I have been considering ordering a Suunto Vyper computer from simplyscuba.com in the UK. They list it on their web-site for $292 including shipping (plus about $20 for import logistics that will be charged by UPS/FedEx). You will note that the list prices you see on the web site include 17.5% VAT/Sales tax -- this is deducted if ordering from the US.

I sent an e-mail yesterday to Suunto UK asking whether these guys are an authorized Suunto dealer and if the warranty would hold up if I took it to a dealer here in the USA for warranty service -- see my original e-mail and their reply below.

Dear Chris,
Simply Scuba are an authorised dealer of Suunto Diving UK. On the issue of warranty you may encounter some problems. The computer should be returned to the original distributor ie Suunto Diving UK so the Suunto distributor in the States may decline to offer help in a warranty situation. This would then require you to cover the costs of returning the computer to the UK to have any problems rectified under warranty, or pay for the repair in the States.
Servicing (other than warranty cases) of Suunto products can be carried out by a dealer who is authorised by any Suunto distributor.
Hope this helps to answer your questions.

My questions are as follows:
(1) Are they an authorized Suunto dealer?
(2) Will the warranty be valid if I have the computer shipped here to the states and need to take it to an authorized shop here in the US for service?
Thanks for you help.
