The watch that started it all! Suunto's original Wristop Computer, the Vector changed the face of sport watches forever with its groundbreaking combination of features, including an altimeter, barometer, electronic compass, digital log book, and watch. Introduced in 1998, the Vector was the first watch to make it to the summit of Mt. Everest. Today, the Vector is still considered the standard by which other sport watches are judged, and it remains a favorite everywhere, from the mountain tops to the Marine Corps. Barometer - Absolute pressure range 8.90 - 32.40 inHg / 300 - 1100 mbar, Sea level pressure range 27.25 - 31.90 inHg / 921-1080 mbar, Resolution 0.05 inHg / 1 mbar Temperature - range -20 - +60 C / -5 - +140 F Compass - shows bearing in degrees and cardinal or half-cardinal point Backlight, electroluminescent User-replaceable battery Low Battery Indicator Easy-to-read display Water Resistant to 30 m / 100ft Weight 1.9 oz / 55g

Conclusion: Perfect for the rain forest
Review: I just returned from spending two plus weeks in the rain forest in coastal British Columbia. This watch worked perfectly. It was critical to have the thermometer altimeter and the barometer. I was able to use topographical maps and the watch to know where I was on the mountain. I was also able to leave the rock face when the barometer predicted incoming rain. This piece of equipment (far more than a watch) was critical to the success of the expedition.Suunto Vector Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, Compass, and Thermometer

Conclusion: Unreadable within two weeks
Review: The watch worked great for about two weeks, then became unreadable. I am in the process of returning it... so will see how their warrenty policy holds up.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Negative display is POOR
Review: As a previous reviewer has pointed out, the older Vectors utilized a positive display, with the numbers in black and the lcd background a grey color. The most recent Vector I purchased on Amazon came with the negative display, which is simply the opposite ... the numbers being grey on a black background. Since the brightness of the grey numbers cannot be increased to stand out better against the black, it makes it ridiculously difficult to read in many lighting conditions. Turning on the backlight helps, but to do that you have to hold the light button down for 2 seconds before it responds. What a pain. The functions of the watch are great, however. Just note there is a steep learning curve to understanding the buttons. A read of the manual is a must.
After purchasing the Suunto Core (Light Green), I have to admit there is no comparison really. The Core is much easier to use, easier to read, more comfortable to wear. The only disadvantage of the Core may be its durability for such a thin and lightweight housing. But so far it's held up to everything I've put it through.

Conclusion: Great Watch
Review: In my opinion, for the price this is the best hiking watch around. I have been hiking and use all of the watch functions, as far as I can tell they are accurate, except the temperature when it is on my wrist, so I take it off for 15 to 20 minutes as it has been suggested and it is more in line with the temperatures in my area. I hike in 100 degree temps, and a bit higher.

Conclusion: Suunto Vector
Review: This is the first watch of this kind that I ever owned. I will say that once you get to know it, you will truly be amazed at the many functions that no other watch company can even come close to doing.
