Suunto Mariner wrist top computer is a compact instrument which offers a number of useful functions to every motor boater and sailor. The Mariner features an accurate calendar watch with dual time, an electronic compass, a barometer as well as a sailing timer especially designed to meet the timing function requirements before and during a tough race.

The sailing timer allows the user to choose the countdown period to the start from 120 minutes to 60 minutes at ten-minute intervals, from 60 to 15 minutes at five-minute intervals and from 15 to 1 minute at one-minute intervals, depending on what signals are given in that particular race. The user can at any time adjust the countdown timer to the closest full minute: very useful for example when checking the 5-minute signal. A beep which is heard first every 10 minutes down to 60 minutes, then every minute and every 10 seconds during the last minute, alerts the user to the up-coming start. The last 10 seconds an audible signal is heard every second.

When the countdown is completed, a stopwatch will automatically start running. The range of the stopwatch is 120 hours, i.e. five days. Fifty way point times can be stored in memory for later analysis. The sailing timer has been developed together with some of the top sailors in the world, with experience from the Whitbread Around the World Race to the World Championships.

The electronic compass is a great tool for direction taking for any boater. It shows you your bearing and cardinal or half-cardinal point, a North-South arrow, and features a bearing tracking function which displays locked bearing, actual bearing and the difference between the two. Mariner also allows for declination adjustment. The rotatable bezel ring with a ratchet at every five degrees is especially useful when memorizing wind direction before the start of a sailing race.

The barometer function of the Mariner keeps the user one step ahead of the storm. In addition to current barometric pressure and temperature, Mariner gives pressure related data for the past four days.

The calendar watch of the Mariner is pre-programmed to the year 2089, has 3 daily alarms, a regular stopwatch and countdown timer. In addition, Mariner also features dual time. No matter what sea you're sailing, Mariner is always on watch! Other features include the same easy-to-use logic as in the Vector, a large display with big numerals, an electroluminescent backlight as well as a user-replaceable battery.
