It all started with the Vector. This venerable model has been around since 1998 (that's a lifetime in technology years). It marked a new era in sports enhancement and improvement for countless athletes. The Vector was the mother of all the others, like the Suunto Lumi watch, that followed, and it's still one of our bestsellers. With good reason, it has become a legend in its own right.
For Suunto Vector watch and Suunto core watch fans, it's all about the ABC's (altimeter, barometer, compass). Take your Vector up into the mountains and watch it go to work. The altimeter will tell you how high you've climbed and how fast; it will even remember that information for up to 24 hours. Use the altimeter logbook to record automatically your total ascents and descents, so you can wow friends or total strangers with your athletic prowess. The barometer feature just makes good sense if you want to avoid a tornado or snowstorm. You can easily predict severe weather by noting if the pressure is going up, down, or staying steady and at what rate. The temperature function has its obvious benefits. Find out whether that rain is going to start freezing. And when someone says it feels like it's 90 degrees, let them know smugly that it's only 86.
For Women Only: Suunto Lumi Watch
Suunto's watch female designers took the lead on this one. In response to the desire of women athletes for a high-performance watch that's more in scale with their typically smaller wrists, the Suunto Lumi watch was born. Not only is the Lumi smaller, but it's also just plain beautiful. From the clean, modern font used on the face to the simply chic casing, this watch will never look out of place - even with your favorite dress. The band options are particularly gorgeous. Pick the sleek, muted orange of the Sportif, or choose one of the two upgraded bands. All are so hip, so now, so artistic, even non-sporting women will want one.
It goes without saying that, like the Suunto Vector watch, the Lumi has everything that a serious athlete could want. The indispensable altimeter, barometer, and compass are paired with a storm alarm, weather trend tracker, sunrise and sunset calendar for more that 400 spots worldwide, and even more. The time has come for women athletes to have it all: fashion and function, polish and performance, artistry and accuracy.
