Rip Curl Search GPS 2 vs Suunto Core Alu

Verdict

The Rip Curl Search GPS 2 is a watch that collects surf data and can be used to track waves. However, it is only compatible with Apple devices and there is no Android app available. Additionally, the watch has been reported to have difficulty uploading data to the cloud and some users have experienced water leakage issues.

Verdict

The Suunto Core Alu is a great watch for backpackers, photographers, and international-traveler types. It has an intuitive menu system, is comfortable to wear, and has accurate instruments. However, it is prone to scratches and damage if used outdoors, has a dim display even when backlit, and the battery life could be better.
