The Suunto Elementum Aqua showed up in a discrete black cube, with just one word crafted on: "SUUNTO." The one I received has black case, black rubber band, and positive face. The black case is stainless 316L, the common "marine grade metal," which is really tasteful. Through some distance it might resemble an elegant dark G-Shock watch.

Actually a friend of mine made exactly this comment; nevertheless a closer inspection uncovers its originality. The 41mm bezel has 8 hex screws and its combo with the sapphire glass as well as the curved case remind me of the viewing port of an atmospheric scuba diving suit. In fact I do think that this is the most breathtaking function of the watch, and though it resembles the bezel of a UTS model, the execution by Suunto seems to be excellent.

One more one of a kind function of the watch is the massive crown pusher at two o' clock, the one function that's shared in between all the Elementum instruments.

Being bigger than the simple pusher at 3 o' clock, it really stands apart, adding an additional touch of various design culture. The crystal has yellow-colored circular and linear marks that define the measurements taken under water. The 2 yellow lines help to notify about the present and maximum depth, dive time, while the round marking may be the analogue temperature scale.

Suunto Elementum Aqua operates in 2 modes: TIME and DIVE mode. The time function is easy enough, the hour and the mins are placed at the middle of the display, while at the bottom of the display the date is found. Really don't question the reading of seconds, the main display lacks it, despite the empty top part of the screen which could give you the perfect space for this reading. The explanation for this particular omission could be an attempt to prevent the refreshing of the screen every second and conserve some battery. The setup of the time requires pressing the crown for a few moments. Then the time, date, and alarm set up is rather effortless by screwing the crown clockwise or anti-clockwise. Another intriguing function of the watch is a button lock function, which can be activated by pressing both pushers all at once. In addition, by pushing the middle pusher firmly in any mode, the backlight is triggered.

Jack Russel is a long time watch collector and understands few things about them, specifically the outdoor/sports activity types. So his opnion on Suunto Elementum and especially his favorite Suunto Elementum Terra could be taken into account before buying one. For more information: http://suuntoelementum.com/
