Suunto SK7 SKU# SQTSK7/SNTSK7WC

[ShakaZulu]

My compass has a BIIIIG bubble, and I can't find the contact info of Suunto to bitch about it...just going to buy a new one, but two online dealers both show the compass to be zone 1/NH, but different part numbers???

Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass: at Prime Scuba

Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass

What is going on???

If you want to contact someone you will have to go through Aqua Lung who distributes Suunto products here in the US. Otherwise you'd be calling Finland for Suunto. The part # for the wrist compass through Aqua Lung is 186570.

those aren't part numbers - those are SKUs which are specific to (as in made up by) the vendor.

aha, if Mfr Part: 186570 is the right one, then the non-dealers are selling some other parts:

Prime Scuba - Mfr Part: 41108 (says Zone 1/NH)

Divers Direct - Mfr Part: 41110 ### Update: Mfr Part is 186570

and god knows what Leisurepro is selling...although, they also say its Zone 1/NH.

### Updated the part number, not sure how I got it wrong the first time!

The Suunto compass is actually developed so that it works in more than one zone.....they split it into the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere models.

The 2 part numbers may indicate an older model that isn't set for NH or SH.....but actually zone 1, 2 etc...

and god knows what Leisurepro is selling...although, they also say its Zone 1/NH.

A 2009 catalog on aqualung.com (Australia) shows the 41108 as wrist mount and 41110 as retractor mount - which agrees with the prime scuba and divers direct descriptions.

If I were to go out on a limb I would say that Leisurepro is selling a Suunto SK7 compass.

the newer nh compass is faster more accurate in th nh, but still works world wide

Ok, cleared up my mistake above....looks like Mfr Part 186570 is the most recent....thanks.
