#Suunto just fired 76 employees out of 300 while moving part of production and part of development to China. Here's my take.
Suunto is known for their robust hardware. They historically have designed watches specifically towards mountaineers and alpinists. I purchased my first Suunto in 2001 before GPS watches existed. It is stainless steel, taken a beating, and held up beautifully. It's very clear what their mission was. These watches are built to last.
