What does water resistance in Suunto Outdoor/Training wristops mean?
Our products are tested with ISO (International Organization for standardization) standard 2281. This means that product is water-resistant. In addition to the term “water resistant” watches may be marked with an indication of a test overpressure given as a pressure in bars (3bar / 10bar) or as a depth in meters (30/100 meters). These indications however do not correspond to a diving depth but refer to the pressure at which the water overpressure test was conducted. This means that it is not possible to dive to a depth of 30/100 meter with Suunto outdoor or training wristop computer. Rain, shower, swimming and other normal exposure to water will not affect its operation but the buttons shall not be pressed under water in any circumstances. NOTE! Outdoor and training wristop computers are not meant for diving.
