I have owned two or three Suuntos and currently have a Casio Pathfinder.
The thermometer is useless on all of them if you leave the watch on your wrist -- your body heat throws it off -- which seems a bit pointless to me. To get an accurate reading, you need to hang it in your tent for 15 minutes. The compass on the two seems about equal to me.
I like the looks of the Suuntos, but the functionality of the Casio better. As others have said, Casio makes a better watch. Suunto makes a better instrument.
