Thanks. Im thinking of the Garmin too. Currently have a suunto of previous gen to yours so could have been a cheap upgrade... Not convinced tho. Sorry mate.
hey @Northern Monkey,
why the change to Garmin?? was seriously toying with changing (from garmin) to a Suunto a month or so ago.
- just curious as decided to stick with what i knew and got a new Garmin in the end though.
I looked at getting the suunto spartan but the garmin fenix had a few more features that I’d use and the battery life is better on the garmin so plumbed for that.
Really happy with it up to now
Not answering your post but am also in the process of upgrading from the core,been a great watch for me for last 10yrs... seen many countries etc.
What to go to next I am not sure.. garmin looks good but the Suunto has been faultless(apart from 2 strap replacemnts).. maybe the Baro 9?.
Yeah the baro 9 does look a good shout, I can’t fault my suunto core as you the strap went a couple of times.
Got a good deal on the garmin time will tell.
I've had a suunto for longer than I care to remember, when I was checking out objects to jump off! It's light and easy to read in a tight spot. The prob with the Garmin and now the new suunto is the size and weight for my skinny-arsed wrists. Can't wear my Casio dive watch for the same reason, just too damned heavy.
