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 useThis 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 !!!

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.

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.

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.

have had this for two months, happy with the display and functions. little disappointed that when it is in the locked position even on time and you can scroll through the menus the stop watch will not work even though it can be displayed. you have to unlock it first. also the buttons stuck on the menu and lock/light function, i'm abroad for several weeks and could not ship the watch back to the manufacturer. was quite annoyed as i need the watch to work properly. i used you tube to see other people having the same problem and how to fix it. i followed this and fixed the watch in 10 minutes. i guess any warranty will now be invalid, but at least i have a functioning watch which i need.UPDATEButtons jammed again. Cant fix. Bought another Core, after 3 months same problem. Really poor build quality. Not worth the money.6months in the all the buttons stopped working on the original model so I had no choice but to bin it. I couldn't use the warranty as I had tried to fix the problem myself. BIG MISTAKE. I bought a second Core all black as I'm happy with the functionality and display. After a month same problem with the buttons, The light button stuck down and the other buttons were begining to stick/ I returned it to Sunnto who replaced the whole unit. I can not fault the service, I m losing confidence in the watch and expect it to have button problems again ! When it does I will be looking to replace it with a Casio Protek which appear far more robust and cheaper. I have downgraded my review to 3 stars as when it is working the watch is accurate and suits what I want.

Ideal watch for trekking with alti/barometer, compass and other features. The choice for someone who wants modern tech in an old school format and doesn't want a smart watch. Battery will last approximately a year and is easy to change. Same model, albeit with some Hollywood visuals, was worn by Denzel Washington in the Equalizer. I found that out after I bought it which was just a cool added extra. Comfortable and not too bulky. Love mine!

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 2017The 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.

単純にカッコ良い、それだけ！

Orologio stupendo in ogni suo aspetto!I sensori:Bussola: una volta settata (girarla su se stessa per una 15ina di secondi) è precisissima e i tempi di refresh del dato sono rapidissimi.Altimetro: Sensore affidabile, ottimo nei calcoli dell'altitudine e il tempo di refresh è di 1sec. Ha una risoluzione di 1m, quindi la precisione è assicurata. Inoltre ha un logbook fatto veramente bene, e si riesce a vedere i metri di dislivello o di semplice altitudine alla fine di una escursione. Questo altimetro è perfetto per tutti gli amanti della montagna, ad esempio trekking, alpinismo, scii, kayak, parapendio e persino molti skydivers lo indossano.Barometro: funziona benissimo, ed ho trovato incredibilmente comodo il grafico, in quanto ti da una vaga idea delle prossime condizioni meteo, e credetemi che se il grafico cala a picco, di li a poco arriverà una tempesta! (quanta ne ho presa quella volta!). :DInoltre la funzione alti/baro è utilissima.Termometro: quest'ultimo da un po di problemi perché il calore del corpo influenza la rilevazione della temperatura, quindi darà sempre 4-5 gradi in più, poco male, basta levarselo e dopo 10min si ha la temperatura ottimale.Profondimetro: questa è una feature molto carina, infatti riesce a rilevare fino a 10m di profondità. l'ho provato ed è molto preciso!Funzione alba tramonto: ti consente, una volta impostata la città più vicina, di sapere l'orario di alba e tramonto del giorno.Il look è elegante ed è fighissimo al polso (tutti te lo guarderanno e ti invidieranno).Per il fattore luminosità c'è da spendere qualche parola in più: appena l'ho acceso per la prima volta ho detto: ma che ca**o è sta luminosità?! Mi avevano detto che era debole, ma davvero così tanto?!? Minghieee... Poi invece dopo neanche 2 giorni mi ci sono abituato e ora lo vedo BENISSIMO in ogni condizione di luce, che sia all'aperto o al chiuso una volta fatto il callo riesci a vedere i dati della schermata senza problemi. Io ho il contrasto settato su 8. C'è da dire che il tono dei numeri è abbastanza debole questo è vero, ma si fa più fatica a vederlo solo quando sei in condizioni di buio o semi buio, e in quel caso usi la retroilluminazione (colore verde acqua che da un effetto bellissimo) e con quest'ultima accesa è possibile la navigazione tra le varie schermate, feature che un Casio non ha. In oltre al buio si illumineranno i due segnetti della lunetta direzionale (effetto azzeccatissimo).Comodissimo il cinturino, forse un po troppo sottile e probabilmente con il tempo si usurerà e tenderà sicuramente a rompersi (spero piu tardi che mai).220euro spesi benissimo!

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.

Excellente montre. A eu des soucis au début de fiabilité (susceptible à courant statique) corrigé depuis. Par rapport a une vector on gagne les heures de lever et coucher de soleil, et un affichage de l'historique du baromètre sous forme de graphique. En montagne, on récupère une alarme de tempête (perte de plus de 4 Hp sur 1 ou 2 heures). Comme on peut en altitude passer de ciel dégagé à couvert et pluie forte ou de grêle en moins d'une heure, c'est utile pour se protéger à temps. Disposer de l'heure de coucher permet de faire son campement pendant qu'il fait jour, et de ne pas s'amuser a monter une tente ou un hamac dans le noir.Attention au changement de la pile : si on veut pouvoir continuer à plonger avec la montre (qui contient un profondimètre fonctionnant jusqu'à -10 M) il faut acheter le kit Suunto comprenant une pile et un joint neuf. Si vous ne plongez pas avec, pas besoin de changer le joint (disons pas à chaque changement de pile, mais après quelques changements de pile). Si vous ne changez pas le joint, il faut acheter du lubrifiant à base de silicone, en mettre sur le bout de son doigt, et l'étaler sur le joint sous la forme d'une très fine pellicule avant de replacer le joint dans la montre (regardez le canal Youtube de la marque Suunto, ils ont une vidéo qui montre comment on change une pile sur ce modèle).Il ne faut jamais toucher la pile de remplacement avec les mains, car elles sont conductrices, et feront perdre plusieurs mois de charge à la pile. Il faut donc manipuler la pile avec un gant en latex ou un bout de sopalin pour l'installer dans la montre. Quand on retire l'ancienne, on utilise un objet non metallique comme un cure dent en bois, et surtout rien qui ne soit en métal (court-circuits garantis dans la montre autrement, qui sera abîmée).Très belle, excellente évolution par rapport au module Vector. Le module Vector peut subir bien plus de dégâts et continuer à fonctionner, donc si vous prévoyez de l'escalade ou des chocs, une Vector sera plus solide. Pour de l'alpinisme au-delà de 2000 m, je prendrais la Core plutôt que la Vector. Une pile de rechange glissée dans un coin au cas où.Elle est belle, surtout en affichage noir. Je n'ai jamais eu de souci de lecture de l'affichage, et on peut régler le contraste sur ce modèle (on ne peut pas le faire sur une Vector). Sur Internet on trouve la doc pour entrer dans le menu de maintenance, qui permet de modifier le contraste au-dela des valeurs prévues par la doc au besoin.Si vous ne manipulez pas la pile de rechange avec un contact direct de la peau des doigts, et utilisez un petit cure-dent pour extraire l'ancienne, pas de souci. Il est recommandé de changer la pile pour une neuve avant de partir en expédition plutôt que d'avoir à jouer des doigts engourdis en altitude si la pile vient à faiblir.Une très bonne évolution par rapport à la Vector, mais un peu plus fragile vis à vis des chocs. L'écran d'une Vector est en plastique rayable, il encaisse plus, par contre une Vector aura après 5 ou 10 ans l'écran bien rayé bien que fonctionnelle. La Core dispose d'un écran minéral qui ne se raye pas facilement : même des chocs directs dessus ne laissent aucune rayure. Mais d'expérience, je ne lui ferais pas subir les mauvais traitements que j'ai pu faire subir à mes Vector (me jetter au sol, la montre percutant le sol avec moi ou bien escalader à main nues arbres et parfois, la montre frottant un peu partout rayant plastique et écran de la Vector).Bracelet confortable, qui a été amélioré il y a peu de temps au niveau de la petite pièce qui tient la languette : elle était trop dure à retirer ou déplacer, et ils ont corrigé en rabotant de moitié le renfoncement qui frotte sur la languette du strap.On trouve sur Amazon ou Ebay très facilement des écrans de protection qui se collent sur l'écran si vous craignez pour ce dernier des rayures. Mais vous n'aurez ce souci qu'avec la Vector. Pour ma part, je pense qu'il faut posséder une Vector et Core. La Vector en version HR (Heart Rate) pour surveiller son niveau cardiaque et le travailler entre 70 et 90 % de son niveau maxi pour augmenter sa capacité cardiaque, et une Core qu'on attache sur son sac en fonction altimètre, réglée depuis un point d'altitude connu, alarme de tempête activée et dont on utilise cette fonction, l'altimètre et les heures de lever/coucher en randonnée en montagne. La Core est particulièrement à l'aise en montagne.

Acaba Hollywood mağduru olur muyum diye saatin elime geçmesini sabırsızlıkla bekledim. Saati teslim aldığımda mağdur olmadığımı farkettim. Kesinlikle güzel bir saat tavsiye ederim kaba durur mu diye bir tereddütünüz varsa kaba da olmadığını belirtmek isterim. Ufak bir sıkıntı gümrük ile ilgili sıkıntılar yüzünden ürün daha geç ulaştı elime buna rağmen 5 yıldız veriyorum.
