Suunto is best known for its magnetic compasses, dive computers, heart rate monitors, and outdoor watches and electronic compasses. In 1933 the company's founder, Tuomas Vohlonen, a surveyor by profession, applied for a patent for a unique method of filling and sealing a lightweight compass housing made entirely of celluloid with liquid to dampen the needle and protect it from shock and wear due to excessive motion. Suunto Compasses continue to this day to be precise directional devices.
