What are the ABCs of Suunto Outdoor Watches?
Altimeter, Barometer and Compass. Outdoor sports enthusiasts need to keep track of their surroundings, including location and weather conditions, to stay safe, so the ABCs — altimeter, barometer and compass — are important features of outdoor watches. The altimeter function determines altitude by measuring changes in barometric pressure. This feature not only determines your current elevation; it also tracks your ascent and descent, so you can stay aware of your progress. The barometer gauges changes in air pressure and the weather changes that accompany them. Each Suunto outdoor watch with a compass has these important features: bearing tracking, north-south arrow, bearing in degrees, declination adjustment and resolution of 1 degree.
