An Update On The Suunto Core Altimeter Watch
The altimeter watch has long been one of Suunto's primary claims to fame, with the ten year old Vector the staple of their altimeter watch line. In 2007, Suunto decided to change things up a bit by releasing the Suunto Core. Boasting a digital compass, revolutionary storm warning function, and altimeter, this watch promised to re-make conventional thought on altimeter watches.
Revolutionizing an already established industry can be a challenge - many manufacturers have made the attempt to take the altimeter watch from a piece of outdoor gear to a more stylish and functional everyday wear watch. It appeared Suunto had finally achieved this objective with the Core - not only were the features a step up from other altimeter watches, the Core boasted an improved look and feel. It was a good looking, feature-rich altimeter watch!
As with most gear with crazy high expectations, the Suunto Core soon started getting some less than favorable feedback. The first folks that bought the watch experience quickly failing batteries, band issues, and most problematic - software issues rendering the watch unusable. From the outside looking in, it looked like Suunto had not done thorough usability testing.
While the Suunto Core initially had some problems, Suunto has spent a good bit of the last few years not only fixing known issues but continuing to position this fine watch as a market leader. Thankfully, their efforts have largely been successful and the Suunto Core is still THE altimeter watch to buy.
Suunto, true to it's reputation (who would expect less with this fine manufacturer) has fixed the majority of the issues with the Core and now the end buyer can be assured that by purchasing a Suunto Core altimeter watch they are getting a high quality timepiece with rugged durability. The Suunto Core is priced from $249.99 to $499.99 and can be found at many outdoor retailers.
