Muito leve, acabamento impecável, pulseira muito ergonômica, fica muito legal no pulso. Funções todas funcionam super bem, fui avisado de duas tempestades em minha região com 1:30h de antecedência.

The Suunto core.. this thing is really tough. My job entails heavy metal, sharp edges, getting hit, by accident, regularly by tools and things. Its been 7 years and my first core is still completely like new, I bought a replacement because I just Have-to have a core like the one I bought years ago and once it finally does fail Ill be able to pop this out of the box and still have the most favorite watch Ive ever owned. Im sure business minds will phase out this model sometime. As for scratches, just a small amount of black paint missing.. and I mean like a hairs thickness wide in no more than 3 places.. Its really hard for me to believe. The glass really has NO scratches. Now follow me, I try to NOT scratch my watch, I take care if Im going to work on something where obviously emery cloth will scratch the hell out of the face or bezel. But hey it happens, and you just go.. damn it! when you hit it or scratch somthing against it.. But when I expected a huge scratch I had to look close.. and I mean many times of saying Damn it!.. Something about how the bezel is shaped really helps deflect the hits I guess.. Ive heard many people moan about the battery life… And NOW IM GOING TO BLOW A GASKET>>.. please morons… read the manuals. OR.. use your heads.. The watch is a LARGE FACE WATCH… So guess what.. IT HAS A “LOCK” feature so inadvertent button presses will not turn the light on or change the settings.. Take the watch… push it forward toward your fingers.. now cock your wrist up or down fully. you WILL press a button most likely.. If you press the lock function and check for the little padlock symbol to appear in the top center of the dial you will see battery life that all watches enjoy.. If you have a core that “Really uses batteries” good for you,.. Im glad your keeping the watch battery factories smiling.. My core in seven years has had maybe 3 batteries. And I overuse the compass and light. My watches prior to this have never lasted more than 3 years. Im a licensed diver too.. so Ive tried the tracer and luminox dive watches. I really liked them too and I do have a Tawatec tritium watch I switch out from time to time.. also a great watch for sure albeit non-digital. The cores compass works flawlessly, the arrow for barometric changes has worked great from the start. Arrow points up I know its going to be nice, flat arrow means more of the same, and down means pay attention to your weather. While diving it have worked perfectly too. If your tech savy, or not this watch is slim, just the right diameter, isnt HUGE, its bigger than first gen luminox, but Im just average and it looks like a spendy and not trendy workhorse. I see lots and lots of military and police using these. My job put me in their presence daily. The functions are just like the directions say and no real reviewing needs to be done, if you want someone to explain the alarm or chono its below my tolerance level to do that. Scrolling around the different settings is not hard, you just use the center button to get started and if you need help watch a youtube vid of setting one up.. These watches are really really worth the hype, or Ill just say they are worth ME hyping them up. I dont ask anyone to look at anything that hasnt really really delivered on its promises.. And this really does. If you like the looks of this watch, youll be sold once its on your wrist. Just lock the display so you can enjoy it working like its suppose to, for the amount of battery life its suppose to have. Cheers.

La verdad es un reloj que no debe faltar en tu colección. fácil de programar y de entender. es de muy buena calidad y por el precio y funciones no le pide nada a los casio de su categoría. La luz es muy padre y las funciones excelentes y muy precisas. llego muy rápido (2 días hábiles) y el paquete en muy buen estado y el reloj nuevo!

W zasadzie jedyna wada tego zegarka jest zawarta w tytule recenzji Tryb auto dla wysokościomierza/barometru/głębokościomierza w zasadzie nie działał
PODSTAWOWE ZALETY: -brak komunikacji z telefonem(komunikaty nie rozoraszają) -bateria którą można wymienić samodzielnie
Czy kupiłbym ponownie – TAK

I waited for quite a while to buy this Suunto Core as I wanted to see if the Apple Watch was something that would interest me. It wasn’t. This replaces a Casio Pathfinder that I wore for about five years. After two months of ownership, I am now writing a review as I think I know enough now to relate an educated experience. First off, the looks: This is a really, really gorgeous watch. It makes the Casio look like very clunky in comparison. It’s lightweight (more than I expected) and is extremely comfortable to wear. I did switch out the band for the optional Suunto black rubber/aluminum one and think the look and comfort improved even more. The original band had a “brittle” feel and it was either too big or too small for me with the adjusting holes available. The optional band’s satin black aluminum lugs and matt black rubber sheen really works with the highly polished lens, the matt black case and the satin black bezel. I added photos to show the difference in appearance. Also, if you opt for the other band, the screws that fasten the crossbars are teensy and have been reported as easily lost. I used Loctite when installing mine.
I thought the contrast was a bit low as shipped so bumped it up a few notches. That has a tendency to reveal some of the LED zones as they show up a bit lighter than the surrounding black mask, but it’s a tradeoff in the ability to see the time.
The battery life has started out badly as I received the watch on 4/29 and had to replace the battery on 5/18. Hopefully that was due to being powered up in inventory for a while before I got it. I’m going to keep track of changes to see what the trend is like. Changing the battery is easy and is best accomplished with a coin (I used a US nickel since it’s the thickest). It uses one inexpensive and readily available CR2032 3V coin cell.
Edit: I finally had to change the battery 16 months after installing the new one on 5/18/15 so no real complaints with battery life.
The operating system is very easy to use (much more so than the Casio’s). I really like the “guide ticks” that show up around the dial to indicate which buttons are active in each mode. I keep the watch locked in barometer mode for day to day wear. This has a tendency to trigger the storm alarm constantly so I turned that off. It was getting irritating. The stopwatch is the biggest disappointment as it is way too small and shows up as a sub-display of the time rather than having its own screen. If you are hoping for the big stopwatch like on Denzel Washington’s Suunto in “The Equalizer” you will be disappointed. From what I have read, those displays were digitally added to his watch for the movie and Suunto did not do a special firmware for him as reported in several places. I would really love to see Suunto offer a firmware with a large stopwatch mode.
I have not had much occasion to use the compass, but it’s easy to activate and will be useful on hikes. The temperature function is useless unless you remove the watch and let it stabilize on ambient temperature instead of your arm temperature. Mine usually reads 82 degrees F.
So to sum up, I’m extremely pleased with the All-Black Core. If you track the prices, they will dip to around $200 from time to time so if you are patient you can save enough to buy the extra band.
