Am toying with incurring the wrath of Mrs Exile and buying a Suunto Core, I'm particularly interested in the altimeter and compass functions. Does anyone have any experience(s) with this device? I'd love to hear them if so. Cheers

I've got one that must be about 5 or 6 years old now that no longer gets used. Neither altimeter/barometer, compass or thermometer were particularly accurate and one of the buttons has given up the ghost so I can't do a forced reset on it. Looks nice if you're into understated black but I wouldn't buy another one.

Oh, and they want €33 to even look at it.

I've ... Got a core black. Not worn it since I got my Fenix 3. It was ok, altimeter worked reasonably as long as it was calibrated. You're welcome to borrow |

That's kind of you, but no need. I was speaking to another mate yesterday who said much the same thing and I decided to go for it, I managed a price-match with Go Outdoors who knocked another 15% off, meaning I got it for 143.99. I did consider a Fenix 3, but in the end discounted it. I've got enough GPS devices if I'm honest and although the Fenix is a terrific thing to have, the Suunto should provide the functions I'm really looking for. |
