I had been debating which watch I wanted to get for my upcoming birthday and finally decided and pulled the trigger on a Suunto Black/Orange Core and extra flat black strap for the "stealth" look.

I have one other digital, a Suunto Vector, which has worked really well while at Scout camp.  When Suunto released the Core and I saw pics with the black strap it was just too much, I had to get one. 

It should be here just in time for my birthday next week smile8.gif

Cheers,
Griff

Thanks guys, pics as soon as it comes :-)
It's an altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, chrono, alarm, has weather trending graphs, storm alarms and multiple logs.  My Vector is really cool but the new Core is supposed to be more intuitive to work through menus rather than button push sequences.  I am used to most of the functions on the Vector but it took awhile to learn!  Plus the Core is rated for snorkeling and will log the changes in water depth and dive time.  I had been going back and forth between the Core and the Citizen 20th Anniversary Aqualand on which to get first.  As I will get more use from the Core functions with Scout camping season coming I figured I would go for the Suunto first and grab the Citizen maybe this summer.

I love the negative orange display, though Suunto makes a couple with the positive display which might be easier to read at times.  I am used to the negative display on my Vector.  I used the Vector at the Scout Klondike Derby, it accurately predicted the change in weather that particular day (storm front rolled in about an hour after the even started, it was snowing, perfect for a Klondike Derby!)  If the Core delivers what they say it does it will be as good as the Vector and easier to use hand6.gif

Plus, it will get its first test right away, we have a Cub Scout weekend camping trip coming up next week :D  I should get some action pics!

Cheers,
Griff

Right on Griff. That's cool and even more so that you actually will use the variety of functions at your fingertips. I am curious to see this in the flesh! And have a great B-Day buddy!!

The Suunto arrived yesterday (just in time for my birthday!), and I just spent about 10 minutes or so setting it up:



It is freakin' awesome, easier to use than my Vector, really comfortable and doesn't wear as big as I thought it would, I love it!  Tracking the barometric pressure right now since the weather is so weird :)

Cheers,
Griff
