Suunto Vertical?was tested according to the?MIL-STD 810H military-grade standard?in an external testing laboratory Toptester to ensure maximum reliability and durability.
List of the passed tests:
- MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 500.6 Low Pressure (Altitude)
Checks if the watch can function at high altitudes (like on a mountain) where air pressure is lower. - MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 501.7 High Temperature, operation
Ensures the watch works in high temperatures without malfunctioning. - MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 502.7 Low Temperature, operation
Verifies the watch's performance in cold conditions. - MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 503.7 Temperature Shock
Tests how well the watch handles sudden changes in temperature, like moving from a hot desert to an air-conditioned room. - MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 510.7 Dust
Ensures the watch is resistant to dust, which can affect functionality and visibility. - MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 516.8 Shock
Checks the watch's ability to withstand physical shocks, like being knocked or dropped. - MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 516.8 Drop
Specifically tests the watch's resilience to drops from certain heights onto hard surfaces. - MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 512.6 Immersion
