 good watch... August 30, 2008
i got this to use instead of my pathfinder, its display and buttons were bigger, and ive heard great things about suunto, so i thought id indulge myself. im going to hold back from writing a novel, so if you own or are torn between this and a casio, go for the pathfinder, simply because its much easier to use and cheaper to own.
Elegant Functional Design! August 22, 2008
This is probably one of the most elegant multi-function watch design implementations I've ever seen - I don't need to carry the manuel! For starters, it has (almost) all the features I use in a multi-function watch - compass, barometer, altimeter, world time (but only ONE time zone...), stopwatch, and countdown timer. It also has elevation and ascent/descent logs that others may use often, but, although I do ski & hike, I would use very infrequently. It has a couple of questionable features, like a sunset/sunrise feature that many people rave about, but I figure, look at the sky - if it's getting lighter, it's sunrise. If it's getting darker, it's sunset. There's also a "storm warning" feature that, again, many people rave about, but if you look at the sky and see big black clouds...
Okay, I bought the black/yellow model because I think it looks really cool - a bit hard to read at times, but the most time I spend with the watch is in social settings & not in the backwoods, so it's okay with me.
As background, I've owned most of Casio's compass watches and a number of Suunto's earlier "wristtop computers".
The good news:
+ Tracks the atomic clock within approx. 10 seconds/month!
+ Compass accuracy within 1 degree (compared with Casio's 10 degrees!) AND, the compass calibration is really cool - just rotate the watch 360 degrees once or twice while in the compass mode (no special calibration mode needed) and it's calibrated!
+ The most intuitive setting setup system I've come across. Press the mode button and hold it and you've got a menu of modes to change. In each, the segments light up prompting you for + or - button pushes. It's consistent from mode to mode; not like others where you enter a mode and then "which button do I push and for how long?", to set the time, timer, declination, etc. This is really a BIG step forward.
+ Automatic or manual Baro/Alti setting!! This is fabulous and works really well. You can set the Alti-Baro mode to "Alti" if you're climbing and only the altitude changes or you can set it to "Baro" if you're in one place and only the barometric pressure changes. OR, you can set it to "Auto" and it then interprets rapid/large changes in pressure to be altitude changes and slow/small changes to be weather changes. It then switches modes to lock one or the other accordingly - really neat feature.
+ Strap keeper retainer - the wrist strap keeper has an internal protrusion that fits the cutouts in the band and keeps the band end from coming loose and "getting in the way" - perhaps a nit, but fantastic in reality!
+ Depth meter - It's only good for snorkeling, but that's okay; if I need a real dive watch, I'll buy one.
Now for the things I wish it had:
- Atomic timekeeping
- Solar battery charging
- Multi-zone world time (and an easy way to change as you travel to different time zones)
All in all, I HIGHLY recommend the CORE series watches!

Decent watch with some issues August 21, 2008
I just replaced my battery after 10 months owning this watch. I was going to buy a Casio Pathfinder weather watch today on Amazon but decided to replace the battery in my Suunto. The things I do not like about this watch is that the display is hard to read in dim light. The back light helps but it is not as clear as a Casio. Also, compared to the Casio Pathfinder, this watch requires multiple button pushes to switch from barometer to altitude where as the Casio is a one touch. The big difference between Suunto and Casio weather/altitude watches is size. The Casio is a big mother compared to this Sunnto Core. The Core is big but very flat and does not sit to high on your wrist where as the Casio looks like a radio on your arm. Gets caught on your shirt when you put your arm in. Also, another thing about this yellow Suunto, it looks great. Sleek and elegant. I get a lot of compliments on it. The weather alarm is very cool. Sounds when the pressure drops to a certain point and is usually right on for changing weather. I just wish I would have bought mine on Amazon. I went through Suunto and paid full price. Amazon always has the best price. If you are going to buy this watch, buy the one with the white background. It will make it easier to see. 4 star watch. Almost a 5.
