Our Review of the Suunto Black Collection
The elegant and damage-resistant watches of the new, limited edition Suunto Black Collection are suitable for everything from a trek through the mountains to a black tie function. If you're a true adventurer who can squeeze mountain climbing and a formal soiree into a single holiday, you'll never have to take off your Suunto Black.
The three watches in the Suunto B Collection feature black Ion Plating (IP) - a damage resistant coating process on all metal components. The IP process hardens the metal casing of the watch face, preventing scratches and dents that could typically rob your Suunto altimeter, barometer, and compass watch of its original luster.
The three watches available in the Suunto Black Collection are the Observer Black, the Observer ST Black, and the X6M Black. Each features a negative display (white on black) with large luminescent numbers and a bright backlight for easy observation in the dark. In addition, Suunto Black Collection watches come in a specially designed, black gift and storage box.
- All Suunto Black Collection watches are backed by a 2 year limited factory warranty
Suunto Observer Black
The Suunto Observer Black is an IP coated (brushed finish) Suunto watch with altimeter, barometer, and compass functions. It also has a chronograph function and all the usual watch, calendar, and alarm functions.
The Suunto Observer is a watch made for outdoor adventuring. Shock and water resistant, this durable wristop computer will provide accurate barometric, altitude, and compass readings under any conditions. And thanks to the new matte black IP coating, it looks better than ever.
Suunto Observer Black ST
For a Suunto Observer with a more durable strap than the standard Black Collection - also with a brushed finish - is fitted with a more rugged elastomer strap with brushed black metal components
Suunto X6M Black
The Suunto X6M is a specially designed cross sport watch equipped with an altimeter, barometer, and compass. The Suunto X6M Black has a deep, black, polished IP coating on the case of the face, and an elastomer and metal strap similar to the Observer ST, but with polished black metal components instead of brushed.
In addition to the features offered with the Suunto Observer ST, the Suunto X6M is equipped with temperature reading capabilities, and a special PC adapter that allows you to upload data from you X6M to SuuntoSports.com and take part in the worldwide Suunto Sports community.

Great Suunto X6M All Black Watch
Reviewer: Dalke , Dublin, CA
Date: February 18, 2009
I currently own an all black Suunto X6M watch and a Suunto X6HRM and Suunto X6HRT . These are all great dependable watches that never seem to have any problems. I believe Suunto has made the X6 in several forms for about 10 years. This will tell you how bullet-proof these watches are. The all black Suunto X6M is a beautiful watch and functions great. As with all black PVD plated watches from all watch companies, you should be careful not to scratch the plating. The buttons work flawless and the black or negative display is easy to see compared to other negative display watches. All display functions appear to be very accurate. All in all, a great looking dependable watch.

all black observer
Reviewer: Pete , Philadelphia PA
Date: November 11, 2008
I have an all black suunto observer. Its a great watch. Be aware the neg displays are a little harder to see and the alarm is a bit quite. If you know this going in you'll love the watch.
The service from Suuntowatches.com is fantastic. I e-mailed several questions and had answers with an hour or two including when I asked to return it. I had a minor imperfection on the strap and they replaced the whole watch with no hassels. It was nice to see they were as responsive to answer problem questions as they were on sale type questions. They were actually faster. The replacement watch was sent out the same day fedex returned the original. I am very impressed with their service.
Thanks,
Pete
