The Suunto Wristop Computer Barometer function provides the user with:
• an adjustable unit of measure mbar or inHg; mbar range 300 to 1,100 mbar, inHg range 8.90 to 32.40;
• an adjustable sea level pressure function ranging from 7.5-30.80 inHg / 9-,080 mbar
• a resolution of 1 mbar or 0.05 inHg;
• a one hour interval measuring to estimate barometric trend;
• difference measurement function allows zeroing of the barometer for following e.g. overnight changes in barometric pressure and
temperature;
• an automatic 4-day memory of atmospheric pressure for the last 6 hours in 1-hour intervals, thereafter, in 6-hour intervals;
• temperature compensation (temperature does not effect the pressure within the specified temperature range)
• a temperature range from -20° to 60°C or -5° to 140°F; and
• a temperature resolution of ° c or f.
note: Body heat will effect temperature when the Wristop computer is worn on the wrist. to achieve an accurate reading remove the
Wristop computer from the wrist and allow at least 15-30 minutes before reading the temperature.
To view and use the Barometer function:
check the mode Indicator arrow. If the mode arrow is not on Baro, press the [mode] button until the arrow is directly below
Baro.
In the Barometer mode (Fig. 45):
• field  displays the current temperature.
• field  displays the current absolute atmospheric pressure.
• field 3 displays the current time.
• the outer circumference graphically displays the atmospheric pressure over 00 millibars or  inHg where one complete circle is
equivalent to 00 mbar/ inHg, depending on the unit of measure chosen.
note: the absolute pressure is the actual pressure in any location at any given time. Whereas, sea level pressure is the corresponding
pressure at sea level.
