I love the Suunto Watch. It's big and packed with every feature that you could ever need in a watch. It is surprisingly lightweight and the crystal is protected by the rotating bezel. You will never be lost once you have this watch on your wrist. You WILL NOT be disappointed with this watch. Read the manual and you will find that the readings are approximate. I was skeptical about getting the Suunto Core (Light Green) but I'm happy to say that the watch I ordered has easily exceeded my expectations. Here are my other notes:

I love the Suunto Watch. It's big and packed with every feature that you could ever need in a watch. It is surprisingly lightweight and the crystal is protected by the rotating bezel. You will never be lost once you have this watch on your wrist. You WILL NOT be disappointed with this watch. Read the manual and you will find that the readings are approximate. I was skeptical about getting the Suunto Core (Light Green) but I'm happy to say that the watch I ordered has easily exceeded my expectations. Here are my other notes:
1. My previous Suunto watch was the Vector, which served me well for 5 years. After water got into the watch I had to move on to the Casio Pathfinder. While the Pathfinder was a decent ABC watch, it simply never felt like a Suunto.
2. The storm warning alarm is also a God-send, something I rely on when I'm out on my kayak far from camp.
3. Very nice when the sun starts to set and you lose visibility of your terrain and have no landmarks to rely on. The strap is very comfortable and secure, worlds better than the lug-style band that comes with other Cores.
4. As a collector of watches, several of which have been Suunto models, I was drawn to the style of the Core model watches, and the yellow in particular.
5. I used to be a sport diver, but the last couple of decades have proven to take that particular hobby and put it on the back burner. I have other watches that can take much more depth than I can handle, so this isn't much of a major deal for me, but it IS a nice addition.
6. One of the primary reasons I have any Suunto is for the accurate altimeter. I have owned 4 different watches that have this feature, and NONE of them are the equal to ANY of my Suunto watches when it came to accuracy.
Invaluable for the true outdoor hiking enthusiast. When accuracy counts, I stick with Suunto, pure and simple. Again, this watch isn't for everybody. Some complain that the cost is way too high, but again, if you factor in all that the Core can do--which is admittedly a LOT, the cost is understandable. I like the look & feel of the watch for every day use - not as large as I feared.
