feet of water and was trashed by the water leak. i like the compass, barometer the best. the trend line is helpful on the weather forcasting. the temperature is only good if you take the watch off and leave it on the ground.
besides the compass, it functions the best if you leave it in one place and refer to it daily at your tent...not all that convenient, eh?

I set my Suunto Vector to Atomic time and it is accurate to the second. After a year it swayed 1/2 second off. Now that's keeping time. Great feel, great watch, great tools. Its doesn't set declination properly but I haven't found a wrist watch that does. Well, not in this price range. The black light effect is great at night too. I bought the watch for accuracy and it hasn't let me down.

I owned my Vector for a year-and-a-half then one day it developed condensation under the faceplate. I removed the battery to see if moisture had collected there too but it was dry. However, the rubber O ring gasket would not fit back around the battery cover as it once did. I then sent the watch to Suunto for warranty repair. Three weeks later I'm notified the watch was repaired and on its way back. Upon opening the box I'm shocked because its not my watch but a brand spanking new Vector!! Now that's service Suunto, you rock!

I just used this watch for a recent backpacking trip and it was great. At nights I would hang it in the tent to get the over night temp and during the day the altimeter helped our group determine our location and progress. Recalibrating the watch was easy based on our campsite location on the topo map. Finally, the barometer was a good in indicator of the weather that we would be encountering.

This watch is also a cool conversation piece when it comes to skiing. You can set it to do total number of vertical feet skied and when you get on the chair you can tell your partner the rate of decent on the last run. Very cool watch!!!

This Japanese toy electric toy toy will blow your mind. There have been occasions when I've been in the field and this little InspectorGadgetesque watch literally saved my life! My "company" is working with the manufacturer to bring this little baby back on the market (it's only available right now in North Korea and to the Pentagon)......'cause it's hot! If you see one, get it!!!
