Suunto
"Vector"

  Suunto Vector
Suunto Vector

Suunto first introduced the Vector to us in 1998, and it soon became apparent that it would change the way that watches designed for backcountry enthusiasts were made. In fact, wristop computer would be a better term to use than watch. Sure, it can tell time, but it can also give you altimeter, barometer and compass readings as well. They have made a few slight changes for 2004, such as black and khaki being the new colors, and the face of the watch now features degrees instead of cardinal direction points. Just read the list of features found below and you will see how impressive this watch really is.
NAME SIZE COLOR PRICE QUANTITY
Vector One Size Khaki $219.00
