Adamek acquisition proposal Dec. 2012) the theme of consumer culture as an area of focus - therefore, collecting consumer culture new technology devices to which this GPS watch belongs to. This watch was collected for its technical innovation, research collection, and because it is representative of type. This GPS watch would appeal to people involved in sports, adventure, travel, and the outdoors. In several magazines, (Outside, Outdoors, Backpacker) the Suunto Ambit consistently ranked as “must have gear” for the outdoor enthusiast.
