Suunto UK 5 Year Warranty May 19, 2015 by lukesheppard

Suunto have introduced a new extended warranty for all customers buying Suunto equipment from authorised UK Suunto dealers. Suunto computers come with a two (2) year manufacturers warranty and wireless transmitters have a one (1) year warranty that covers the usual functioning of the item.  Now Suunto are offering a FREE Five (5) Year Warranty when you buy a computer or transmitter from an Authorised UK Dealer like Simply Scuba.

Simple

The process is really easy and only takes about ten minutes, just fill out your details and register each of your Suunto products with their part numbers to activate your extended 5 year warranty.  The main reason for this is to add value to your new product and to help reduce grey imports from abroad.

While it may appear cheaper to buy a dive computer from abroad you will not receive the benefits of buying from a UK Dive Centre. If you buy a grey import from abroad the warranty for that computer only applies to the country you bought it in so if something goes wrong it’s going to cost you to get it back and forth to be fixed

FINISHED

When you’re done, sit back and relax and use your new Suunto Dive Computer with the knowledge that in the unlikely event that anything should go wrong, your dive computer will be repaired or replaced for free when you take it to a UK Suunto Service Centre.  There is of course the usual small print but as long as you look after your dive computer as a prudent diver should
