Suunto Lumi Watch, Female Pride

Are you a woman who loves trekking and adventure? What all are the gadgets that you carry along? I think a map, altimeter, barometer, stop-watch, and a magnetic compass are a few must-haves. But isn't carrying so many gadgets a pain? Maybe, but they are essential too. So, why not carry a device which offers all these functions? You got it right-I am talking about the current crop of sport watches which apart from telling time can predict weather changes, tell your exact location above the sea levels and guide you on your way.

The Suunto Lumi watch is a wristop computer designed for tough women. At first glance, I almost screamed 'Oh! It's so huge', but when I explored its features, I was left in awe. It has a barometer, altimeter and magnetic compass in place. Speaks four languages: English, French, Spanish and German, and even includes a weather trend indicator and storm alarm.

It is the regular kind of gadget that an outdoors person would love to possess; you can even wear it around your neck as a necklace (just remove the strap and wear it as a pendant). I feel that a smaller dial would have been smarter. If you're seriously into adventure sports and don't mind spending about 16k on a watch, this is for you.

Price: Rs. 15, 400 to Rs. 18, 400
