Are Suunto products water resistant?
Yes, Suunto watches and the accessories have basic water resistance and many have a high water-resistance rating. Water resistance for timepieces is tested in measurements of atmosphere (ATM), and each ATM denotes 10 meters of static water pressure; for example, 1 ATM equals 10 meters. A product with basic water resistance, often just noted as “water resistant,” can withstand light rain or sink splashes but should not be worn while swimming. If the watch can be submerged in water, the description must state at what ATM rating it maintains water resistance, usually 5 ATM or more on most sport watches, such as Suunto. A watch with a 5-10 ATM (50-100 meters) rating can be worn for short periods of swimming, hiking in the rain and splashing through streams.
