Suunto Core 2

[VoiGAS]

Rather an evolution than a revolution I think. But for the price its very attractive. What I think is strange is that the water resistance increased from 50m to 100m, but depth sensor for snorkeling decread from 10m to 2m. I am not a good snorkeler, but even I manage to dive more then 2 Meters…

@André-Faria which one? This is as it should be:

@Egika it was both “2” just 5 minutes ago. So already fixed

Back to the roots ️

[VoiGAS]

@pilleus Wow, its pretty! Whats behind the “Dive” section?

If I hadn’t bought the Vertical 2, this would definitely be the watch I would have bought.

[VoiGAS]

Unfortunately the Vertical 1 Titanium is smaller, same weight (with same strap), same depth rating, same features plus Solar. So I cannot justify the buy .
But I want that Watchface (MIP optimized, not like the Vector thing)

it has a lot more features. not just the solar

it has gps, accelerometer, HR, SpOx (ok neither works great) , applications, color display etc… I have no idea what the core 2 audience is but I would assume is a G-Shock type of

It’s basically a depth meter.
Which makes this ABC watch an ABCD watch

[pilleus]

Steps (synced to Suunto app and shown on the watch and in the app) are accurate, compared to a pedometer in the pocket.

Any chance of pictures with the red back light? I see it stated as feature but not pictures about it
