Excellent watch for everyday use. I wish the instructions had been more specific.

Really nice watch! This was a gift for someone and they absolutely loved it!

I read all the reviews and watched numerous YouTube reviews on the Suunto Core - All Black. I have worn a Casio GW3000-BB for several years - I saw this watch on the Equalizer movie and found out what the watch was.I'll start with the bad:My Casio GW3000-BB is an atomic watch, which means it syncs with atomic time, is extremely accurate and never need to be set. It is also a solar watch so as long as I don't put it in a box for 3 days, it stays charged and I don't have to change the battery. It is a G-Shock with a rubber-ish body - it has taken quite a beating and looks no worse for the wear after several years. It is also water resistant to 100 meters.The Suunto Core does not have any of this - which is one reason it took me forever to decide to fork out over 200 on the Suunto.Also, the stopwatch feature on this watch isn't anything like the cool blue stopwatch Denzel used in the movie. It's a small readout under the time and is actually harder to see. I don't believe you can move that to the primary section where time is displayed. Not that big a deal because I don't use it that much - but if it were more prominent I might use it more.Here's the good:The Suunto is a very nice looking watch. It is a low profile watch - low glare - negative face. It is a heck of a lot more functional than my Casio - after all this time I still am not sure how to set the Casio's limited functions - alarm, DST, stopwatch. It is an analog also which is a drawback to me.The Suunto is completely digital, and the functions are easy to use and intuitive. It has positive beeps when you push a button and is backlit! The Casio's hands and tick marks are glow in the dark. Unless you've been in bright light for a while, you can't read the watch in the dark. And even if you have, that glow fades fairly quickly.The Suunto has the Altimeter and Barometer function -this is an excellent feature because we like to go to the mountains and I like to track the increase in elevation. It also has a compass - this is a basic survival/navigational necessity and it's cool to have one on my watch. I try to use the one on the iPhone but it basically sucks.The Suunto is actually lighter than my Casio and the band is much more comfortable - it's a soft rubbery-like plastic. It doesn't cut into your arm when you move.It also has the capacity to show dual time zones which is awesome as my employer is based in another time zone and I'm constantly trying to calculate the time difference when setting up meetings.Other than that, I can say I'm happy I bought the watch, for the following reasons:1. Able to read the watch at night with backlight2. More comfortable3. Bigger face than the Casio4. Digital and not analog5. Easy-to-use6. More usable functions

Amazing little watch with a lot of functionality for something that doesn’t require connection to a smartphone. Work in an area where you can’t have wireless devices but want a GPS enabled, barometer alerting, temp telling, alarm setting and more watch? Get this.
