Adjusting the contrast in the Suunto Core hidden menu will help, in reality, still not as sharp as the normal black letter on bright background. No mistake of Suunto, but just the way the look is.

The buttons are receptive and easy to press. To navigate through the menus, the “Mode” button and the “View” button need to be pressed in different combination to get what you want. It could seem to be complicated in the beginning, but as soon as you understand the reasonable structure, it’s pretty easy to remember. Give yourself a week to get used to it.

Compliments: Incredibly precise ABC. I compare their readings with the actual ABC instruments. The precision is incredible and is better than the Casio Pathfinder in the dust! The storm alerts responds to the air pressure change accurately too. The digital compass is awesome. Once you set the course, the bearing indicator would display an arrow and directional words (left and right), to direct you to the accurate course, which is a great feature. User installable batteries which is great to save a lot of money down the road.

Problems: The directional rotation ring is hard to move. If you have finger nails, you’ll want to use them, if you nip your finger nails, best of luck. The alarm is a bit soft and difficult to notice sometimes. The same problem as the Pathfinder. I wish they can make it louder. The wrist strap looks and feels cheap. The illuminator is a bit poor too.

Suggestions: This watch has gained plenty of poor reps due to bad quality control in its vendor plant in China. It’s been a great deal of issues and reported problem. After doing some investigation, it seems that Suunto has finally fixed the hardware and software glitches. Whenever you purchase the watch, ensure the serial number starts from “918xxxxxx” onward. Mine is “944″ and so far it’s great. You need to email the seller, to ensure they send you the updated version as mentioned above, in that case your brand new watch will not likely spend most of its lifetime going back and forth in the shipping vehicles.
