So I just checked out that Sinn watch. Very cool. How does it wear? I have 6.5” wrists and it’s listed as a 44mm.

It wears a bit smaller than the 44 mm. I think its because of the crown at 10. Also, the case it self is closer to 43 mm with the bezel overhanging to 44. It wears smaller but it is a big watch, big and very legible 😄

Thanks for your service dude! Suunto makes a great watch aka "wrist-top computer" lol. Until Protrek/G Shock, Garmin, et al came along, think they were some of the first to lean heavy into the whole "smarter/ABC" watch thing right?

My issued Vector still runs, and love the battery hatch.

I think you’re right. They had altimeters and digital compasses and stuff like that. Never really trusted them though 😜 a good old analog compass is the way to go.

I remember that chest strap thingy Suunto used to sell for measuring your heart rate during exercise while wearing the watch lol. #oldschool
