Overview Of The Well known Suunto Core Time Piece!

By Liroy Levice

The display is in reverse format, this means the background is in black, and the alpha numeric characters are in silver and white. Adjusting the contrast in the Suunto Core hidden menu will help, however, still not as clear as the typical black letter on white-colored background. No fault of Suunto, but just just how the design is.

The buttons are responsive and effortless to press. To navigate through the menus, the "Mode" button and also the "View" button need to be pressed in several combination to get what you want. It may seem difficult at first, but when you understand the rational structure, it's relatively easy to remember. Give yourself a week to get used to it.

Compliments: Very accurate ABC. I compare their readings using the actual ABC instruments. The precision is amazing and surpasses the Casio Pathfinder in the dust! The storm alerts responds to the air pressure change properly as well. The digital compass rocks !. After you set the course, the bearing indicator would display an arrow and directional words (right and left), to guide you to the accurate course, which is a great feature. User installable batteries which is fantastic to save a lot of money as time goes on.

Issues: The directional rotation ring is difficult to move. If you have finger nails, you'll want to use them, if you chew your finger nails, best of luck. The alarm is a bit soft and difficult to notice sometimes. The same problem as the Pathfinder. I wish they can make it louder. The wrist strap looks low-cost. The illuminator is a bit poor as well.

Suggestions: This watch has earned plenty of bad reps due to bad quality control in its supplier plant in China. It has been a great deal of issues and reported problem. After doing some research, it seems that Suunto has finally repaired the hardware and software bugs. When you buy this watch, ensure the serial number starts from "918xxxxxx" onward. My own is "944" and so far it's great. You should email the seller, to make sure they send you the latest version as mentioned above, in that case your new watch will not spend most of its lifetime going back and forth in the shipping and delivery trucks.
