Suunto Core Outdoor Sport Watch with Altimeter, Barometer and Compass

Superb watch, really comfortable and easy to set up. Good features, for example...compass, altimeter, and a good alarm. Excellent value for money. Recommended.

I have dress watches and I always wanted an adventurers watch for day to day use This is the best watch in my collection for sure being a perfect product from the get go and it’s so nice in every other way - I just want to keep wearing it every day it looks so nice and all of its functions are very useful especially today on the screen popped up storm alert and an arrow showing me the direction of the storm coming from North West - it has lots of comprehensive functions so you can be fully informed of all environmental conditions and their changes within seconds - A 10/10 product with ease and a great price and a swift delivery - beat that !!!

Got this for my partner and he wears it every single day. Been wearing it for a couple years now and it’s absolutely indestructible! Amazing quality, looks fabulous, is comfortable and amazing price too.

Initial impression is a well-built product that should last. As per other reviews, screen may appear dim when unlit indoors, but not a problem outdoors. Compass hit-and-miss. Has been helpful when out hiking. Sometimes more accurate than an old-style compass, but a couple of times has been wildly out. Needs to be held exactly level when reading, which is hard to do / estimate when worn on wrist. Can be sensitive to electromagnetic interference / metal structures. Needs to be recalibrated often using alternative method not mentioned in any of the manuals (google 'Suunto Core Sleep Mode' for more info). Altimeter is barometric and therefore needs to be regularly updated, as opposed to a GPS one. In the aviation industry, altimeter pressure settings (QNH) are updated multiple times a day for accurate readings, as should this one be. Advise downloading Aeroweather app or Windy and looking at the nearest airport's QNH for most accurate value, then enter via the alti-baro>reference>sea level menu. Can also be updated using a known elevation as well. Thermometer is totally useless. Your guess will be far closer to reality. I've just been out walking in subzero temperatures, snow and thick ice all around, and the Suunto Core was telling me it was +19ºC, see photo. Suspect it's reading my skin rather than the ambient temp. Overall, a slight disappointment, mainly in terms of the compass reliability, especially given that it is from a company that specialises in compasses, and a Finnish company at that. Not sure if I'd be confident navigating purely using this. Not sure whether to keep it, as it looks nice, but not sure if I can trust it. Design needs improving, please.

Excellent versatile, and simple device. Very good for anyone who like sports and the outdoors.

This watch had very poor design quality compared to G-Shock watches I am used to. The screen was unreadable so I ended up returning this watch altogether. I have seen it used by quite a few people though so maybe it's just my perception of the screen but the user logic for the interface is also very poor in my view and doesn't display what I really want to see. I used to own Suunto so was having big hopes for that watch.

I have been looking at purchasing one of these for a while now and have in the past made do with my trusty G-Shock. I finally took the plunge after researching the product on numerous wed sites and reviews from friends and colleagues. Now I have got it I won't go back. I am currently serving in Afghanistan and I have found it a necessary bit of kit to have with me before going out on the ground. I have seen plenty of reviews questioning the display and I can say that even in the bright sunlight I have had no problems reading the time, the display is big and clear and can be read at a glance. The compass has come in handy on a number of occasions although I do double and triple check this using a GPS and standard compass but it has never given me a false reading. The sunset / rise alarm has been useful when out on the ground and lets me know when to either stop or get going. The altimeter application hasn't really had much use but the couple of times I have been up in the mountains it has given a similar reading to the GPS so the figures are accurate. The thermometer doesn't really get used apart from to tell me that it is ridiculously hot during the day and cold at night something I am all to aware of already. The watch is comfortable to wear and doest rub on the skin and is easily cleaned. All round a great watch with many uses on the job and I am sure I will have use for it when I return to the UK. I would recommend this watch to both military and civilian personal.

Having been the owner of very few watches over the years due to rock solid performance, I decided to push the boat out and see what advancements digital watches had made - I have always had analogue in the past. What a minefield. So many to chose from from the cheap and cheerful to the downright expensive - to me a watch, is a watch, is a watch. Update 2017 The watch has performed flawlessly over the years and I wouldn't be without it. However, I now find myself having to replace my strap for a forth time. Whilst I am happy to replace the battery, a very easy job, having to replace the strap every 16 months or so is beyond being acceptable. I don't wear the watch tightly and although I wear it 24/7, I regularly clean the strap using plain water. Every time the strap has broken in exactly the same spot each time and at £27 or so a pop, it makes for a very expensive replacement. I suspect that there must be a material fault. I have contacted the manufacturer on one occasion and, to be fair, they did send me a replacement ... about 15 months ago ... and now that's failed too. I seem to think that I have now replaced more straps than I have batteries or at least an equal number. I was initially drawn to the Casio ProTrek ABC range of watches and actually purchased one. It lasted just a few short weeks before I returned it due the wristband constantly coming apart on me. What next? Being ex military, it wasn't long before the name Suunto Core All Black Military caught my eye. As a wildlife photographer, I really fancied a watch that could provide me with reliable (if not entirely accurate) local weather information and, for the Golden Hour, (fellow photographers will understand this) information at my finger tips on sunrise and sunset times. Not setting my expectations too high, I decided to plumb for the Suunto Core(Suunto who?). After all if I don't like it I can always get a refund. Well, having used this watch for some weeks now, you would need to take a crowbar to get it off my wrist! For me this watch is a marvel of design and functionality. On one level it's almost understated, on another, a wonderful fusion of data technology manipulation and well thought out user interactiveness. It does everything that the PR blurb says and then some more. Comfortable to wear, easy to use, simple to navigate menus and a delight to look at. The display brightness can be a bit tricky to see at times but you soon get use to this. From what I can tell so far, the ABC instrumentation and feedback is pretty much spot on. The storm alarm, which I has assumed would be something of a gimmick, actually works - really well. There is even an alarm (complete with snooze) that you can actually hear above normal ambient noise levels. If I were to use just one word to describe this watch it would be "incredible". This statement has to be tempered with the fact that I have only owned a handful of watches over the years and so have very little to compare this with. But one thing for sure, I wish that I had owned a watch like this for always.

Typical Suunto, if there is such thing. This is my second Suunto and so no surprises on my part. Well built, quite rugged and all around easy to wear. This is a larger watch but not ridiculously large. I like larger watches so that does not bother me. Easy to read even at dusk. Backlight is a bit dicky (can't quite explain best look it up on YouTube). That's definitely not something I like or appreciate about this watch. Still, it is a fairly easy watch to read even in low light conditions so I can see past that. Certainly not regretting adding it to my collection of watches.

Muito bom.

Lo que más confusión me ha generado es la información que Amazon da de este reloj en la página de su venta. Al final no sabes lo que estás comprando y esto como experiencia de comprador no es muy buena. Dice la página de venta de Amazon que la carcasa es de acero inoxidable y el cristal de zafiro, cuando es carcasa material compuesto (algún tipo de plástico resistente supongo o no sé) el bisel de aluminio, y cristal mineral, pero no de zafiro. Lo podéis comprobar en la web de Suunto. También hay una tabla de comparación de relojes donde dice que el Suunto Core All Black tiene Altímetro GPS y tecnología FusedAlti que combina datos de GPS y presión atmosférica para calcular altitud, lo cual tambien confunde bastante, porque tiene altímetro barométrico unicamente, y en realidad no esta así mal porque sin GPS (que yo no lo quiero en un reloj) la pila dura mucho más y permite su reemplazo facilmente por el usuario, pero otra vez la información confunde mucho. Tambien dice en la tabla de comparaciones que la batería dura 20 horas, cuando no es así. La web mezcla información errónea con información certera y al final si el usuario no conoce este reloj o no busca en la web del fabricante, no puede saber que está comprando. Por favor Amazon, cuidar estos detalles para mejorar experiencia de compra. Por lo demás, es un buen reloj y la pantalla en mi opinión se ve bastante bien (que hay mucha polemica sobre esto en foros opiniones). No quiero GPS en un reloj, ni que esté conectado a todo y me e la brasa con menajes e historias varias, para eso ya tengo bastante con el teléfono móvil. Que tenga brújula, profundimetro (hasta 10 m), alarmas, cronómetro, termómetro, altímetro barométrico, barómentro anaeroide, y sea resistente fisicamente y resistente al agua, permita su cambio de pila facilmente y me de la hora, me basta y me sobra para un reloj. Me quedo un poco con las ganas de que tuviera cristal de zafiro que es más duro que el mineral por haber leido esl en la info de Amazon, pero ya he comprendido que son datos erróneos. De momento soy anti smart watch, modas... La gente tiene que vivir y vender cosas en sus empresas... Cuando sus baterías duren un año a lo mejor me lo planteo. Saludos

Den sitter klockrent på armen lätt samt gillar dessa funktioner . Modernt på ett nästan vintage back till vanligt batteri som byts själv. Får se efter en tids användning.

As described in the AD. Genuine product from Suunto.
