The Suunto Lumi Altimeter Watch combines casual class and technical features to get the job done in the mountains, at the office, or out to dinner. Your friends will never guess that this polished stainless steel watch includes an altimeter, barometer, and compass, or that it provides data in English, Spanish, German, and French. The Lumi Altimeter watch tracks sunrise and sunset in 400 worldwide locations, so you'll never miss that perfect time to pop a bottle of wine on the beach. This Suunto watch also records important dates, so you remember to wish your friend a happy birthday before you head into the mountains for a week.
Bottom Line: Whether you're going climbing or heading to work, strap the Suunto Lumi Altimeter Watch around your wrist before you leave the house.
I bought the Florette to replace a Vector that died and I love it. The technical features deliver as promised. I find the altimeter easier to calibrate and more reliable than my old Vector. The only annoying thing is, it determines altitude based on air pressure, so if the weather changes as your elevation does, you'll get thrown off a bit . It's smart and distinctive-looking, although for a woman's watch, it's just as large and clunky as any other Suunto. The high-shine case and glass crystal look great but I'm a little afraid to take it outside because it's just a matter of time before it gets banged and scratched up.
I won't go into too much detail, since I'll be repeating just about every other review. I love the watch, but the strap sucks. I wish I would have gotten the one with the black strap, because this one is turning colors already. It is red-orange, and the edges are turning brown. Also, this one is the regular strap with a buckle, and it's really hard to keep the tail in the keeper, its constantly sliding off. I put a rubber grommet on the strap to keep this from happening. I still would buy this watch, but get the other type of strap (the terra or florette).
