Core 2?

VoiGAS

@snow Sounds great! But no Solar is a missed chance .

@VoiGAS I’m not sure solar is the best choice for this type of equipment. Mine, 2008 , lasts six months on a single battery, and in my opinion, that’s more than enough. Curious to know what bt is used for…
By the way, it uses a CR3032 battery, so it has a capacity of 500 mAh… almost twice that of the 2032

@snow My Citizen Promaster Sky runs since more than 20 years with solar .
But I can just use the Vertical 1 as a Smartwatch with Solar, so no urgent need for me

@snow is it easy to change the battery ? because honestly going every 6 month to someone to make the battery change seems like a chore, And on many watches changing the battery yourself could cause issues to the waterproofness

@Elipsus said in Core 2?:

is it easy to change the battery ?

a joke. Sometimes you need to change the o-ring, but again easy

A second gen of the Core series is very good news. I find the Core Alpha Stealth very appealing and been thinking about buying it but now I think I might wait for the Core 2.

@snow a second gen Core. Please post updates as soon as possible. I really like my old Core, but a new one

@HoBart Hopefully, it gets launched earlier than I expect.
I wonder if any of the field testers can drop a hint or two - I understand the restrictions of a NDA.

Suunto Core 2!.. For me, this is the best news from the world of watches this year!
I love my Core Alpha and I’m curious to see if there will be any hardware or software improvements. Newer isn’t always better. But so far, it looks promising.
Just yesterday, I changed the battery in my Core Alpha for the first time in a one year and seven months. I did it in about 30 seconds, sitting on a bench with just a coin. Water resistance is working. A great and affordable survival watch.
