I love the Suunto Watch. It’s big and packed with every feature that you could ever need in a watch. It is surprisingly lightweight and the crystal is protected by the rotating bezel. You will never be lost once you have this watch on your wrist. You WILL NOT be disappointed with this watch. Read the manual and you will find that the readings are approximate. I was skeptical about getting the Suunto Core (Light Green) but I’m happy to say that the watch I ordered has easily exceeded my expectations. Here are my other notes:
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 altimeter and barometer are separate functions; they’re lumped together and you need to access the menu to choose. I’m loving the sunrise / sunset function that gives you the exact times based on where you live.
3. Very nice when the sun starts to set and you lose visibility of your terrain and have no landmarks to rely on. The strap is very comfortable and secure, worlds better than the lug-style band that comes with other Cores.
4. One draw for the Core series for me was the fact that it actually had a depth meter–albeit a rather weak version of one. Otherwise, they all worked flawlessly.
5. I used to be a sport diver, but the last couple of decades have proven to take that particular hobby and put it on the back burner. I have other watches that can take much more depth than I can handle, so this isn’t much of a major deal for me, but it IS a nice addition.
6. When hiking any place that allows me any degree of altitude difference, I can ALWAYS count on ANY of my Suunto’s to bring me correct data at the end of my trek.
This watch is fantastic. It’s cool to see the altitude and the weather trend indication. It’s automatic. If you are changing altitude, you’ll see the altitude. If you’re in the same altitude, the watch will show you a weather trend indicator. This can help you to know whether it’ll rain or be sunny. And the design is perfect! So far the most accurate field watch in the market. Highly recommended.
