Summary: Works great! Needs more content
Review: As far as the MSN Direct service goes, it is very easy to setup and works very well. I especially LOVE being able to get my Outlook appointments on the watch; over air! The service is great and has lots of potential. I'd like to see more content, like F1 Racing stats, comics, personal portfolio summary (I don't want indvidual stocks, I just want to know how my portfolio is doing)...The watch is of appropriate quality, size and styling for a Suunto; either you like it or not. If not, Fossil has some fine choices too. I got the Suunto because it is waterproof and has a lap timer.

Summary: large mother
Review: cool technology, but the styling and size of this watch are insane. my recommendation is that you buy it......if you like strapping boat anchors to your wrist. i saw another two (Fossil and Abacas) that i could actually fit under my shirt sleeve. i think that i will return this and get one of those.

Summary: overrated, again microsoft in over it's head
Review: I feel gyped after having used this a few months. It has a few neat features and keeps perfect time but it's ugly, heavy and has no two way anything and to have to pay MSN on top of this is obscene

Summary: overrated, again microsoft in over it's head
Review: I've had my Suunto for about 2 months, and I really like it. Pros:
-Battery lasts a long time, probably can go 7-10 days without a recharge. When traveling, can recharge from your laptop with a USB port as long as you have the cable.
-Love having Outlook pushed to my watch, don't have to whip out the PDA to see where I need to be next. The watch will count down the amount of time to your next appointment (or how late you are!).
-Correct time as long as you're in the MSN direct service area.
-Sports content is betting better, given the late start time for NBA playoffs, I can pop out of bed in the AM and check out the scores and the box scores.
-Excellent customer support from MSNdirect. I've e-mailed tech support and always gotten a response - one that works - within a couple of hours. Cons:
-Will MSN direct survive or will you be left with a $300 watch that functions like a $20 watch?
-Some features a little buggy - I've had to reset the watch to receive content and correct time information when traveling.
-The only watch that will cost you $60 every year that you own it. You could buy a lot of watches for that money. Bottom line: great for gadget-freaks, the obsessive compulsive (always have the correct atomic-clock time), those with busy calendars. For me, taking a stealth peak at my watch versus pulling out a PDA or cell phone is less disruptive/obtrusive in many meeting settings.

Summary: Good product. - Thick
Review: Pros:
humongous, clear face - stunning
pretty watch
easy user interface
waterproof, bangproof, everything proof
many timer features
MSN Direct - like nothing else Cons:
$60 per year, unless you just want to keep time for $300
$300 for the watch
THICK - I thought there was a mistake on the amazon review. This seriously is half an inch thick.
No hourly weather Great product. It is still amazing to me. The backlight is strong, and I get the sports scores while riding my bike! It is easy to use for a "gadget". Note: this is much better than the Fossil/Fossil-Abacus watches. It can take a beating, and recieve messages. Graphics are clear and common. It is a great watch (I believe, because this is my first watch). Just note: this thing is really thick. Every picture seems to hide it, but not this one: shermans.gotdns.com/SuuntoN3.jpg. Think this watch over - it is different. However, it is very good.

Summary: Cool product which might not survive
Review: Really a neat, smart product, especially if you love new electronic toys. What I am concerned about is not the watch but Microsoft, which with its notorious arrogance might kill it before it has the chance to grow and glow
Their customer support is everything but support. The "first line" technician is very polite, but cannot help beyond taking your info and refering you to a "specialist", which if you are lucky, will call you in 4-5 (business) days.
Microsoft is not very good in keeping their promises either; they say the sport channal is"around the corner" and even use it in their ads, but it has been just around the corner for the last three months. They also promise "new watch face every month", well I own the watch for 3 month now and got just one new face when I subscribed.
So it's in Microsoft power to keep this watch ticking...

Summary: Suunto Quality and Style - Smart and Spot On
Review: There is nothing like this on the market today! Many of the negative reviews of this new watch focus on the watch size, but that criticism is inconsistent with Suunto designs and other versions of their products. I have owned 3 Suunto products and this is by far the best one! The new N3 features the latest dial size of their other high-end sport watches and actually turns out to be stylish and comfortable to wear. I have both the Fossil and the Suunto Spot watches and I really prefer the N3 for it's ease of use and readability. The important thing is to consider in selecting this watch is the whole package, there really is nothing else like this watch and it's capabilities. Suunto, Microsoft and MSNDirect have done an admirable job in keeping the watch simple and the service to configure, it a breeze and intuitive. Having the watch and it's streaming information channels is convenient and I have found it to be really useful as a great lifestyle product. The weather channel and the glance capabilities alone would make the watch worth the price. The calendar integration with Outlook is amazing and powerful. I have to travel 1.5 hours to work (Seattle traffic) and having this sync capability has been valuable. I find that it saves data costs over the GSM for my Smartphone by allowing me to see updates and then query in my mobile device for the detail and the accept/decline actions. Pure geek stuff, but useful to me.
