Suunto Core Altimeter Watch
Not worth it

I got an alu light about 9 months ago. I figured it would use less battery and be easy to read after looking at both light and dark models. I also figured the aluminum casing would make the watch virtually indestructible. Battery life seemed reasonable had to put in new batteries after about 9 months. I think sunrise sunset on a watch might be the most useful mountaineering planning item ever. The aluminum casing though is no good. I babied the watch but after about 6 months the buttons began corroding and the back began to turn black, reading the post apparently other people have had the same problem which is no good for a $500 time piece and it gets worse pretty fast.
