I just purchased the
suunto T4 and so far am very happy with it, I like you was however very concerned about the plastic face but I found this other product called the invisible shield that I can apply onto the
Suunto that will keep it from being scratched for the rest of its life and will probably stay on there for the rest of its life, which is not bad for $10, the stuff actually is scratch proof, and wont come off with regular or even unregular wear and tear but you can remove it later if you choose and you cant even see it on the watch face. I hate making my first post on this forum a advertisement for another product but it really does the job.
