Do not use DEET

Suunto actually warns about using DEET. There is also a seal inside the watch which can be affected, as well as the seals around the buttons. If you see condensation on the inside of the face YOUR WATCH IS NO LONGER WATERPROOF. This has happened to me several times on an x6hr and it has always proved that the water proofing has been destroyed as subsequent exposures to water always lead to more condensation.
