Suunto Core Orange Black
I’ve had my Core for less than a year and have needed 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’ve twice needed to send it in for button failures, and now for a display failure.
Suunto has always replaced the watch, but it is really a tedious procedure of creating a service order and mailing it in. That means no wathc for a couple of weeks. I am currently in Iraq and will need to mail it to somebody within the US to ship to handle as Suunto won’t take it from here.
You will find couple of differences between the Core and also the Vector. The storm alarm is fairly worthless, and will drive you nuts going off when the A/C turns on within the house. The sunrise/sunset feature is cute.
My suggestion is to stick with the Suunto Vector. It will hold up a lot much better
