Do not waste your money on a Suunto. My M9 pos has been back for repair
twice in 12 months, talking to other Suunto owners this seems quite normal.
The barometer does work well but for over $600!!!

Sloooowww GPS fix, compass wildly inaccurate despite swinging it many times
etc. Get this major feature, if you plug it in to recharge, it disengages
the GPS! What genius came up with that....

Cheers

Suunto also makes barometer watches.

Yes, as they sink to the bottom they measure the distance travelled.

Thanks for all the input. I am focusing on the Cauio watches. there
a a ton with barometers.

As an instructor I sail a lot of charter boats that do not have
bulhead barometers. I have been hammered a couple of times by lows
more severe than forecast.
