Amazon.com Product Description: The Suunto Observer SR Watch with Chronograph and Timer is packed with features that will satisfy even the most demanding user. Extremely shock-resistant, the Observer SR is a perfect tool for even the toughest athletic challenges.
For backcountry and skiing enthusiasts, the Observer SR is loaded with features that will help to keep you safe in the most demanding of situations. The watch's altimeter has a range up to 9,000 meters (29,500 feet), with a one-meter resolution. It features an altitude alarm as well as memory function that allows you to record total and cumulative vertical ascents and descents, as well as the number of hikes or runs that you've skied. The logbook data is quickly available during the activity with the touch of a button. The barometric functions provide you with valuable information for forecasting weather changes. Information on the present sea level pressure helps you read and understand the barometric pressure at high altitudes. The compass shows the cardinal or half-cardinal point abbreviated and indicates north with an arrow. It can be set to track a certain bearing, and graphically show the difference between it and the actual bearing. This is a valuable tool when trying to get back on track after minor or major detours in the terrain. The declination adjustment function allows the user to correct the difference between true north and magnetic north. These features all combine to provide you with vital information that will help you make safe and responsible decisions during your excursions.
The watch also functions as an everyday time piece, suitable for any casual situation. It includes an easy-to-read display with an extra-wide viewing angle, an electro-luminescent backlight and a user-replaceable battery. With a calendar clock pre-programmed to the year 2089, three daily alarms, a dual time display, and a stopwatch with lap and split time measurement, the Observer SR is the only watch you'll ever need. And because of its moderate size and stylish design, it is perfectly suitable for men and women.
