The operative word was MAY not be entitled to the full 2 year warranty.
Suunto is going to protect their brand image, and so will probbably give you service, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO!!!!
Look it appears that no matter what I say, you do not want to see that my point of view might be correct. So I tell you what, contact
Suunto USA. Their number is 800 543-9875 and ask them what their stand is on buying a watch from an non-authorized
Suunto Dealer.
