User questions & answers

Question:	Can this store music and play to a blue tooth headset
Answer:	No It is a TACTICAL watch, was made for military use. I have it and have used it in Syria, Iraq and several other countries. It is a really good watch and has a great battery life, playing music would kill the battery.
Question:	Can you download courses created from a 3rd party site as a .gpx or .tcx file? Or do you have to exclusively use Garmin Connect &/or Explore for that
Answer:	For course creation other than Garmin Connect Garmin devices are compatible with Strava and Map My Run. For more information contact us at [email protected] or visit our Support Center, https://support.garmin.com/en-US/ Thanks Jenny
Question:	Does this watch have a great compass,a good one, or none at all? I bought it for my son for Christmas the compass is an important feature for him
Answer:	Good Compass but not great Hold down on one of the buttons and the watch face becomes a compass. It shows the degrees (0-360) and the general direction (SE for example). You would not use this watch to plot a course on a map. For that, you can buy a compass for less than $20 that lie flat on a map, can be adjusted for a magnetic correction, they have lines, etc.
Question:	I do desert exploring on a polaris rzr. can i track my course while riding and then use it to return home the way i came
Answer:	Yes, this function is available when set to a GPS activity. You can navigate back to the starting point of your current activity in a straight line or along the path you traveled

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you change the date? There doesn't appear to be a middle setting and going around a 24 hour cycle doesn't do it either
Answer:	You have to go forward with the time setting, 24 hours for each day. I just reset mine this weekend to the correct date.
Question:	How does this watch stand up to outdoor use
Answer:	I've had this watch for about 9 months. I've worn it during climbs up multiple 14,000+ ft peaks, subfreezing weekend camp outs, a week-long backpacking trek in the Grand Canyon, and several games of kickball. Besides some barely-noticeable scratches, it's held up very well. Would definitely buy again.
Question:	Good first watch for a teenager? For a present will it fit small wrists
Answer:	Hard to say, depends on wrist size. I bought this for my fiance who is 6'2" 200+lbs and it fits his wrist well.
Question:	Is it loud
Answer:	Yes. This watch is great but it is very loud. That would be my only "con". I've had it for about two years. I can hear it when I use a public bathroom. Never bothers me in the drawer or in the stand at night, though.

User questions & answers

Question:	what size are the watch band springs
Answer:	I had the band it comes with removed & an adjustable band put on, so I'm not sure.
Question:	Does the Indiglo light up the numbers, so they glow? Or does it backlight behind the numbers, so they look black
Answer:	The numbers are black, they glow with a green color when the button is pressed......Hope this helps....
Question:	Does it have dual time zones
Answer:	Yes it does, but it took me a while to figure out how to switch from one to the other. To see the alternate time zone you press Start/Split, and to make it stay on the display you hold that button down until the alternate time zone sticks. Handy for me because when I go from one coast to the other it's easy to remind myself what time it is back home.
Question:	Can not stop the beeping @ 1 AM help
Answer:	From the instruction pdf:Setting the ALARM is similar to setting TIME. Your watch model has three alarms. Follow below procedure to set each alarm.1.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this band hold up in salt water
Answer:	Hi there! DUPLO® sets are not made in the USA. They don't from any one place, rather each set may contain pieces (bricks, booklet, box, etc.) from different manufacturing facilities all over the world. Any single set may contain parts made in Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, China, and the Czech Republic. So, your DUPLO set is kind of like a little trip around the world all in one box! Kind regards, Emily LEGO® Customer Service
Question:	What do you do if the band snaps at the face of the watch? Can it be fixed
Answer:	It’s an airplane and it’s very nice size
Question:	What’s the Black and matte black difference
Answer:	yes, my grandson enjoys it. The airplane occasionally comes apart, but still a good toy
Question:	What is the circular thing on the face with the "shock resist" 2,4,6,8,10 out to the side for
Answer:	Thanks for your question! Since our primary audience with LEGO® DUPLO® is children, you'll be happy to know that safety is at the top of our priority list! DUPLO® bricks come in all sorts of sizes and shapes, so measurements can vary a lot, but they’re all twice the length, width, and height of traditional LEGO® bricks. One of our most basic DUPLO pieces – a 2x2 brick – measures 1.25” by 1.25” and comes to about 0.75” tall (not including the studs on top). Knowing that LEGO® products will be handled by kids in all sorts of ways – in hands, in mouths, and in every room of the house- all DUPLO sets undergo rigorous testing and must meet the strictest standards. This includes pull tests, impact tests, compression tests, and step tests. This means that any DUPLO® element your child plays with will not cause any harm. If you would like more information on our safety guidelines for DUPLO® products or have any further questions, please reach out to one of our friendly customer service experts at LEGO.com/Service.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the battery life
Answer:	This is going to be a guess but I am going to say 5+ years. I've only sent my watch back to Bertucci once for a battery and new band which is a service they provide by the way. I really didn't need the band at the time as the original is very durable, but it was well worn so why not put a new one on. Love the watch, perfect, simple analog, no bells, no whistles, just an extremely durable time piece.
Question:	What size watch band
Answer:	Its has traditional holes for adjustment.
Question:	how long is the band
Answer:	10” band only. 10.5” if you measure from the tip of the buckle. Great watch by the way.
Question:	Is the watch in the off position when I receive it? Or is already running
Answer:	If you buy direct from Bertucci, the stem will have a small plastic stopper preventing it from running.

Product description

The weather was clear for days as your expedition ascended 10,000 feet, but then the barometric pressure started to change and your Storm Alarm went off. Thanks to the Suunto Core Altimeter Watch, you set up your high altitude camp ahead of the big storm and are in your sleeping bag sipping hot cocoa before it hits. Bravo.

Building on the success of the venerable Suunto Vector, the Suunto Core keeps you informed of conditions while you hike, bike, or camp, making it a terrific companion for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. What can the Suunto Core do for you? For starters, it can sense an approaching squall even when the sky looks clear. This intelligent Storm Alarm--one of several intelligent features designed to keep you safe and secure--is activated by a rapid drop in air pressure over a three-hour period. Once the Core senses the change, the Storm Alarm sounds and flashes, letting you know that something unpleasant is fast approaching. The built-in altimeter, meanwhile, displays your current elevation, shows how much you've climbed or descended, and records your entire session for later analysis. Accurate to within 30,000 feet, the altimeter is an extremely valuable tool for mountaineering, backcountry skiing, and wilderness travel. Add in such additional features as a barometer, a digital thermometer, a weather trend indicator, and a digital compass and you have a terrific wrist-top computer for almost all your outdoor needs.

The altimeter contributes to your excursion in several ways. If you're standing on or near an obvious geographic feature, such as a ridge, trail, or creek, the altimeter can alert you to your current elevation and help you find your position on a topographic map. Similarly, if you plan on climbing a slope to a certain elevation and then traversing, the Core can help you stay on course. And as a bonus, the Suunto Core includes a unique start-from-zero function, so you don't have to enter a reference altitude. Instead, with the single push of a button, the altimeter will begin tracking your ascent and descent.

The Core also includes a barometer, which measures and records air pressure to help you predict changing conditions--from sunny skies to hair-bending electrical storms. The barometer helps you decide whether to bring a soft shell or rain shell jacket when the skies look ominous, or even when to high-tail it back to the car. 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 were on a climb, it would be prudent to find shelter and retreat. Even at home, the Suunto Core barometer can look beyond office walls, skyscrapers, and nearby hills to help you plan for upcoming activities.

If you want a weather forecast that extends out a few hours, you can turn to the built-in weather trend indicator. The indicator shows the barometric history for the last three and six hours, helping you predict the weather with amazing accuracy. What's more, the watch doesn't give you a regional forecast posted earlier in the day, but rather the most current information about the weather directly overhead. And no outdoor watch is worth its salt without a digital compass, a great tool for keeping track of your 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.

Additional features include several traditional watch functions, including dual times, a date display, and an alarm; predicted times for sunrise and sunset to help you maximize your daylight hours; an automatic Alti/Baro mode that senses movement or lack thereof and switches between the altimeter and barometer accordingly; a depth meter that provides accurate water depth readings to 30 feet; and the ability to function in English, German, French, and Spanish. Available in such colors as all black, aluminum black, light black, black orange, aluminum brown, light green, black yellow, and steel , the Suunto Core carries a two-year warranty.

About Suunto

Suunto was founded in 1936 by outdoors man and a keen orienteering enthusiast, Tuomas Vohlonen, who had long been bothered by a problem: the inaccuracy of traditional dry compasses and their lack of steady needle operation. Being an engineer with an inventive turn of mind, he discovered and patented the production method for a much steadier needle, better readings, and a new level of accuracy.

By 1950 the company was exporting compasses to over 50 countries around the world, including Canada and the United States. In 1952, Helsinki was hosting the Olympic Games, and the torches carried to light the Olympic flame were Suunto products. The next step was improving the stability and accuracy of marine compasses. The first marine compass, the Suunto K-12, was launched onto the market in 1953. In 1957, Suunto started manufacturing hypsometers, which measure the height of trees.

In the 1960s, the compass range grew further and Suunto introduced its first diving compass--initiated by the divers themselves. A British sports diver attached a Suunto compass to his wrist and found that the device also worked underwater. Thanks to his feedback and initiatives, the new business category was found. Suunto's exports and business grew steadily and Suunto then focused on combining its strength in precision mechanics with new skills in electronics. Accuracy, reliability, and ruggedness have been Suunto's key values from the very beginning of the company history.

Today, Suunto is a leading designer and manufacturer of sports instruments for training, diving, mountaineering, hiking, skiing, sailing, and golf. True to its roots, Suunto is today the world's biggest compass manufacturer. Prized for their design, accuracy and dependability, Suunto sports instruments combine the aesthetics and functionality of watches with sport-specific computers that help athletes at all levels analyze and improve performance. Headquartered in Vantaa, Finland, Suunto employs more than 500 people worldwide and distributes its products to nearly 60 countries. The company is a subsidiary of Helsinki-based Amer Sports Corporation with the sister brands Wilson, Salomon, Atomic, Precor, and Mavic.

User questions & answers

Question:	what size wrist does the standard black rubber strap fit
Answer:	My wrist is ~8.5", maybe a little more. The Vector band fits my wrist on the last hole. There is not enough band left to fit into the sleeve intended to secure the end of the band. The Core band is about 3/4" longer.
Question:	My watch is in another language how do i get it to english? i believe it's in german
Answer:	Push the 2 left buttons and upper and lower right buttons at the same time, puts the watch in sleep mode then push right center button and wait for it to turn on, it’ll say language, scroll with right upper and lower buttons
Question:	Does this track distance
Answer:	As far as I know, no, A B C, altimeter, barometric, compass. I was debating on this watch vs. a GPS watch, but I wouldn't use the GPS watch as much. I hope this helps
Question:	Has anyone had problems with Suunto not honoring warranties for those who purchased the Suunto core from amazon.com
Answer:	I have been researching the Suunto Core All Black to find the best price for purchase. One of the key features needed is an alarm clock, but I could not find any definitive information as to whether it had one or not. Even the Suunto website and manual was not very cut and dry with an answer. I contacted Suunto customer service and asked about this function (pf which they responded in the affirmative), but I also asked the comment made here stating Amazon purchases are not honored via warranty. Suunto stated this is COMPLETELY FALSE! Amazon IS an authorized reseller. You need only keep your receipt. Finally have this issue/question clearly and easily resolved after so many guesses since 2013!
