SUUNTO ADVIZOR
The Suunto Advizor
is the ideal companion for all the outdoor people from beginners to
professionals. The Suunto Advizor offers unique combination of altimeter,
barometer, electronic compass, chronometer and heart rate monitor
in one compact package. The heart rate monitor allows the user to
monitor the impact of altitude and vertical rate of movement on the
heart rate. All these features together make the Advizor an ideal
personal trainer for every outdoor enthusiast.
Your personal outdoor trainer
Advizor offers altimeter, barometer, digital compass and more. Additional
features include dual time, easy access to daily total ascent/descent,
as well as a complete heart rate monitor (HRM). Other features include
electroluminescent backlight, user-replaceable battery as well as
a durable plastic casing water-resistant to 100ft/30m.
Put all your heart into it
The unit is available with or without transmitter belt. Advizor enables
the user to set upper and lower limits in one beat increments for
target zone training, featuring audible and visual alarms alerting
the user that they are exceeding preset limits. Easy to use with the
auto-start of the heart rate measurement, Advizor’s HRM mode also
features a stopwatch as well as an interval timer. Using either one
of the timers, Advizor will store the crucial information for viewing
after training including: training time, maximum, minimum and average
heart rate, as well as time spent in, above and below the target zone
during training.
Measure your vertical performance
Advizor’s altimeter ranging up to 9,000 m / 29,500 ft simultaneously
displays and stores into the logbook, current altitude, vertical ascent/descent
rate as well as heart rate. This feature allows the user to follow
the impact of altitude and vertical ascent rate on the heart beat
while hiking, mountain biking or skiing. In addition to your total
vertical ascent/descent and number of runs skied, you can easily view
your maximum, minimum and average heart rate during the day and time
spent in, above or below your target zone if you set one before heading
out.
Accurate readings
The electronic compass has a bubble level for accurate readings. In
a horizontal position, when the liquid bubble of the level is centered,
the Advizor is able to give bearings with 3-degree-accuracy. Other
information shown in the compass mode are the cardinal or half-cardinal
point and the North-South arrow. The compass can also be set to track
a certain bearing, which helps following of the chosen direction in
the terrain. The declination adjustment function allows the user to
correct the difference between true North and magnetic North.
Keep one step ahead of the storm
The Advizor displays the current barometric pressure and temperature,
which is valuable information for forecasting the weather changes.
The Advizor automatically records barometric data for the past four
days: the first six hours in one-hour intervals and after that in
six-hour intervals. When the reference altitude is correctly set,
the instrument also shows the present sea level pressure, which makes
it easier to read and understand the barometric pressure at high altitudes.
However, when on tour on the mountains, don’t forget that the detected
barometric pressure changes when you are moving in the vertical direction,
which makes tracing of weather changes more complicated.
