In Response To: Re: deck mounted compass (Peter)

I visited the Suunto web site (http://www.suunto.fi/) after reading this post. Has anyone used any of the watches with compass and/or barametric functions. any thoughts on accuracy, usefulness or cost.

Seems pretty cool to me.

: Suunto offers lots of high-end compasses, as well as two
: "best-value" compasses for small boat owners, like us. One is
: the ORCA (~$40) which comes with four shock cords and plastic hooks; the
: other is the PIONEER (~$50?) which is essentially an upgraded ORCA ...
: comes with a base which you would permanently mount on your deck, so the
: main compass is still detachable for storage/security reasons! Both
: compasses are available in either black or yellow housing. Of course, if
: you really need/want the very best ... check out their 95, 115 and 116
: series!! Happy hunting.

Not completely waterproof, but pretty cool anyway. *NM*
