Suunto Yachtsman: Perfect for Sailors

Monday, May 11th, 2009

The Suunto Yachtsman is the best sailing watch for sailing beginners and experts alike. It performs well as far as functionality is concerned. It is extremely useful for anyone sailing, especially with its onboard compass for navigation. This is not the first time that I am using Suunto Yachtsman, I have used it earlier as well and since then I have become a fan of this watch. Suunto Yachtsman watch is super helpful when you need to keep a check of the time while you are on the airport trying to catch your transferring flight. Suunto Yachtsman is a great watch as compared to other Suunto products. This particular watch looks amazing and attractive while the other Suuntos such as regatta, t3, m3 looks a bit weird and odd. This watch is water resistant and doesn’t get hit by any sailing gloves.

Suunto Yachtsman is very accurate and easy to use. If you have to figure out the timings and other data including marks on the race course this watch is surely the best choice. The tools are also very easy to use. Whenever I wear the Suunto Yachwatch I only receive positive comments and compliments from the observers. Few days back I had gone with my friend to a watch repairing shop since my friend’s watch was not working properly and was giving him a tough time. I was standing next to him and getting his watch repaired that suddenly the repair man looking at my watch made a comment saying “Is that the new Suunto Yachtsman??” I smiled at him and replied yes. “That’s by far the best of the bunch,” he said.
