Suunto Vector Computer #2132

This device is made in Finland where orienteering is the national sport. Not only does the Vector tell time in 12 or 24 hour formats, it has a stopwatch, a countdown timer and a calendar programmed to 2089. It also tells you where you are with a highly accurate digital compass that shows bearings in degrees or half-cardinal points. There is also a declination adjustment and a level window to get the unit within +/- 2-3 degree accuracy. The compass has a bearing tracking function which displays the locked bearing, the actual bearing, and the difference between them. As an altimeter, the Vector will tell the altitude to 29,500 feet in 10 foot divisions and relay the rate of ascent or descent in feet or meters per minute. An automatic 24-hour memory stores altitude and ascent/descent rates. The Vector also acts as a barometer, displaying the full range of atmospheric pressure. A differential measurement allows zeroing of the barometer following overnight changes, and a 4-day log provides data on the pressure changes in hour intervals for the last six hours elapsed, then in six hour intervals. All this is packaged in a waterproof housing that is electroluminescently backlit. An amazing amount of useful data acquisition in a compact package. Black or Black/Yellow. 1.9 oz. 1.25" Face Dia.
