The Vector Goes Green - Literally

The Suunto Vector HR takes you into the wild zone, coming out in a new forest green look to complement the existing colors in the range. It features a dark green face and housing, ratcheting up the choices for outdoor users who want Suunto’s classic altimeter, barometer, compass watch and want to make statement.


The Suunto Vector is iconic among mountaineers and has won numerous awards since it was launched in 1998. It remains a hugely popular watch thanks to its useful functionality, reliability and robust design.

The HR, with a comfortable heart rate belt, is a tool for explorers on the mountain or training to get there. It features all the essential functions required to survive and enjoy adventures.

127 Hours and the Suunto Vector

The upcoming movie, 127 Hours, recreating the dramatic true events involving Aron Ralston, a mountain climber who amputated his own arm in order to free himself after being trapped by a boulder should be good. Ralston became trapped for five days (127 hours!) in the isolated canyon of Robbers Roost, Utah in 2003 after a boulder fell on his arm. Ralston amputated his own arm, scaled a 65-feet wall and hiked more than eight miles to find help.
The Suunto Vector plays a very important role in the dramatic movie--documenting every minute, second and hour of the whole ordeal. We can't wait to see the movie, which opens November 5th, 2010.
