If you put it to sleep to turn off weather warnings, what is the point?

Andy, I've replaced the battery in mine before every trip. Zero problems, zero condensation. The trick is to replace the battery in a very dry environment. Send me your Suunto and I'll fix it for you. RH here on a mild day is 25%, and it only gets lower than that.

I too have repeatedly replaced my battery in my suunto without difficulty or ensuing condensation. I think the problems occur when folk do it themselves without realising the small rubber seal is there.
As regards the storm alert, it can be switched off without turning the other functions off.

Thanks, I'm aware of that, but at 3am in the morning I can never remember how and don't fancy having to look it up in the manual! It's good to know there's a much simpler solution of just switching the thing off.

I need CR2032 batteries for several items at home and buy them on line 12 for £2.86 post paid. As supermarkets seem to charge about £2.00 each I think I get quite a good deal.
