SUUNTO Unisex's Core Outdoor Watch, All Black, One Size

After watching one of the Equalizer films and being in the market for a G-Shock replacement I noticed this watch and found out it wasn't a prop but an actual consumer available item so I had to have one. I usually go down the Casio route and have been putting off replacing an elderly (2008) Mudman but thought I'd give something else a try. Not really much to say really, it tells the time, has a compass feature (which you have to calibrate) tells you barometric pressure etc. Things I like about it, its incredibly comfortable to wear to the point you feel like you're not wearing a watch and its not as chunky as my usual Casio. The battery is just a standard CR2032 cell and the back cover can be opened with a thin coin or butter knife. Downsides, and there's only one as far as I'm concerned is the display and its readability in low light conditions. Its readability is very poor, even with the backlight which is very subtle. Outdoors and in bright environments readability is excellent, in total darkness with the backlight on its also excellent but anything in-between, reading anything but the main time can be a struggle. Still an excellent watch though.

I specifically ordered this watch as a GPS watch, which is how it was described in the product description. The idea was to upgrade from my much loved Casio Altitude measuring watch, to one which would also be able to use GPS for navigation on featureless moorland. (There is a lot of it in the North of the Peak District!) I was very very disappointed when the watch arrived, as nowhere in the "Quick User Guide" did it explain how to use the GPS. Yes there were instructions on setting the time and date (pretty intuitive really) and the altitude ( hang on, with a GPS watch, shouldn't it know the altitude?) and also how to calibrate the compass, but nothing on how to access the GPS. It turns out that this is because it doesn't have GPS capability. Thankfully, Amazon accepted my return request. As for the rest, well, I had read a number of the reviews which said that the display was too dark, and I totally agree. It might have been OK if you wanted to pose about, with a "stealth" watch, but I had bought it to be able to read it, in conditions where daylight can vary from bright sun to dark overcast skies and rain. I doubt that it would have been easy to read in any such conditions. All in all, I could not recommend the watch for the purpose for which I had bought it. I am sticking with my old Casio!

100% happy with my purchase , the compass feature is very good especially if your into a lot of hiking and use a map around locations

Great quality. Takes a lot of abuse offshore. Solid build. Great backlight. Love the dual time zone option for travel. Only annoyance is the buttons can still scroll through displayed info when in locked mode.

Bought this watch for my dad. And it is impossible to achieve a decent contrast on display!! Tried all 15 levels - each one is worse than the previous one.

Can’t see the screen and no instructions to change it!!!

Do not buy It's not the product from the description

L'article livré est une Suunto core all black. Ne correspond donc pas a l'article décrit et commandé. Retour a l'expediteur dans la semaine. Ca m'enerve. L'article decrit est une suunto core alpha stealth (donc avec le retro eclairage) c'est le titre et la description du produit, sans compter les presque 100 euros de differences entre ces 2 modeles. Bien que je me rende compte que le numero de reference de l'article en reference SS014279010 correspond a la All black. Alors que : À propos de cet article Core Alpha Stealth SS014279010 Durable SUUNTO

E' il secondo che compro per le sue caratteristiche tecinche che mi portano ad usarla in montagna e al mare facendo alpinismo e apnea. Non è il più tecnologiacmente avanzato (ca va san dire) ma è una garanzia. Batteria che dura circa un anno usandolo piuttosto spesso e cinturino di gomma molto delicato. Insomma dovete essere proprio innamorati come me di questo orologio per comprarlo.

ATTENZIONE! Il prodotto NON è il Suunto alpha stealth, ma l'all black. Completamente diverso. Ho tentato di acquistarlo 2 volte, ma in entrambi i casi ho ricevuto la versione più economica dello stealth. Titolo e immagine del prodotto sono ingannevoli. 1 stella perché non può essere che voluta la cosa da parte del venditore.

Conforme alla descrizione. Arrivato prima del previsto con ottimo imballaggio. Venditore consigliato.
