Wink Mariner temp & baro reading today

Today while cleaning my boat I used my on board Davis Vantage Pro weather station to track the perforance of my new Suunto for temp and baro readings..I didn't track time of readings but here are the results:

station read out 86F.....suunto(on wrist) 92F
//////////////////// 88F.....//////////////////// 95F

Baro read out 30.01 inHG...Suunto main display 30.00
///////////////// 30.04 inHG....//////////////////////// 30.05

I admitt this was a very quick comparison but as I stated in a previous post by subtracting the 4 degrees for body temp the Mariner had a temp error of only +2 and +3 degrees and the Baro measurements where all within the Suunto stated range of accuracy with the last reading being off by .01 inHG...cause I am comparing a $250 wrist computer to a $650 weather station...I'll make comparisons in the furture while crusing...and I'll supply sub mode readings of changes on the Suunto..but for now I'm very impressed with the Suunto's Mariner perforance.
