Sleek and feminine, versatile and intuitive, a new women's outdoor instrument equally suited for traveling with friends or trekking in the Himalayas.

Suunto, the world-leader in outdoor wristop computers, announces the new Suunto Lumi, designed for women who enjoy an active lifestyle. The first outdoor instrument of its kind, Suunto Lumi combines advanced ABC (altimeter, barometer, and compass) functions with new benefits including sunrise and sunset times, personal day counter, an intuitive user interface, and a menu in four languages.

Suunto Lumi is versatile enough to work both as an outdoor instrument and as a daily timepiece and can also be customized with the help of accessories. Straps in different colours and patterns make it easy to fit one's current mood. With the carabiner jacket, Suunto Lumi is protected against rough handling and can be attached anywhere. With the pendant, Suunto Lumi transforms into a stylish timepiece, indispensable at any time, day or night. 
 
 "The Suunto Lumi is a true innovation. It is the first outdoor instrument specifically made for women and also designed by women" says Anna Markelin, product manager for Suunto Lumi. "Suunto Lumi is for any active woman who enjoys the outdoors - and even better, with the help of different straps and accessories, it will suit any occasion as well. It is stylish enough for everyday use and at the same time Suunto Lumi is a high-quality, truly outdoor watch with all the functions you might need.

"In designing the Suunto Lumi, we had to surpass the world's best-selling outdoor wristop, the Suunto Vector," explains Suunto President Juha Pinomaa. "Over seventy years of outdoor experience combined with feedback from climbers and skiers worldwide allowed us to do it. Now we continue our heritage in this category that we have been building and expect the category to expand with our new products."

Designed for the planner within, the Suunto Lumi features an adjustable day counter to or from a personal event, such as a deadline or a friend's birthday, as well as daily sunrise and sunset times. Programmable for specific regions and cities, the sunrise and sunset times can help the user arrive at a destination before nightfall or assess remaining daylight for running, hiking, or gardening.

The Suunto Lumi will be available in fall 2007.
