Suunto M9 Personal
Sailing Instrument

Suunto M9 Personal Sailing Instrument marks nothing less than a revolution in personal wrist watch equipment, - with its ability to position itself anywhere on the globe, via a built in GPS, it can track speed and bearing in addition to providing you meteorological trend information from the integral barometer and thermometer. Tested over months at sea in the most arduous conditions this is currently the ultimate sailing watch!
Winning Begins with a good start
Suunto M9 gives you instant access to all the sailing data you need allowing you to concentrate on being the first to cross the starting line. Suunto M9 calculates the correct line bias based on true wind direction and starting line location. A new bias can be calculated anytime by updating changed wind direction. It tells the distance to the starting line and whether to accelerate or slow down for perfect timing for the bang.
Who wants to sail faster?
Suunto M9 detects changes in wind direction and provides you with the information to take the shortest course to the buoy. It learns the course as you are sailing and detects reach and up-wind legs. At the same time it automatically provides layline and other important information. Suunto M9 offers simple access to a wide selection of speed-, distance-and time-derived information. Information for making the right decisions is available just under your sleeve.
Safety, if nothing else

And the barometer facility forecasts changes in the weather. It provides Man Over Board function at the push of a button. A safety device always at hand.
