Suunto Advizor Instructions

Suunto is a subsidiary of Helsinki-based Amer Sports Corporation that also owns the Wilson and Salomon brands, amongst others. Suunto initially produced field and marine compasses. By 1987 it was making mass-produced dive computers that took the manual calculation work out of diving safety and revolutionized that industry. Suunto's Advizor product is a combination wristband instrument that includes an altimeter, barometer, compass and heart rate monitor -- called HRM.
