Nice show-off watch, yet very functional – Black/Yellow – Please Rate! Have had this watch a little over a week, and decided to write an review for it.Just a brief comparison between two top-notch ABC watches: – the Core, and the Casio Pathfinder PAW-1500 Titanium, which I purchase a little over three weeks ago as well. I would say, the cosmetic design, the wealth of functions, the ABC accuracy, and the graphical display of the Core, is better than the Pathfinder. However, the built material, the readability, and the push button feel, is not as good as the Pathfinder.The display is in reverse format, meaning the background is in black, and the alpha-numeric letters are in silver-white. Adjusting the contrast in the Suunto hidden menu does help, but of course, still not as clear as the normal black letter on white background. No fault of Suunto, but just the way the design is. The buttons are responsive and easy to press. To navigate through the menus, the “Mode” button and the “View” button have to be pushed in different…
Superb field watch! I was on a course a few weeks ago, and some of the instructors were wearing Cores. They loved it, but said that using the compass a lot drained battery. Also that you need to regularly calibrate height and compass. (To be fair, that’s what the manual says too, and it’s a simple operation.)Normally I wear an IWC, which is lovely, but not really something you want to be throwing yourself around in- I was considering saving up for an Omega, but logically it didn’t make much sense. I’ve had my Core for a week and so far it’s really excellent. It doesn’t take too long to work out the operation either.Apart from the Suunto diving watches, the Core appears to be the one which can put up with serious “wet” use, (i.e. snorkelling) and you couldn’t find a better watch for Expeds and adventure training. The storm alarm works- actually works; it’s not a gimmick!Despite the size (much bigger than my IWC Spitfire), you don’t notice you’re wearing it, even though…
