I was primed and excited about my new Observer purchase, but, I made one glaring mistake ... I found out yesterday that it does not have a Count-Down Timer feature.

All of the other SUUNTO Cross-Country have Count-Down Timers.
What really attracted me to the Observer was its reduced size,
it was stainless steel, it had a mineral glass face, and it was more water resistant than the other Cross-Country models.

THIS IS THE ONLY STAINLESS STEEL MODEL in this category and SUUNTO OMITS the COUNT-DOWN TIMER !!!!!
THIS IS A GREAT OMISSION!1

I canceled my order. I guess I'll consider the X6 or S9/X9.
While the X6 is still a plastic resin, at least it has a mineral face.
I'll have to wait even longer.

I am so disappointed and confused.
