Suunto Core Altimeter Watch

Item #SUN0090 | 212 in Stock

Does this unit contain a stop-watch? How really water-resistant...

By Ranked #140 - Altimeters September 11, 2011

Does this unit contain a stop-watch? How really water-resistant is this watch? I have read several reviews both here and on Amazon.com from folks who have stated that their Suunto Vector or Core watches have failed after taking them in the swimming pool! I intend to wear this watch kayaking and I do have a roll. Thx.

it has a depth meter up to 30' (so it'll go to there no prob) and its water resistant up to 100'. had mine down to 27' or so free diving (so not staying at that depth for prolonged periods) and it does great, never had a leak problem. and if you end up with a defected one (not likely) send that shit back to bc and they'll send you brand spanken new one no Q's asked.

My Cores have survived rafting the Kenai River, snowmachining 160 miles inland, climbing, hiking all over Alaska. Not to mention a lot of hot tubs. It'll survive just about everything you throw at it. It's only weak point is shock and impact resistance. The case isn't quite as robust as the Casio Pathfinder/Pro Treks. The fact that they're way more accurate is worth it. Yes it has a stopwatch, and a countdown timer.
