Great customer service from Suunto.Excellent ABC watch. All the functions you need. Not overly complicated to use and set up. The price is not hard on the pocket. Highly recommend for EDC and military.

Good watch. Just be aware watchface is not as bright as a smartwatch or similar Casio type watch. I would imagine watch illumination was designed with military or hunting considerations.

Very cool watch.Brought this as a Christmas present for my brother and he loves it.He saw it in the the Denzel Equalizer films and liked the look of it. This is identical to the one Denzel wears. However, the stopwatch display does differ to the one in the films, not as big.It's comfy and not too heavy, and so far seems durable enough.It's a well made timepiece and keeps time accurately, has loads of functions to boot for the adventurous types out there or for people that like gadgets such as altimeter, barometer, thermometer and compass.It's good value for money for a watch of this kind.

Initial impression is a well-built product that should last.As per other reviews, screen may appear dim when unlit indoors, but not a problem outdoors.Compass hit-and-miss. Has been helpful when out hiking. Sometimes more accurate than an old-style compass, but a couple of times has been wildly out. Needs to be held exactly level when reading, which is hard to do / estimate when worn on wrist. Can be sensitive to electromagnetic interference / metal structures. Needs to be recalibrated often using alternative method not mentioned in any of the manuals (google 'Suunto Core Sleep Mode' for more info).Altimeter is barometric and therefore needs to be regularly updated, as opposed to a GPS one. In the aviation industry, altimeter pressure settings (QNH) are updated multiple times a day for accurate readings, as should this one be. Advise downloading Aeroweather app or Windy and looking at the nearest airport's QNH for most accurate value, then enter via the alti-baro>reference>sea level menu. Can also be updated using a known elevation as well.Thermometer is totally useless. Your guess will be far closer to reality. I've just been out walking in subzero temperatures, snow and thick ice all around, and the Suunto Core was telling me it was +19ºC, see photo. Suspect it's reading my skin rather than the ambient temp.Overall, a slight disappointment, mainly in terms of the compass reliability, especially given that it is from a company that specialises in compasses, and a Finnish company at that. Not sure if I'd be confident navigating purely using this. Not sure whether to keep it, as it looks nice, but not sure if I can trust it. Design needs improving, please.

Lots of genuine useful features. Rugged with enough strap to wear outside gloves.

have had this for two months, happy with the display and functions. little disappointed that when it is in the locked position even on time and you can scroll through the menus the stop watch will not work even though it can be displayed. you have to unlock it first. also the buttons stuck on the menu and lock/light function, i'm abroad for several weeks and could not ship the watch back to the manufacturer. was quite annoyed as i need the watch to work properly. i used you tube to see other people having the same problem and how to fix it. i followed this and fixed the watch in 10 minutes. i guess any warranty will now be invalid, but at least i have a functioning watch which i need.UPDATEButtons jammed again. Cant fix. Bought another Core, after 3 months same problem. Really poor build quality. Not worth the money.6months in the all the buttons stopped working on the original model so I had no choice but to bin it. I couldn't use the warranty as I had tried to fix the problem myself. BIG MISTAKE. I bought a second Core all black as I'm happy with the functionality and display. After a month same problem with the buttons, The light button stuck down and the other buttons were begining to stick/ I returned it to Sunnto who replaced the whole unit. I can not fault the service, I m losing confidence in the watch and expect it to have button problems again ! When it does I will be looking to replace it with a Casio Protek which appear far more robust and cheaper. I have downgraded my review to 3 stars as when it is working the watch is accurate and suits what I want.

Good watch love it fantastic delivery next day so very happy
