Suunto Core
Essential equipment for the vertically inclined, the Suunto Core is the professional benchmark for ABC wristops.
You look up and see stars. But your Suunto Core sees an approaching squall. And it tells you with the Storm Alarm - one of several
intelligent features that can help you make consistently good decisions. Building on the success of the venerable Suunto Vector,
the Suunto Core keeps you informed with an accurate altimeter, barometer, digital thermometer, Weather Trend Indicator and digital
compass.
The pressure gauge operates in four distinct modes, including an automatic setting that senses your movement or lack thereof,
switching between altimeter and barometer accordingly. The compass features a rotating bezel for traditional use, or a one-touch
function that allows you to sight, lock and follow a bearing. Daily functions include dual time, date, alarm, sports chronograph
and predicted times for sunrise and sunset.

Altimeter
Accurate to 30,000 feet, the Suunto Core altimeter is a valuable tool for mountaineering,
backcountry skiing and wilderness travel. it displays your current elevation, shows how much you’ve climbed or descended, and
records your entire session for later analysis.
---In the field
How high is this bluff? How high is my friend’s penthouse apartment? How high are you? These
and other curiosities are answered with a simple turn of the wrist. If you’re on or near an obvious feature (like a ridge, trail
or creek), you can use your current elevation to find your position on a topographic map. If you plan on climbing a slope to a
certain elevation and then traversing, an altimeter is an ideal tool for staying on course. You can also use elevation to gauge
your progress. The Suunto Core displays elevation gained and lost between a given point (a trailhead or belay station) and your
current position. Simplifying altimeter use, the Suunto Core includes a unique start-from-zero function that eliminates the need
for entering a reference altitude. With the single push of a button, the altimeter will begin tracking your ascent and descent.
Barometer
A veritable weather station on your wrist, the Suunto Core barometer measures and records air pressure to help you predict
changing conditions, from sunny skies to hair-bending electrical storms.
---In the field
Soft shell or rain shell? Onward ho or high-tail it back to the car? And, more importantly, are
the fish biting? These and other questions can be answered with a quick look at the Suunto Core barometer.
In general, low
pressure brings inclement weather, while high pressure brings stability and clear skies. If you’ve arrived at camp and notice the
pressure starting to plunge, it’s probably a good idea to secure the tent and crawl in. Likewise, if you’re on a climb, it would
be a prudent to find shelter or retreat. When you’re hiking in a canyon or dense forest without views of the horizon, a barometer
can “see” into the distance, keeping you posted of changes in air pressure that can lead to ugly weather. Even at home, the Suunto
Core barometer looks beyond office walls, skyscrapers and nearby hills to help you plan for upcoming activities.
Auto Alti/Baro
An altimeter measures air pressure to determine altitude, while a barometer measures air pressure
to determine barometric pressure. If you leave your watch in altimeter mode while hanging out at camp, an incoming low-pressure
front will read as a gain in altitude. Thus, it’s important to choose the right mode for your activity: altimeter for climbing,
and barometer for hanging out at camp. The Suunto Core makes it easy to manually choose the proper mode for your activity. The
Suunto Core features an automatic Alti/Baro mode that senses movement or lack thereof, switching between altimeter and barometer
accordingly. When you’re climbing, it records changes in elevation. And when you stop to rest, it records changes in barometric
pressure. A drop in air pressure while you’re sleeping under the stars will be recorded for what it really is: a change in
barometric pressure, not altitude.
Weather trend indicator
What’s the forecast? Check your wrist. The Weather trend indicator shows the barometric
history for the last three and six hours, helping you predict the weather with amazing accuracy. What’s more, it’s not a regional
forecast posted earlier in the day, but rather, the most current information about the weather directly overhead, whether you’re
hiking, biking or enjoying a cup of Joe with the morning paper.
Storm Alarm
Setting up your tent in a downpour. Heading farther from shore as a storm gathers. Starting up a
climb with thunderheads in the distance. The Suunto Storm Alarm can help you avoid these situations. Activated by a rapid drop in
air pressure over a three-hour period, the Storm Alarm sounds and flashes, letting you know that something unpleasant is fast
approaching.
Compass
The digital compass on the Suunto Core is a great tool for keeping track of direction while skiing,
hiking or exploring a new city. You can set and follow a bearing with a traditional rotating bezel, or simply point the top of the
watch toward your intended destination and lock it in.
Sunrise/Sunset
Maximize your daylight hours and never miss another alpenglow photo with daily sunrise and sunset
times on the Suunto Core. Just set your continent, region and city, and you’ll always know how much daylight remains for safe
climbing, skiing and off-trail travel.
Depth meter
Head into the surf, and the Suunto Core shifts from air to water pressure, providing accurate depth
readings to 10 meters / 30 feet.
