Not made in China

Stick with the Vectors, and X-landers. They are the ones that I am fairly sure are made in Finland.

At the moment, I'm using SUUNTO KB-20, which is surely a perfect instrument for outdoor use, whether it's professional marine use or a hobbiest swimmer. I'm not an all time Suunto user so I don't know much about the stores from where you can purchase a Suunto (not China made); since SUUNTO KB-20 is my ever first Suunto watch.

Hi,

on friday,,,
a light black core.

overall i really like the watch

pros
- nice size
- great features
- looks good


Cons
- the loose bezel makes it feel like a cheap disposable £10 fashion watch (not a £200 sports watch),, why not just use a solid plastic or solid metal bezel instead,,
one with a decent knurling on the outside?

- it doesn't feel like a very tough watch at all,
30m water resistance is fine as long as it is really 30m. otherwise, going on the standard other watches apply,,,it's barely splash resistant.


- the strap is thin and again,,, feels just plain cheap

this just doesnt feel like an outdoor watch.
