Suunto Core Altimeter Barometer Compass (ABC) Watch Light Black £130.00 @ Amazon


£130.00

31°

FOUND BY: Granty 8 months, 3 weeks ago

I was after one of these for a while, preferably in all black but could not get a core less than £180 (unless you want the Garish light green or yellow, which was still £165+!!) and I was looking on ebay and all the usual sites and nothing came up. I kept checking amazon and low and behold they have decided to have the usual random amazon price drop on the light black, which usually retails at £180. I decided i'm not spending another £70 for the colour I want and the light black is pretty snazzy. It's had good reviews all around, features are:

Altimeter
Barometer
Compass
Storm alarm
Sunrise/sunset times
Semi automatic compass calibration
Multi language menu
Logbook
Multiple watch functions
User replaceable battery

Grab one while you can, you know what Amazon are like for pushing prices up when they get a couple of orders.

PLEASE BE AWARE YOU MUST SELECT LIGHT BLACK ON THE LINK AND EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWS ORANGE PICTURE THEY SHOULD NOT SEND THIS COLOUR.

Mine is on the way and I will confirm colour once I have received it.

Upon posting this deal I was slightly gutted to see the 10% off watches voucher but I have just tried it and it does not work for this watch, must fall out of the criteria.

Thanks for the comments and some actually voting hot, it may not be to some peoples tastes but as far as a deal goes its bloody good.

Remote shopping - I doubt there will be any more price reductions, it would be nice but just google for one of these watches and theyre impossible to get cheap. Like I said I think its one of Amazons random drops to get rid of a few bits of stock, probs automated on the system.

It's a good saving, so hot vote from me.

Some things I do not understand for a watch that prides itself on being an outdoor watch, why is is it only capable of being water resistent to 30m? I've seen Casios and Timex which go well beyond that.

There is also a cheaper Suunto watch for £116. Its an older model though. Never bought from these guys.

Yeah the core bases itself upon the vector, I did look at it but after seeing both in real life (and the casios) the core was definately the best looking with the most everyday look compared. I think it doesnt go as deep as you can buy marine watches from Suunto also. This is more of a hillwalkers watch I reckon.

Casio Protrek watches are much better than this one.

Battery replacement is very expensive though
