SUUNTO CORE CRUSH MULTIFUNCTION WATCH REVIEW
The watch has cool features. I think this is the most accurate way to see what the Core can do. I use the Suunto all the time hiking and day to day. While the screen still displays time, all but one of the selection and menu buttons have failed, meaning you can’t turn on backlight, can’t access the menu, can’t change between modes. It was fine from the factory but why leave well enough alone. It either works or it doesn’t
This watch is a rip off, Suunto has sent me three in a year and all have proven within a few months. Even the customer service is horrible. Tonight I took the Core out in the woods bowhunting. It might be useful to be able to do an initial compass calibration without removing the batteries, however if done properly the first time I guess this should not be required. It keeps the watch perfectly level and is easy to turn slowly. So much for a 14 day turnaround. The few complaints I have consist of battery life and the waterproof rating.
The Core basically calculates your long-term trends to give you a more accurate reading.

I love love the compass feature, I would never use it as a primary navigation tool but as a back up or if you have ever been in the situation where you doubt your bearing night navigating the quick reference and bearing lock are nice.
For Easy to use Year-long battery Waterproof One-touch function lock. That alone I could probably forgive but I’m onto my second watch in under two years now and it’s just failed out the exact same way the first one did. Can’t imagine what would happen if I were to use the compass, altimeter, storm alarm or other features. Whereas the Vector you just hold down a single button in altitude mode to adjust the altitude.

My biggest complaint is that the buttons get pushed by accident when I’m wearing it. Within a day the sound went out on it. It is the version.

Jasper04 16 reviewer rep. I then took the Core down one flight of stairs in my house. You do have to calibrate it on occasion but that is easy to do. While the screen still displays time, all but one of the selection and menu buttons have failed, meaning you can’t turn on backlight, can’t access the menu, can’t change between modes.

I also started a Altitude Log. However, after one to two months, its functionality, or lack thereof, became a hindrance. If you’re looking for an ABC watch and you’re tired of Casios, this is what to get.
Besides having less alarms, what we thought was the bigger deal was the Suunto alarms weren’t very loud and we had to put the watch close to our head to make sure they woke us up.
Something we didn’t like compared to the Vector was that you had to go through three or four menu pages to adjust the altitude. They ARE nice, but I wouldn’t get one online or by multifuntcion order It measures elevation in three-foot or one-meter intervals compared with the Pathfinder 20 feet or 5 meters and the Vector’s 10 feet or 3 meters.

Eventually, three to four months the watch was totally dysfunctional, without chime, light, or button operation. I bumped up the contrast from the factory setting of 6 to 7 or 8. However, the compass in THAT watch didn’t work, at all. It keeps logs of my hikes, the rate of the ascent the rate of descent, peak altitude, it’s really cool to see how high you’ve gone and how quickly.

At this point I am more than a little impressed. You can access this by selecting your location or the nearest one out of options compared with the Pathfinder’s Purchased this watch brand new on e-bay and about 4 months into it the button mulgifunction control the stop watch stopped working. I like the Core, But I didn’t read enough about it before I took delivery of mine.

I thought maybe it was a fluke so I purchased 4 cr batt that it requires to operate and Clre have gone thru all 4 batteries and its now March Initially it worked great, we would be out on missions and it never missed a beat March 27, updated Apr 24, I have a I guess that other than not working the watch is functioning fine in Suunto land.
I finally bought a leather wristband.
The only bummer is it took several menu pages to pull it up, but we did get the hang out if and could pull it up pretty quickly with time. The Pathfinder models can only hold up to 40 logs.
