Suunto Core Alu

I was hoping to love this, but a few things bother me. The good: comfortable to wear, accurate instruments for a watch, sleek look, intuitive menus (subjective) The bad: battery life, prone to scratches/damage if used for its' intended outdoor purpose, fairly dim display even when backlit. At added ...

I vacillated between the Suunto Vector and the Suunto Core. I was a bit worried about the quality problems the Core's reviews warned about. But I know as Winston Churchill so beautifully stated "Bad news travels half way around the world before good news puts on its pants", I figure the negative rev...

Overall this is a nice watch. It has great features, looks good, and is comfortable. But it also has some issues. The altimeter seems to have trouble with low altitudes. I haven't tried it snorkeling yet to see if it will go below see level or at high altitude. The compass works great and the displa...

The watch looks and feels great. Unfortunately the contrast function even at 15 is barely readable and after speaking with Suunto it is what it is. Cant even return it without loosing my Amazon money. Good looking watch though its just too bad they haven't fixed this issue that most buyers have prob...

The 3/4-star reviews shouldn't dissuade you from purchasing this watch. Overall, it's a fantastic ABC watch: for backpackers, photographers, and international-traveler types. Many reviewer's expectations are misplaced for a watch – the ABC tools are for reference and intended to aid you in making go...

I am a huge fan of Suunto products and have always had a couple of their watches dating back to my first Vector. This is the first time I have ever taken the time to review a product on Amazon and only doing so because I and such a huge fan of Suunto and don't want others to be as disappointed as I ...

Watch said Aluminum and was $100 more than the plain black. Not a hole lot of details on the band, but it sounded like the band would be aluminum as well. Nope, it was rubber. I have large wrists and i was on 4 notches from the last making the band loops useless. So the band was small. The watch cas...

I like Suunto watches, but they are not for everyone. Some people just don't like the size face, but I like it because I can read it with or without my glasses. This says "Pure White", but the ONLY thing in it that is actually white is the watch band. I did not like the watchband since it seems to b...

I bought this Core ALU Deep Black as a "day to day" watch to complement my Elementum Terra. This watch, in a number of key ways, is more useful to me day-to-day than my Terra, including: * Countdown timer (rather than just a stopwatch) - which can be used simultaneously with the stopwatch. * Sunrise...

I'm stationed in Afg and had previously ordered a watch from Amazon but it was lost, so I was a bit nervous about ordering another one. The shipping company was Pier 18 and they were late in shipping it out and 3 days after the shipping date cited by Amazon I had to send a reminder email to them, bu...
