As one of the first buyers of the Vector (back when Suunto had maybe 3 watches in their lineup), I've drooled over many of the newer Suunto watches from the X-lander to the current Core. However, I just can't justify the new purchase because my Vector fails to break down!

People have gotten accustomed to seeing me with the huge yellow watch on my wrist because I never leave home without it. It's probably logged over 2000 days of use and it's gone through intense cold, heat, water, dust, etc. The only issues I've had are very minor. The bubble has disappeared and the logo has rubbed about. That's about it.

The watch is pretty much indestructible and as an added bonus, spare parts are plentiful. This year, I finally changed the wrist strap and battery cover because they were showing signs of wear. I guess I'll have to wear this watch for another 5+ years.
