Suunto Core Altimeter Watch
Great watch, a little large
By Sam Hansen
Ranked #173 - Altimeters
December 12, 2010
The first version I had glitched, so I returned it. The second has been great, this is my 2nd year with it, fairly accurate, lots of features, and once you figure out the format, is really easy to use. I've heard complaints about the battery going dead too soon, but I've only had to replace mine about once a year. As long as you don't leave the watch in compass mode or altimeter mode when you're not using them, it will last a while. Those two functions chew up the battery. There is also a button lock mode which prevents buttons from accidentally being pressed, a nice feature. My only complaint is I wish it wasn't so big, but this could also be viewed as a plus because its easier to read...
