Suunto Core Altimeter: Accurate to 30,000 feet, the Suunto Core altimeter is a valuable tool for mountaineering, backcountry skiing and wilderness travel. It displays your current elevation, shows how much you’ve climbed or descended, and records your entire session for later analysis. You Suunto Core will become the best climbing partner you have ever had.
Suunto Core In the field: How high is this bluff? How high is my friend’s penthouse apartment? How high are you? These and other curiosities are answered with a simple turn of the wrist when you are wearing a Suunto Core. If you’re on or near an obvious feature (like a ridge, trail or creek), you can use your current elevation to find your position on a topographic map using the Suunto Core. If you plan on climbing a slope to a certain elevation and then traversing, the altimeter on the Suunto Core is an ideal tool for staying on course. You can also use elevation to gauge your progress. The Suunto Core displays elevation gained and lost between a given point (a trailhead or belay station) and your current position. Simplifying altimeter use, the Suunto Core includes a unique start-from-zero function that eliminates the need for entering a reference altitude. With the single push of a button, the Suunto Core altimeter will begin tracking your ascent and descent.
Suunto Core Barometer: A veritable weather station on your wrist, the Suunto Core barometer measures and records air pressure to help you predict changing conditions, from sunny skies to hair-bending electrical storms.
Suunto Core In the field: Soft shell or rain shell? Onward ho or high-tail it back to the car? And, more importantly, are the fish biting? These and other questions can be answered with a quick look at the Suunto Core barometer. In general, low pressure brings inclement weather, while high pressure brings stability and clear skies. If you’ve arrived at camp and notice the pressure starting to plunge, it’s probably a good idea to secure the tent and crawl in. Likewise, if you’re on a climb, it would be a prudent to find shelter or retreat. When you’re hiking in a canyon or dense forest without views of the horizon, a barometer can “see” into the distance, keeping you posted of changes in air pressure that can lead to ugly weather. Even at home, the Suunto Core barometer looks beyond office walls, skyscrapers and nearby hills to help you plan for upcoming activities. The Suunto Core Watch is an invaluable assets to have when your in the field.
