new suunto buyer

[webmonkeyuk]

Im thinking of buying my first suunto but im not sure which one i fancy, im thinking of getting the Core in Black and orange or light black (these are the biggest face ones right?) but im also thinking of getting the Vector but i think if i got that one i would have it a while & then start to think "i should of got the core" . which one would you get if you were buying? And wheres the cheapest place to pick them up

What do you NEED? If you dont need the stepped up technology of the Core, the Vector can be had for less and is more than capable.

Actually, I like the looks of the Vector and the X lander better. They are kind of like the classic G's. Jsut something about a Vector that SCREAMS adventure to me!

Agree 100%. You can get a vector pretty cheap and they are tough watches. I wear one almost everyday and beat the heck out of it running, swimming, getting it sandy, etc. Don't have a core, but it doesn't look to be as tough... (I'm sure someone will PROMPTLY correct me...LOL). Just giving my 2 cents on the V.

HEY...

no, I think you are right.... I have both, PERSONALLY I prefer the looks and feel of the Vector I think. TO ME, the Vector feels a little more solid. (I think its that bezel on the Core).

Now, the X Lander... Tough. Good looking... ahhhhhh

I know, I HAD an X, but flipped it for something I thought I wanted... wish I had kept it, but I thought, at the time, that it was too big (and heavy) with all of the running that I do. I didn't like the strap either, although I've seen people change those out a lot lately..

[Jeff_C]

See now there you ARE wrong... LOL (kidding of course)...

I love the strap... which strap did your X have? My X and my Yachtsman have that kind of woven "fabric" with the leathery/rubbery backing. I really like them, but I admit, in warmer weather I tend to wear my Vector more... Or maybe this year my Core more! :)
