Description of Suunto Core Altimeter Watch: |
|
The Suunto Core Altimeter Watch keeps an eye on approaching storms with an innovative motion-sensing barometric altimeter—and looks good doing it. The Core is Suunto's latest companion for the outdoor athlete seeking thin alpine air, with a slimmer profile than you'd expect from a wristtop computer. Along with the Storm Alarm, which switches from pressure-sensitive altimeter to barometer depending on your body movement, the Core advises you directionally with a digital compass, gives accurate temperature readings from -20 to 140 degrees, and measures underwater depth to 30 feet. The Core even provides all this information in English, French, Spanish, and German. Suunto managed to pack all of those features, plus regular timekeeping, chronograph, alarm functions and more into a variety of cases that, while technical in appearance, won't look out of place when you head downtown for the evening.
Bottom Line: The Suunto Core brings extreme alpine technology to the dinner table with aplomb.

| Received my core light black around the first of November. Within a day the sound went out on it, after a call to Suunto USA, they confirmed it to be a bug in the firmware and stated that I needed to remove, wait, and then replace the battery each time this happened to get the sound back. A couple of days later I found that the reference altitude could not be set correctly, after another call to Suunto this was also blamed on the firmware version and I was ask to send the watch back to SuuntoUSA for replacement.
That was over a month ago and Suunto now states that I will not get my warranty replacement until after they have filled all their new Holiday orders. (Next year some time...) That is a crock. Do yourself a favor, buy another watch, or if you must have the Suunto, wait until they work the bugs out. |

| The negative display on this watch can be difficult to read, but the deal-breaker for me was the battery life. In my experience, battery life is about 1 month with normal usage. The altimeter and barmoeter are excellent, but I decided to return the watch due to the battery issue. Also, in general, the quality of the Core reflects it being made in China. If I had to purchase one Suunto watch, it would be the X-lander military edition, which is still made in Finland. |

| Excellent Suunto Core Watch 02-18-08 |
GD (5):  |
| I currently own a Suunto Core Light Black model and love this watch. I have also owned Highgear, Casio, and Timex watches and consider Suuntos, in general and the new Core, the most accurate. The positive display of the Light Black Core is by far the easiest to read of all my digital watches. The barometer reading is consistantly dead on when I compare it to CNN weather readings on the web. The "auto" function for barometer and altitude is a great feature that works perfectly and the sunrise/sunset feature is a first for Suunto and is also accurate. The mineral glass face on the Core is also much more durable than the plastic faces on other Suunto models. I did experience a battery problem like many Core owners but I replaced the original battery with a new Duracell 2032 and the Core works fine. Battery replacement was easy and fast. Watchbands are easily replaceable and all are interchangable too. The watch is very intuitive to set up and it is not necessary to refer to the manual after you use the watch for awhile. The technology of the Core is far better than previous Suuntos. All in all, a great watch and the positives of the Core far out weigh and few issues. Customer service at this site has also been great for me with respect to orders, returns, questions, or concerns. |
