Building on the success of the venerable Suunto Vector, the Suunto Core
keeps you informed of conditions while you hike, bike, or camp, making
it a terrific companion for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. What can
the Suunto Core do for you? For starters, it can sense an approaching
squall even when the sky looks clear. This intelligent Storm Alarm--one
of several intelligent features designed to keep you safe and secure--is
activated by a rapid drop in air pressure over a three-hour period.
Once the Core senses the change, the Storm Alarm sounds and flashes,
letting you know that something unpleasant is fast approaching. The
built-in altimeter, meanwhile, displays your current elevation, shows
how much you've climbed or descended, and records your entire session
for later analysis. Accurate to within 30,000 feet, the altimeter is an
extremely valuable tool for mountaineering, backcountry skiing, and
wilderness travel. Add in such features as a barometer, a digital
thermometer, a weather trend indicator, and a digital compass and you
have a terrific wrist-top computer for almost all your outdoor needs.
The altimeter contributes to your excursion in several ways. If you're
standing on or near an obvious geographic feature, such as a ridge,
trail, or creek, the altimeter can alert you to your current elevation
and help you find your position on a topographic map. Similarly, if you
plan on climbing a slope to a certain elevation and then traversing, the
Core can help you stay on course. And as a bonus, the Suunto Core
includes a unique start-from-zero function, so you don't have to enter a
reference altitude. Instead, with the single push of a button, the
altimeter will begin tracking your ascent and descent.
