I currently own a Suunto Core Light Black model and love this watch. I have also owned Highgear, Casio, and Timex watches and consider Suuntos, in general and the new Core, the most accurate. The positive display of the Light Black Core is by far the easiest to read of all my digital watches. The barometer reading is consistantly dead on when I compare it to CNN weather readings on the web. The "auto" function for barometer and altitude is a great feature that works perfectly and the sunrise/sunset feature is a first for Suunto and is also accurate. The mineral glass face on the Core is also much more durable than the plastic faces on other Suunto models. I did experience a battery problem like many Core owners but I replaced the original battery with a new Duracell 2032 and the Core works fine. Battery replacement was easy and fast. Watchbands are easily replaceable and all are interchangable too. The watch is very intuitive to set up and it is not necessary to refer to the manual after you use the watch for awhile. The technology of the Core is far better than previous Suuntos. All in all, a great watch and the positives of the Core far out weigh and few issues. Customer service at this site has also been great for me with respect to orders, returns, questions, or concerns.

I currently own several Suunto Vectors. These watches are bullet-proof and last forever. The only thing I have done is replace the battery. The Vector is highly accurate. They are a bit large but comfortable on the wrist. The positive face Vector is easier to see than the negative face. The Vector has remained in the Suunto line up for years because it is popular and dependable. I would like to see Suunto put mineral glass on the face instead of plastic. Vector watch bands are real easy to replace. A great watch.

I have owned the positive face Suunto X-Lander for two years without any problems except to replace the battery and watch band. The X-Lander is basically a Vector with an aluminum case and mineral glass face. The X-Lander is a dependable and accurate watch with a strong rotating bezel that works and does not get loose over time. The buttons have also remained strong and firm. It is a large watch but is easy to read. The watch is great looking and very accurate.

I have both the Alterra graphite and Alterra shadow watches and I'm very satisfied with both. The Highgear Alterra watch is easy to program and extremely accurate. The time, altimeter, barometer, and compass modes have all worked well with no problems. The Alterra is not excessively large like other watches in this category. It is also very comfortable on the wrist. The battery is easy to replace. The quality of the Alterra is also excellent. It also has a mineral glass face instead of plastic which scratches easily. The price is excellent for all the data this watch has to offer. I own most of the watches Highgear produces and the Alterra is my favorite. Highgear has a winner with this watch.

I have owned both the titanium and stainless steel Suunto Observer watches for years with no problems. The Suunto Observer is a great looking, dependable watch that has never let me down. It is not huge watch on your wrist like many other outdoor sport watches. I like the mineral crystal face on the Observer for durability instead of plastic that scratches easily used on other watches. All functions of this watch have worked perfect since new. The negative face can be difficult to see in low light conditions but you can use the light button if necessary. I do wish replacement bands were cheaper and wish Suunto would produce an all metal replacement band for this watch.
