 OK... So, I knew this would happen eventually... I went to Blackcreek Outfitters for some camping gear for this coming weekend... Well, I got my gear; but they had a this one for 50% off:  If your not familiar with a Suunto Core; they are more of a time telling instrument which makes them IMO very cool. Here is a list of the functions:
Well... It should at least come in handy this weekend! Thanks for looking! Bill |

Congrats!! I love it!! I contemplated getting one but retail was a tad high, at 50% though that'd have made my decision easy It looks great and you got a great deal!!  Wear it in good health! |

Bill...I like it man!!! Congrats! I have a Tissot T-Touch that I've had for like 8-9 years...has some techy features like the tactile sapphire crystal, but also the compass, and altimeter, and thermometer which is fun when in the great outdoors. What is really wild about your arrival is I've been eyeing up the Suunto Core model too (which is my favorite in their lineup from a looks and features perspective), off-and-on over the past couple weeks...at least when it passes across my stream of consciousness and I don't end up distracted by something else .Nicely done, and at 50% off too!!! Enjoy it!!! |

Hey Bill ! Big congrats on your newbie ! The Core is one of my most accurate outdoor watches. It is a great watch to all outdoor activities. Especially the Altimeter is very accurate.    |

Those are 2 good ones, Bill and Philipp. I think its got a GPS chip inside to aid in the compass and alti features. Reminds me of an iPhone's features. If I were to shoot down a quartzie now, that Suunto Core would be it. Congrats. |

Nice pick up! I'm a big fan of Suunto. I have the Quest Heart rate monitor for training and my wife and I use their Cobra3 dive computers. I think their designs are really nice and the menu and readability are among the best I have used. |

Thanks Guys for all the feedback! Sorry I am late with this, I was super busy at the end of last week. Performance update: Went camping this weekend and the storm alarm works great!! For some added info; The Core measures 48mm across, 52mm lug to lug, 14mm deep and takes a 24mm strap. The lugs swivel independent of the case; changing straps can be challenging but the swivel allows for a very comfortable fit with any strap. I currently have a Benarus Iso strap on it (sorry, no pics yet). Once again, Thanks Alot for the comments! |

I love mine, but the battery seems to need replacing every six months...not a big deal. I still wear it to work everyday: it's light, relatively low profile and only $350, so if it breaks it's not a big deal. |

Cool Suunto. Most of their lineup is pretty solid and packed with features. They've even got a couple models that have been assigned NSNs for military issue. Enjoy that bad boy |

Sorry guys for the late response...  Thank You for the kind responses!  Mike T. - I have heard the rumor about the short battery life. When I bought mine the Suunto Vendor was on hand and he gave me 2 Maxell lithium replacement batteries; He said they would last better than the over the counter varieties |
