Hands On Overview Of The Renowned Suunto Elementum Aqua Outdoor Watch.

The Suunto Elementum Terra came in a discrete black cube, with merely one word crafted on: “SUUNTO.” The one I obtained has black case, black rubber band, and positive face. The black case is stainless steel 316L, the typical “marine grade steel,” and is extremely stylish. From some distance it may appear like a classy dark G-Shock watch.

Actually a friend of mine made exactly this remark; nonetheless a good look shows its originality. The 41mm frame has eight hex screws and its combo with the sapphire glass and also the curved case remind me of the viewing port of an atmospheric scuba diving suit. In fact I believe that this is actually the most breathtaking characteristic of the watch, even though it looks like the bezel of a UTS model, the execution by Suunto appears to be remarkable.

A different unique function of the watch is the big crown pusher at 2 o’ clock, the one feature that is shared among all the Elementum devices.

Being larger than the simple pusher at three o’ clock, it really stands out, adding an extra touch of different design culture. The crystal has yellowish circular and linear markings that define the measurements taken under water. Both yellow lines help to inform about the present and maximum depth, and the dive time, while the circular marking is the analogue temperature scale.

Suunto Elementum Aqua operates in a couple of modes: TIME and DIVE mode. The time function is pretty simple, the hour and the minutes are placed at the center of the display, while at the end of the display the date is discovered. Really don’t question the reading of seconds, the primary display does not have it, regardless of the empty top part of the display which could supply the ideal space for this reading. The reason behind this omission could be an effort to avoid the refreshing of the screen each second and conserve some battery. The setup of the time requires pressing the crown for a few moments. Then the time, date, and alarm set up is quite easy by screwing the crown clockwise or anti-clockwise. One more helpful feature of the watch is a button lock function, which is triggered by pressing the two pushers together. Furthermore, by pushing the middle pusher firmly in any mode, the backlight is turned on.

Mattew Demoa is a long time wrist watch collector and understands few things about them, particularly the outside/activity types. So his opnion on Suunto Elementum may be taken into account before purchasing one. To find out more: http://suuntoelementum.com/
