I finally moved today to a Suunto Race watch from the old Baro 9 which I had used for 7,5 years. What are you duration experience with Suunto watches? I think I might have used the old watch for still some time, but not too long, due to fast battery depletion, HR sensor deterioriation, and lower GPS quality. Not criticising, it's an excellent watch and I will keep it just in case. I wonder for how long other users have been with one Suunto watch. I mean active use, like daily wristwatch plus at least 4-5 sports activities weekly.

Out of the respect for the great man's admiration of Jane Austin, I have just started another of her novels which is Persuasion. So, when they start talking about navy officers retired after the war, one 'admiral' is said to be just about 40 ( he looks much older to them). I wonder if this could be true though Jane Austen must have known about these things. I always thought it must have happened much later, even if it was a 'only' rear admiral.
