07 Mar 10 Suunto Watch
The Suunto Watch is truly a precision outdoor instrument. Suunto has been making outdoor instruments for over 20 years. The quality design and features really work when it counts. The compass / altimeter / barometer are very accurate. The storm alarm feature warns you approaching storm so you are never caught out in unexpected bad weather. This feature alone could save your life! Suunto balances design and function. Great Watch! Here are my other observations:

1. The Core is an improvement over the Vector in almost every way. The size of the watch face is nearly identical, but the body is significantly thinner and lightweight. The black numbers on the white lcd background is the way to go.
2. The storm warning alarm is also a God-send, something I rely on when I’m out on my kayak far from camp.
3. Besides cosmetic differences with the bezel, band and color, they are all functionally the same watch. While many people believe since the Light Green is the cheapest it must be the base model. There is no difference aside from appearance between the Cores.
4. As a collector of watches, several of which have been Suunto models, I was drawn to the style of the Core model watches, and the yellow in particular.
5. After the initial set-up, my Core has worked great (as I expected it to) and I have been profoundly impressed with it ever since. On my previous models (Observer, X-Lander, X6HR, Vector) setting the compass was rather simple and easy.
6. One of the primary reasons I have any Suunto is for the accurate altimeter. I have owned 4 different watches that have this feature, and NONE of them are the equal to ANY of my Suunto watches when it came to accuracy.
The vast majority of Suunto consumers have great experiences, so keep at it and Suunto will win you over eventually I am confident. I am very pleased with it. The features on the watch work as advertised and are very accurate. It’s a cool watch – easy to read – even with the cool back light. Would I buy the watch again: yes! I bought this watch primarily for back-country skiing. The watch is easy to use and I like features like being able to see the time, altitude and amount climbed all at the same time.
