Suunto recently announced - and will start shipping – two new lines on September 1st, 2007:
Suunto Core is a new watch line geared toward men; they sport the altimeter, barometer and
compass capabilities as well as some unique features such as a storm alarm, etc.
Suunto Lumi is the first line of watches from
Suunto specifically designed for women. Sharing the same capabilities of the
Core line, the
Lumi watches sport clean design and amazing looks.
Speaking of design, both the
Core and
Lumi watches feature looks that – while still unmistakably
Suunto – are a fairly dramatic departure for the brand. Both lines are truly appropriate in any setting, making them extremely versatile to the user.
Both lines will also have dedicated accessories. Nine different
Suunto Core ‘accessory straps’ will be available, and the
Lumi will offer ‘accessory packs,’ which include two watch
band designs and either a pendant attachment or molded carabiner jackets to allow for strapless use. The
Core straps and
Lumi accessory
packs will allow users to further custom-tailor their
Suuntos to their needs and tastes.
Meanwhile, we're also offering
Suunto's limited-edition Black Collection for this year, which includes special all-black, ion-plated versions of the
Suunto Observer,
Observer ST (we are one of VERY few retailers to offer the ST) and
X6M - all of which offer the
Suunto ABCs (altimeter, barometer,
compass) as well as other functions.
So, there's some new stuff for ya with the capabilities you're looking for.

 | Compass |  | Compasses are sensitive, absolutely crucial instruments to precision navigation. The earth's magnetic field, inclination, and your longitude and latitude all influence the horizontal plane of a compass needle. As a result, compasses are balanced for different geographical zones. Suunto Compasses overcome this limitation to traditional compasses by using a simple 'Two Zone System'. With a Suunto Compass, the only 'balancing zones' are the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to this innovation, certain Suunto Compasses come equipped with useful features like luminous needles and marks, centimeter/inch scales, magnifying glasses, clinometers, sighting notches, and more. | |  |
