Moosejaw Staff Pick
"I bought the Suunto Vector Heart Rate Monitor Watch because it's bad ass, and it has since become my everyday watch. Once you learn how the menus work, it's a breeze to navigate through all the functions. I was up in the Porcupine Mountains a few springs ago and the barometer saved my behind by helping predict a bad storm front coming through that wasn't in the forecast when we left. The temp dropped 35 degrees and we were not caught out on trail because of the Vector. The altimeter is fun too, and I've used it to track all my descents when out biking. You might think it's all just toys, but you would be surprised how useful all the information the watch provides really is."
