Question 1

Has anyone had problems with Suunto not honoring warranties for those who purchased the Suunto core from amazon.com?

Accepted Answer

I purchased my Suunto Core Watch On Amazon actually it was my second purchase of a Suunto Core Watch on Amazon.My son graduated from the police academy and I gave him a Suunto Core watch as a graduation present.  Shortly after wards,  The watch over time aapx 4 Months and  was depleting the battery slowly and required frequent replacements. Just recently I filed a service request with Suunto   Serial Number R20210602465923-1	   Ticket # 1732600769 Suunto Claimed , I had fried the Motherboard  of the watch during a simple battery replacement. That is highly unlikely, I am a Controls Technician who works with Robotics. Particularly  ABB Robots the maintenance and programming  of  Robots and PLC'S ( Pro Logic Controllers)  that run these robotics and help to Diagnose them in real time. I am also a former Avionics  tech with Lockheed Martin. Working on Military Aircraft and Missile systems.  I am a former Avionics tech with the United States Marine Corps  Airwing ( VMFA 332) A licensed HVAC tech and hold a Massachusetts Hoisting engineers license.  I am very capable of replacing a CR2032 battery in a watch. If in fact as stated. The watch would never had worked over a four month period before the battery was completed depleted.  . A more likely scenario,  is one of the components on the motherboard.   Was faulty and during Suunto's initial assembly or one of their techs created an ESD ( electro static discharge ) during assembly.  The faulty component worked and passed their bench testing / QC test. However , The faulty component was working as expected however, it was  bleeding current and that was never caught. I purchased this watch from Amazon and the defective component  over time became apparent. Suunto claimed they would give me a $34 credit towards the purchase of a new watch and refused to stand behind its product. Keep in mind I have purchased a total of 3  Suunto Core Watches and have installed CR2032 Batteries in all 3  watches. None as frequent as in the case of this particular watch.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

As far as I know, no, A B C, altimeter, barometric, compass. I was debating on this watch vs. a GPS watch, but I wouldn't use the GPS watch as much.  I hope this helps
