Suunto Elementum Terra Altimeter Watch


Great watch by Suunto, they kept this watch simple without cutting on the Suunto tradition. The modes are easy to go trought with the jog dial and the watch will change mode (ie Altimeter-Barometer) automatically unlike the other Suunto Model. The negative face take a bit to get use to and is sometimes hard to read. The night light is excellent and the rubber band is very confortable ( very soft rubber), no 2nd time zone.

I had an Observer for ten years, it got me through two Leadvilles but it is scratched badly. So I decided on the Elementum Steel.
First thing out of the box that is quite obvious; this watch is bomb proof, solid, and a bit heavy (steel is real) but I got used to it quickly. Slightly larger than my Observer. Skinny wrists had to take off 5 links, but it feels right.
Other reviews say it has a second time zone, it doesn't, if I have to check the time in the Himalayas I use my I Pod Touch. Also some reviews said it has seconds, it doesn't but the stop watch works well for counting.
Other reviews say it is dim, it is dimmer than my Observer but not by much, and yes you can increase the contrast which helps but contrast isn't brightness. Still, after a while wearing it I found it to be fine. The back light works great.
I use it for biking, hiking, backpacking, and some mountaineering.
The buttons took me a day to get used to them. The compass is simple just one button. I found the best way to calibrate the compass is this: put it in calibration mode, it will say Level and Level will blink if it isn't level. This is hard to do if you try rotating the watch. So get it level and just turn yourself while holding the watch. Simple and works.
It is large but it's a beauty, quality, design, construction all add up and this one has it. And for me not made in China is a big deal, what they are doing to Tibet is nothing short of genocide.
It is expensive, I got the steel so I can swim with it. My Observer is still going after ten years and lots of abuse, I expect this one will last longer, for me it was worth it.
I will take off 1/2 a star because of the dimness, otherwise it's a high quality durable piece that I can wear anywhere.

Got this watch as a replacement for a Suunto Observer, which had started to fail after almost ten years of regular use. Considered the Suunto Core, but wasn't convinced it would last long. The Elementum, like the Observer, is made in Finland, and feels like it's built to higher standards.

Planned to get the leather strap at first, because I had to replace the rubber strap on the Observer several times. But the leather strap looked cheap, and the rubber strap on the Elementum is made from a different, softer material, so I decided to give it a try. We'll see how long it lasts.

The Elementum has the same basic functions as the Observer: date and time, alarm, stopwatch, compass, altimeter/barometer, and trip log. However, it only has one time zone, doesn't show seconds (except in setup mode), and doesn't let you adjust the declination for the compass.

The altimeter/barometer mode selection is automatic, based on the rate of change. This is convenient, but a consequence of this is that the watch often misses some elevation gain when hiking, while also ending up with wildly inaccurate numbers after a few days in town without calibration.

The Elementum has just 3 buttons, one of which can be used as a dial. Access to all functions is quick, though not always intuitive. For example, you twist the dial up to enter stopwatch mode, and down to view log entries. I like using the dial to adjust the altimeter, unless I'm wearing gloves.

The dark face is too hard to read, even more so than the dark face on the Observer. I found a hidden setting to increase the contrast, which helps a bit. Hope that won't reduce the battery life too much, especially since you can't replace the battery on your own.

The watch has been accurate so far, losing no more than 5 seconds during the past month.

Bulova Men's 98B152 Precisionist Champlain Rubber Strap Watch


I bought this watch at macys for about 335 dollars during black friday. I have to say, for the price, the watch looks amazing. The quality and design make it look like it's worth atleast 2 grand. It has a classy vibe, thanks to the rose gold but the red accents inside the dial give it a sporty image. The result is that you can wear it anywhere. If you're of darker color, then this watch really goes well with your skin. I've never liked the look of stainless steel and yellow gold on my skin so this watch made my day. If you have a pale skin tone then this watch will also look great. It is a big watch so if you don't want people to notice this watch then its not for you. But, you would be missing out on the compliments haha. Also, look up the precisionist line. It's the most accurate watch in the world. Overall: this is a great buy at this price.

What a great watch super nice look at a reasonable price i am very happy with this watch I love the band i have never been a fan of the metal wrist bands so this is perfect THANKS I would buy from again

Wish I would have checked Amazon before purchasing at Jeweler's! Howver, I fell in love with this watch and had to buy it! Wasn't even thinking about a better price. Wanted a black sexy watch that could also be casual or dressy..this one is it. Sexy and sharp--even better looking in person. Has nice flash!

TAG Heuer Men's CAV518B.FT6016 Grand Carrera Automatic Chronograph Watch

I have known TAG Heuer for years, but never had a chance to own one. Like most people, I first saw this watch displayed at a jewllery store. It was absolutely beatiful and amazing. and of course the price did shock me with over $7k retail price. the black titanium case with red stitching only makes it look even better. Not likely other expensive watch, this watch it's as heavy as I thought, and it's so comfortable to wear and fits my wrest so perfectly. As a sport watch, this is THE one. The price on amazon is unbeatable, and the amazon watch hot-line salesman explain every especial thing about this watch before I decide to buy it from them. The rubber band is very easy to adjust, and if you want a different, it's very easy to switch.(I think the leather costs about $500 each) And the watch arrived the next day. Thank you amazon.com for a great watch with great price.


TAG Heuer Men's CAV518B.FT6016 Grand Carrera Automatic Chronograph Watch


TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
