You don’t have to take the Suunto Core Collector’s Edition Everest Watch to the world’s highest peak, but you could if you wanted to. Made with renowned mountaineer Apa Sherpa’s signature engraved on the back, this titan of a timepiece is part of a one-time run of 8,848 units to reflect Everest’s height in meters. If the tech features aren’t enough to woo you, then know that a portion of the proceeds will go directly to The Apa Sherpa Foundation to support the remote village near Everest Base Camp.
- Altimeter usable up to 30,000 feet, which means you’d have to ride the wing of a jetliner to pass this gauge’s limit
- Altitude log and altitude difference measurement help you track your movements in the alpine world
- Barometer with automatic alti/baro lock , weather trend indicator, and storm alarm means you may never have to watch the weather channel again
- Depth meter is usable to 32.8 feet under water so you can get info on your sub-sea-level exploits as well
Bottom Line: One of a kind . Actually, one of 8,848.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I love the Core's basic primary functions; altimeter, barometer, compass - but this Everest edition adds Style to the categories. And a portion of the proceeds will go directly to The Apa Sherpa Foundation. Love this watch. In the outdoors, or out to hang with friends.
Can someone who owns this watch confirm this watch has a heart
Can someone who owns this watch confirm this watch has a heart rate monitor? (I do not see the chest strap pictured)

It's a mistake, Mike, there is no heart monitor on the Core. The Vector HR does have most of the same functions as a Core, if you require an ABC watch with a Heart Rate monitor as well. There is also the Suunto X6HR, HRM, and HRT, as well, but I don't think Backcountry carries these at the moment.

do you have to enter a reference elevation with this watch to get accurate altimeter readings?

These do have a smart feature that senses your movement, or lack thereof, switching between altimeter and barometer accordingly. When you’re climbing, it records changes in elevation. And when you stop to rest, it records changes in barometric pressure. --Though yes, an occasional calibration is definitely suggested, this feature really does do a good job of keeping your altitude readings accurate.
