The legacy of Suunto watches began in 1936 when Tuomas Vohlonen invented the liquid-filled compass, an essential tool for the Finnish troops during WWII that helped them track where they were in a flat country full of ice, snow and dense forests. This type of innovative technology set the stage for Suunto, and the direction Suunto watches would follow over the next 70 years and their philosophy of giving people more personal control of their environment.
In the 1970s, in response to the dilemma divers faced while trying to strap a compass onto their wrist underwater to find their way, Suunto launched its first dedicated diving instruments, which could calculate depth in addition to direction.
In the 80s computer era, Suunto used this breakthrough technology to develop the first dive computers, which calculated water pressure and temperature while providing information on how to conduct a safe dive, causing a dramatic drop in diving accidents.
In the ‘90s, Suunto went back it’s land roots and developed a wrist-worn instrument called the Suunto Vector that provides information on the wearer’s altitude, weather changes, temperature, time as well as direction.
Today, Suunto watches can measure just about anything, and provide hikers, recreational users, and the everyday wearers information directly to their wrist, like acceleration, rotation, position, impact, orientation and speed. Some Suunto watches even provide wearers the chance to view appointments, receive messages and news flashes, and know the exact time wherever you they are with automatic time zone adjustment.
