Review Of The Notorious Suunto Core Time Piece!
The display is in reverse format, which means the background is in black, and the alpha numeric characters are in silver and white. Changing the contrast in the Suunto Core concealed menu will help, but of course, still not as clear as the normal black letter on white background. No negligence of Suunto, but simply just how the style is.
The buttons are receptive and effortless to press. To get around through the menus, the “Mode” button and the “View” button need to be pressed in various combination to get what you need. It may appear complicated in the beginning, but as soon as you understand the rational structure, it’s fairly easy to remember. Give yourself a few days to get used to it.
Compliments: Incredibly accurate ABC. I compare their readings with the actual ABC instruments. The accuracy is incredible and is better than the Casio Pathfinder in the dirt! The storm alarms reacts to the air pressure change effectively also. The digital compass rocks !. When you set the course, the bearing indicator would display an arrow and directional text (right and left), to guide you to the accurate course, which is a great feature. User installable batteries which is excellent to save a lot of cash in the future.
Issues: The directional rotation ring is hard to turn. If you have finger nails, you should use them, if you nip your finger nails, best of luck. The alarm is soft and difficult to hear sometimes. Exactly the same problem as the Pathfinder. I wish they can make it more louder. The wrist strap looks cheap. The illuminator is a bit poor also.
Ideas: This watch has gained plenty of bad reps because of bad quality control in its supplier factory in China. It has been a lot of issues and reported problem. After doing some research, it appears that Suunto has finally fixed the hardware and software bugs. Whenever you purchase the watch, make sure the serial number starts from “918xxxxxx” onward. Mine is “944″ and so far it’s great. You need to e-mail the vendor, to make sure they give you the new version as mentioned above, then your new watch will not spend most of its life going back and forth in the delivery trucks.
