Suunto Core

Long time no see, but posting again

Visited New York last month and purchased this beauty:



It's whopping ~50mm diameter alloy case is basically holding more outdoor computer inside it than watch, but has also nice GMT functionality on that side :) Also alloy bracelet followed in package, although haven't tried it on yet (plus the brown leather looks quite okay ) Under the crystal are very strap-matching brown digital characters.

Earlier this week I visited local dealer to see Seamaster PO 45mm again, this made it to look too small..

Suunto is one of the preferred watches of members of the military and you you can see why from this example.
