The clasp is metal, sturdy, and inconspicuous as Replica Bell&Ross masquerades as just anotherlink in the bracelet. I was able to easily remove four links from the braceletmyself, so if you buy one of these online, you shouldn't have any trouble gettingit sized at any reputable watch dealer.The buttons on the n6HR are very nice. They are metal, perfectly sized, and providegood feedback. The Fossil and AbacusWrist Net watches both suffer from substandard buttons where the SwatchPaparazziand Suunto n6HR have an unexpectedly nice set of pushers. It's especiallyimportant that the n6HR have crisp and precise buttons because of its many timingfunctions. The backlight on the Suunto n6HR is nice and even, but I don't like thefact that you have to hold it down for about three seconds to activate it.
Themost important aspect of an alarm is the Replica Bell&Ross volume of the tone, however, which isnice and loud with the n6HR -- something Suunto has improved since their SPOTwatch debut. Navigation menu. This is a nice touch specific to the Suunto.When navigating through the time channel, the n6HR gives you a nice little menusystem to help you keep your place. The other MSN Direct watches I've reviewedmake it much more difficult to distinguish between channels and a channel'ssubmenu for first-time users. I think Suunto's inte***ce is more intuitive thanyour average MSN Direct watch. Water resistant. It's good to 100 meters, or 330 feet.In other words, swim and splash all you want, but don't dive. Price. About $399. Putting the Suunto n6HR Through Its Paces The first thing I noticed about the Suunto n6HR was probably its weight. MSN Directwatches are not small, but the n6HR manages to be fairly light weight and sturdyat the same time. The case and the bracelet are a Replica Bell&Ross combination of metal and plasticwhich at first I thought looked a little funky, but I got used to it very quickly.
