Amazon.com Product Description

Bring together style and functionality with the Suunto Observer wrist-top computer, an altimeter, barometer, and compass in one. This Observer model comes with a stainless-steel housing and stainless steel elastomer strap and is one-third smaller than earlier Suunto wrist-top computers, ideal for those wanting a more compact instrument. Waterproof to 100 feet, the Observer is designed for outdoor use with a rugged, shock-resistant body and backlit dial.

Suunto has improved its altimeter to allow the Observer's logbook to display and record at the same time. The altimeter allows you to view the current altitude with a range up to 29,500 feet and a resolution of 10 feet. The Observer features 24 hours of logbook memory, and the improved logbook stores up to 40,000 feet of data. With the push of a button, you can measure ascent and descent rates between stages with altitude simultaneously. The barometer allows you to measure the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, measure absolute pressure, and follow changes in barometric pressure and temperature.

The Observer's compass shows directional bearing in degrees and cardinal or half-cardinal point. There is a north-south arrow, and a bearing tracking function displays locked bearing, actual bearing, and the difference between these declination adjustments. The compass's bubble level ensures a reading accuracy to within 2 to 3 degrees.

Watch functions include displays for day, time, and date with three programmable alarms plus a stopwatch and countdown timer. The Observer comes with a replaceable battery, which lasts up to 18 months, and a one-year warranty.

Suunto watch.......2007-10-05

The product is great, although a mix-up with Parcelforce (delivering it in the UK) meant I received it three weeks late :(

Observer .......2007-08-28

this is the best sport watch I've ever had. a bit complicated but I need to go through the manual. I recommend you all to buy

Kick ASS.......2007-06-07

These watches are the bomb despite what they say about the strap or the stupid alarm, nobody gets these watchs for there alarms they get them to conquer without fear!! YEAH!!

Sweet piece of technology.......2007-05-07

I have had this watch for a couple of months now and I really love it. I mainly got it because it had all the features that I wanted, plus it wasn't like wearing a laptop on my wrist. The other watches that I looked at had the features, but they were simply too large for everyday use. The titanium looks great and is incredibly light. It is phenonmenal that Suunto was about to jam all that technology into this little package. They did a great job with the styling. I wear it in an office environment everyday. The compass comes in handy when I get lost between the restroom and my cube, too. :)

No complaints here. Outstanding watch.

Cool looking... but definite drawbacks.......2007-02-10

Bought this watch after my beloved (plastic case) highgear axis finally bit the dust. I've only played with it for a couple of days, but here's my take:

Pros:

1. Really great looking.
The metal case is the perfect size (the other suunto watch-- the vector-- is way too big for me and looks ridiculous) This one looked "right" ad soon as I put it on.

2. Some nice features.
I especially like the compass bearing tracking (keeps you on your bearing by showing the differential). Sweet! it will probably take some time to just learn everything.

3. The band is easily adjusted to fit
No jeweler necessary. It also looks very nice. However, see the caveats below regarding the band...

Cons:

1. No altimter/ barometric graph.
My highgear had a nifty graph which showed the trend over the past couple of hours. No such luck here, only a 3 position arrow sign. It's possible to see the historical barometric pressure, but not graphically.

2. Weather station is crude compared to highgear.
Again, my highgear has neat weather forecasting icons (which were amazingly accurate!). No such luck with the suunto.

3. Don't make a mistake when trimming the band!
Adjusting to fit is quick and easy, but keep in mind you do it by CUTTING segments of the elastomer strap... don't cut too much because there is NO going back! Also, leave some space if you plan to gain weight...

4. Stainless???? Not really.
As mentioned, the band is elastomer with a couple of metal plates on the top. The back of the case is all plastic. Also disturbing is the advice in the manual "the buttons shall not be pressed if exposed to water in any circumstances" Geez!

5. White on black display
Neat looking, but I have to admit, much harder to read than the standard black on white.

With all my whining, you'd think I'd return it... but believe it or not, the looks outweigh the drawbacks (I know, I'm shallow.) Plus I do like the compass features. So overall, I'm sticking with it!

Amazon.com Product Description

This handy appliance is ideal for the kitchen or craft studio or any place in which the right music might inspire you to achieve your best. The Spacemaker 75295 combination CD player and AM/FM stereo radio, digital clock, and timer conserves space by mounting neatly beneath cabinet or other fixture. GE includes all necessary hardware and a bilingual installation template (English and Spanish).

The 75295 has a light, clean, streamlined design. Its twin 3-inch speakers are beveled downward for optimum sound quality at your listening position, and its cord functions as its FM antenna, so positioning is key for reception (and, of course, the cord has to reach the outlet).

The Spacemaker's countdown timer is great for kitchen placement. It can be set for up to two hours, and it has an alarm that sounds at 0.00. If the CD or radio is on when the alarm sounds, the unit will soften the peripheral sound so that the alarm can be heard. An included remote control simplifies operation.

Customer Reviews:

Worst buy ever!.......2006-09-14

I wish I read the reviews here before I bought this product. I read some reviews of people who were very happy with it, I also noted that they all JUST bought it. Mine was great for a year and a half. Then the CD player stopped working just like everyone else. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. You may love it at first but it will not last!

Ditto with the CD Player Not Working.......2006-08-02

Have exactly the same problem with the CD player; was thinking of having it repaired or replacing it but thanks to all of your reviews I realize that I would be wasting my money! Thank-you,

Disappointed with GE product.......2006-05-08

Purchase Ge 75295 Ultra-Slim Spacemaker couldn't pick up any of the radio stations just Static.
Took it back and exchanged it for another one, the same problem.
Will never buy another GE Electronic product.

Pure Junk.......2006-03-15

Worked for about a year and now, like everyone else has noted in these reviews, it won't recognize the CD's you put in it.

NEVER buy this product-Negative stars!.......2006-02-18

I have purchased 2 units and neither one work! I have contacted GE about this matter and, like others, they want me to pay to return it to them and the matter is still not resolved. The CD doesn't work and the radio is unpreditctable at best. I will never buy a GE electronic! GE knows about the problems but still continues to take your money!
