Product Description
You look up and see stars. But your Suunto Core sees an approaching squall. And it tells you with the Storm Alarm - one of several intelligent features that can help you make consistently good decisions. Building on the success of the venerable Suunto Vector, the Suunto Core keeps you informed with an accurate altimeter, barometer, digital thermometer, Weather Trend Indicator and digital compass. The pressure gauge operates in four distinct modes, including an automatic setting that senses your movement or lack thereof, switching between altimeter and barometer accordingly. The compass features a rotating bezel for traditional use, or a one-touch function that allows you to sight, lock and follow a bearing. Daily functions include dual time, date, alarm, sports chronograph and predicted times for sunrise and sunset.

Poor quality December 31, 2008

I have had my Core for less than a year and have had to send it in for repairs 4 times. The pins that hold the band to the watch are weak and come undone and fall out frequently. I finally convinced Suunto to send me spare pins, and I secured them myself. I have twice had to send it in for button failures, and now for a display failure.
Suunto has always replaced the watch, but it is a tedious process of creating a service order and mailing it in. That means no wathc for a few weeks. I am currently in Iraq and will have to mail it to someone in the US to ship to handle as Suunto will not take it from here.
There are few differences between the Core and the Vector. The storm alarm is fairly worthless, and will drive you nuts going off when the A/C turns on in the house. The sunrise/sunset feature is cute.
My suggestion is to stick with the Suunto Vector. It will hold up much better.
