Description

Suunto's E-203 Altimeter

Suunto's E-203 or Escape 203 is the perfect hiker or mountaineer companion.

Features:

• Current altitude, vertical gain or loss from the start of a hike or climb, as well as your vertical ascent and descent rate in ft/h (m/h).
• Up to 20 altitude points can be stored into the memory for later reviewing.
• One-logbook memory stores total vertical ascent/descent for the log, as well as the maximum and minimum altitudes reached during the activity.
• The unit also stores the accumulated vertical ascent/descent over a longer period of time.
• The altitude range extends up to 29,500 ft (9 000 m).
• The resolution is adjustable by the user to either 3ft (1 m) or 10 ft (5 m).
• The Escape 203 barometer keeps you ahead of the storm and shows the current absolute and sea level pressures, temperature as well as the barometric trend for the last 6 hours.
• The Escape 203 features also a pressure alarm. In activated state the alarm will alert the user to pressure changes of 4 mbar/0.10 inHg over a period of 3 hours.
• A special feature of the Escape 203 is a "locking mechanism" that keeps the altitude from changing when the unit is used for weather monitoring purposes only.
• Similarly, when the device is used as altimeter, the sea level pressure stays constant and the barometric changes only affect the altitude and absolute pressure reading.
• The resolution of the barometer is 1 mbar/0.05 inHg.
• The barometer memory automatically stores the barometric pressure and temperature history for the last 24 hours, as well as the maximum and minimum values during this time.
• It also stores the maximum and minimum pressure and temperature values over time, which makes it valuable for estimating the barometric trend.
• In addition, the Escape 203 has a time mode with normal watch functions such as current time with 12/24 hour format, weekday and date.
