Suunto Core - Improving on perfection If there is one thing we can never accuse Suunto of doing, it is resting on their laurels. As the inventor of ABC (altimeter, barometer, compass) watches and designer of the recognized leader, the Vector, Suunto could easily have sat back and enjoyed a well deserved rest. Instead they devoted years of technological development, field research, user input and design analysis to create a spectacular outdoor tool. The Core series pushes the limits of performance and does it in a style you can be comfortable with on a rock face, in a ski-lodge or enjoying a night on the town.
Incredibly feature laden, the core builds on the Vector's integrated altiimeter, barometer and compass platform with enhanced features found nowhere else. The altimeter/barometer feature has been upgraded to provide you the information you need the most. As you climb the Core will stay in altimeter mode. If your vertical ascent comes to a halt the Core will automatically switch and show barometric pressure to help you decide if storm preparations are required. The barometer will also notify you of danger with a storm-warning alarm, weather trend indicator and weather graph. Additional upgrades include the addition of a Sunrise/Sunset calendar programmable for over 400 locations worldwide, a dual time feature and countdown timer.
Not enough? How about a depth meter for snorkeling? The Core will track your depth down to 30ft and is water resistant down to 100ft/30m. It is programmed for 4 languages, has a serviceable altimeter range of -1,600ft up to 29,500ft and the compass has bearing track/lock as well as declination adjustment.
Fortunately, Suunto was able to pack all of these features in the most handsome package conceivable. The sleek appearance and stylish design looks great right out of the box but also allows you to customize your Core with a selection of replacement straps.
All of the Core watches come with the same functionality. The difference in cost coincides with a difference in case appearance and strap selection.
Where's the military version?? This has become a common question from our customers. Suunto has not released a formal military version of the Core series. If dark and stealthy is what you are after go for the Core Black and orange. Buy a flat black replacement strap and switch it out. Be sure to utilize the black screws from the orange band to keep the shine and sparkle away. If you don't have the tools to make the switch (small screwdriver set) let us know. We can make the switch for you!
