Since it's introduction in 1998, the Suunto Vector wristop computer has acted as the altimeter, barometer, electronic compass, and digital logbook for everyone from mountaineers to the Marines. The Vector keeps track of almost everything for you. It is the very tiny instrument panel that could be the key to backcountry survival. This year's Vector adds degree numbers and cardinal half points to the compass bezel, allowing users to make more accurate readings in the field. The Vector's altimeter enables users to track ascent and descent rates, as well as the number of runs skied in a day. This information can be very helpful when determining if you can bag one more descent at the end of a long tour. The watch's barometer allows you to track weather changes and automatically records atmospheric pressure over 4 days in 6hr intervals. Being able to track incoming storms is key when deciding how to prepare for a day of skiing or climbing.

For all serious outdoor activities, the Suunto Vector watch provides everything you need when hiking, climbing, back country skiing, or traveling through any tough terrain.
With a range of up to 29,500 ft, the altimeter works within all fourteen of the over-8000 meter summits in the world. Altitude difference measurement can follow vertical progress between stages, an automatic 24-hour memory stores the altitude and ascent/descent rate for every hour, and the watch also features an adjustable altitude alarm, among other memory functions. The logbook lets you record both total and cumulative vertical ascents and descents, and the number of runs you've skied while on the slopes. Total displays include altitude, vertical speed, altitude alarm, logbook, vertical difference measurement, automatic 24 hour altitude memory, temperature compensation. Its logbook capacity is 8 kB, recording intervals of 20 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 60 minutes, with respective times 16.5 hours, 50 hours, 20 days, and 125 days.
Current barometric pressure and temperature is also displayed to help forecast weather changes. The Vector automatically records barometric data for the past four days: the first six hours in one-hour intervals, then in six-hour intervals after that. It can also show the present sea level pressure, for greater understanding of barometric pressure at high altitudes. Total displays include sea level pressure, absolute pressure, pressure difference, pressure trend indicator, 4-day barometric memory, and temperature.
The Vector's electronic compass uses cardinal or half-cardinal points, and the North-South arrow. It can also be set to track a specific bearing, to keep you on direction in more remote terrain. There's also a declination adjustment that lets the user correct the difference between true North and magnetic North.
When used simply as a watch, the Suunto Vector also displays the time in 12 or 24-hour format, with three daily alarms, a calendar pre-programmed through the year 2089, and a stopwatch with split time measurement and a countdown timer. The watch features an electro-luminescent backlight, and a user-replaceable battery.

The last thing you need during your training session is a heart rate monitor with more confusing features than all the James Bond watches combined. Although a spinning saw bezel would be cool, it's not exactly necessary. With a heart rate monitor, an altimeter, interval timers, and an eight-session memory, the Suunto X3HR Heart Rate Monitor gives you just what you need for a training run, bike ride, or hike. This training watch features an easy-to-read graphic heart rate display with your current heart rate and target zone, so you get a quick and complete view of your workout at a glance. The X3HR stores your ascent and descent levels, minimum and maximum heart rate, and training time, for up to eight separate sessions. What this watch doesn't have is a million confusing buttons, laser-tractor-beam capability, or grappling hook extensions.

The more valuable information you can learn from your outdoor exercise, the more motivated you'll be. Enter the Suunto X3 heart rate monitor, which not only serves as an informative and reliable training tool, but also adds an altimeter, barometer, and thermometer for good measure. The monitor's transmitter belt wraps securely around your chest, where it reads your real-time average heart rate, analyzes the information, and sends it to the wrist-top computer. Once the information is captured, you can compare your average heart rate with your instant heart rate, speed up or slow down to match the target pace, or set the interval timer to meet specific heart rate goals. It can also help you gauge the impact of altitude and topographic factors on your training by matching your heart rate with the altimeter readings. Want to design the perfect training regimen for mountainous hikes? Look no further than the X3.
Plus, the X3 doesn't stop when the workout is over. It also stores data on training duration; average, minimum, and maximum heart rates; cumulative ascent and descent; and the highest and lowest altitudes in the training session. As a result, it's easy to make a complete post-performance assessment. It even stores the heart rate for up to 10 laps for each training session and memorizes all the data from the last eight training sessions, compiling the exercise data in a simple training logbook.
Safety is also a wilderness concern, which is where the barometer and thermometer come into play. The two functions let you gauge the weather conditions during long hikes and camping trips, so you aren't caught unaware by a surprise snow or rainstorm. Add in an optimized display size for superior readability and a long, soft strap that fits virtually any size wrist and you have an unbeatable tool for hiking, workout management, and more.
Additional features include a built-in stopwatch/interval timer and calendar, a graphic heart rate zone pointer, water-resistance to 100 feet, and replaceable batteries for both the monitor and the transmitter belt. The monitor, which weighs 0.11 pounds, is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

The stainless steel Suunto X6HRM wrist-top computer/timepiece provides you with tools for analyzing and improving your performance in your favorite endurance sport. It combines a heart rate monitor and an altimeter that comes with the included Suunto transmitter belt. It also features a barometer, digital compass, chronometer, and clinometer (for measuring slope angle). This wrist-top computer also comes in another version--the X6HR with composite housing.
A combined altimeter and heart rate monitor is a practical tool for all outdoor and endurance sports activities, helping you find the ideal training level or the most suitable hiking pace and understand the impact of altitude and topographic factors on heart rate. The chronometer records altitude and heart rate profiles at 2-, 10-, or 60-second intervals and has virtually an unlimited capacity for split/lap times. It also offers an interval timer for circuit training and repetitions.
You can transfer and store the logs you have recorded with your Suunto X6HRM to your PC. The logs can be either Hiking logs stored in the Suunto X6HRM logbook files, weather logs stored in the weather memory, or Chrono logs stored in the chrono memory. When the data has been transferred, you can organize, view and add related information to it, and create charts with the Suunto Activity Manager software.
The Suunto X6HRM comes packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible hiking. You can use the alarm functions to alert you at certain altitudes, help maintain safe climbing speed on the mountains, or indicate an upcoming storm. You will be much better off using the compass and altimeter if caught in bad weather. The compass also guides you back when running in an unknown place or just strolling around in a foreign city.
The Suunto X6HRM 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 Logbook feature allows you to save information regarding, for example, a hiking trip. When you start the logbook, it starts gathering information about the cumulative ascents and descents, average ascent and descent rates, highest and lowest points and specific marks you can set during the trip. When you stop the logbook, the information gathered thus far is recorded as a logbook file that can be viewed later. The maximum duration of one logbook is 168 hours (one week). The Suunto X6HRM can store 20 logbook files at one time. More

The History of the Barometer
In the first complete history of the barometer, W. E. Knowles Middleton documents not only the history of the instrument--invented in the mid-seventeenth century--and its various permutations, but also the history of the scientific principles involved and the scientists who either helped or hindered progress. Illustrated with nearly 200 drawings, many of them reproductions of original diagrams, this book chronicles the experiments, controversies, and refinements that resulted in the instrument that has for two centuries been an essential part of any laboratory and, as Middleton concludes, had an immediate effect on man's view of the world.
The Stock Market Barometer
The late William P. Hamilton originally published The Stock Market Barometer in 1922. Hamilton spent a career in financial journalism and became an editor of The Wall Street Journal.
