Suunto buyers beware

[kwhkg]

If you buy a Suunto watch you might be in trouble when it comes to replacing the battery and o-ring

the only local service center is Time Depot in Rockwell. They dont seem to have any supply of batteries and o-rings. If you ask when will they receive a supply they cant answer. for my particular model its been 9 months already without a battery and or-ring

an email to Suunto customer service finally got a reply that basicaly said "well thats your problem we dont control our service centers"

have you tried the dive shops that sell suunto dive computers? they may have those in stock.

why don't you contact Underseas Scuba Center They are a big service center and they have all the parts.

I believe Scubaworld is the official distributor of Suunto dive computers and they stock the battery replacement kit for it.
Time Depot is a distributor of all other suunto watches (sailing, golf, tri, etc.) and they will not have the replacement kit for the dive computers line.
If you have a Suunto dive comp try with scubaworld

yes i know scubaworld but my watch is not dive computer, its called Vector.

my point is that the manifactorer was of no help, in fact rather rude, when i asked thir help via internet where to find the battery and oring

what kind of battery is it? something like 2450? most of them are available at your standard camera store, or even hardware store...and you shouldnt need to change the oring everytime unless it is damaged...

Its very easy to order the battery replacement kit for the Mosquito, I have done it several times, come with a an extra back to the watch in case you 'hash' it while taking it out. Order it online it's cheap and simple, I'm here in PI now can carry 2 spares batt. kits all the time!

Ah that's cute...you couldn't handle the whole 'take out old battery, put in new one' yourself? :mooner:
