Product Information
The Suunto SK-8 Strap Mount NH is a liquid-filled dive compass built for wrist-mounted underwater navigation, with a phosphorescent compass card, a large side-reading window and measurements of 65.5 x 65.5 x 43.7 mm. The "NH" designation marks it as the northern hemisphere version of Suunto's SK-8 compass line.
Who it is for
This compass suits divers who want a dedicated, strap-worn navigation tool rather than a compass built into a console or dive computer. Suunto notes that both the northern and southern hemisphere SK-8 models use an upgraded magnet, letting each version work over a wider area of the globe.
Key details
- Measures 65.5 x 65.5 x 43.7 mm (2.58 x 2.58 x 1.72 in).
- Phosphorescent compass card for readability in low light.
- Large side-reading window for checking heading from the side of the housing.
- Firm-grip bezel with a ratchet click at every fifth degree for setting a heading.
- High tilt compensation so the card keeps reading as the wrist moves.
- Made in Finland.
Compatibility and sizing
This listing is the Strap Mount version, worn on the wrist with the included strap. Suunto also publishes the SK-8 compass in Strap Mount SH, Console Mount Front SH, Capsule NH, Capsule SH and Black Strap Mount NH configurations, so divers who prefer a console-mounted or southern hemisphere compass can look to those variants within the same SK-8 family.
