First, yes it is a real Fenix 5X. I love the way it looks and it is a monster of information to provide you on your workouts.  What they don't tell you is that it might come from a different region; for instance the Garmin they sent me was an Asian region watch so I didn't have any US Maps preloaded like I thought I would.

Important Information Before You Buy!!

I just picked one up at 50% off ($250AUD) and I really feel that it was worth the money spent. I also own a Garmin Fenix 5+, Fossil Gen 4, polar m600, and my fiance has an Apple watch SE. I cycle, swim, do the occasional kayak and hike. If you want a sports focussed watch with smart watch features, and you can get it at a good price I think it's worthwhile

The Samsung watch 4 just hasn't caught my interest, and I doubt there's going to be another good sports focussed wearOS watch until late next year.

I loved my Garmin for its fitness features however the smart features are not great, and smart features are important to me. Navigating through the various screens and functions is slow and clunky and not as efficient as a touch screen/button combo. I love how the Suunto 7 has 4 buttons as well as touchscreen. If Garmin up their game in relation to smart features and a touch screen I'd quite easily go back but I don't think they will.

Bottom line, if you can get the Suunto 7 at a good price I say worth it, but not at full price.

If you've ever had a common sporttester (Suunto, Garmin, Polar) and you want its functions in smartwatch you're gonna love Suunto 7. Sport functions on all smartwatches are really poor. Killer feature are maps if you often run on unknown trails. I hate Garmin UX in watch and app . I think Suunto did it more user friendly.

Look, i know there are a lot of Suunto fans here and I'm sure it's a decent watch but if it was me, i wouldn't spend even 50 euro on a watch not elegible for the new OS. Reason being app support could drop at any point, just like Strava did. If you mainly want health tracking, I'd urge you to spend those 200 euro on a Galaxy Watch 4, I actually bought one at Euronics in Napoli for 200 euro.

Hi guys,

I just received an amazon gift card and I would like to change my Garmin vivoactive 3 since after 3 years it is starting to lose stamina.

On [Amazon.it](https://Amazon.it), there is an used Suunto 7 (rated as very good) directly sold by amazon (I guess it is a returned device?) for 200 euros. I know that it won't be getting the new OS but the only thing I am really looking for is the support for YT music to stream music from my watch while running.

First of all, can someone confirm that this feature will come to this watch despite the older OS release?

Moreover, coming back to the original question of this post: would you still recommend it?

Thanks!

Is the Suunto 7 still worth it?

 In addition, I receive low battery warnings in the same way. The battery life isn’t the best when in full GPS track mode, but I can get a full day of tracking with about 1/4 of the battery left. This is not a problem on multiple day climbs using an external battery or solar charger. I’m amazed how fast it charges!  To conclude, this watch is a beast! If you want a GPS/fitness watch on steroids this is it

. DON'T BUY IF YOU WANT ACCURACY! UPDATE 8/27/17 - Watch connects and disconnects randomly with PC. Read the reviews with the same issue UPDATE 8/19/18 - Battery Life is now insanely poor running a course and usual functions. Started the day at 98% and ended half-day at 6%

 Read the reviews with the same issue UPDATE 8/19/18 - Battery Life is now insanely poor running a course and usual functions. Started the day at 98% and ended half-day at 6%. Seriously? The new update has definitely compromised battery life.

DON'T BUY IF YOU WANT ALTIMETER ACCURACY AND ALL DAY BATTERY LIFE!

 I turn OFF the wrist heart-rate monitor while not climbing during long activities to: a) Reduce Battery drain from illuminated wrist LEDs. b) Not track low effort heart-rate activities during long hikes in/out of climb.  2. ALTIMETER and Ascent/Descent metrics had accuracy issues out-of-the-box, especially in mountain terrain

 See the TIPS section at the end of this review for ways to improve the accuracy of these metrics.  ---------- BACKGROUND ---------- This is the fifth Garmin wearable device I've used (my first 3 were FR610s, my forth F5, and fifth F5S). I was originally going to purchase a Fenix 5 (F5) when someone who was having accuracy issues asked me if I would like to try it out. While I liked the F5, my thinking evolved as follows: 1) I noticed May-June F5 devices had un-explainable Altimeter accuracy issues

  Another pleasant surprise was Garmin Connect IQ (which is the Garmin app store). Connect IQ includes many useful additional apps, widgets, watch-faces. For example, there's a Weather Underground widget that lets your obtain localized Temperature, Wind, Humidity, Precipitation for the closest WU weather station near you. The WU Weather widget is especially useful for those of you who adventure in remote areas, since the standard Weather Connect IQ app from Garmin only provides weather information for major cities (which is not useful in mountain wilderness areas)

  I quickly learned how to customize the display of altimeter, elapsed time, distance, lap, heart-rate, sunrise-sunset, moon rise/set/phase, and GPS info. These are all useful features for mountain wilderness climbing activity. Out of the box these watches allow customization of up to 4 fields per screen. For example, for hiking in mountainous terrain I setup one screen with: Elapsed Time, Distance, Elevation, and Heart-Rate

Hike/Climb Altimeter Accuracy update

 This watch is by far a better build quality and although it's not a bright, OLED, touchscreen like other watches, it is more than what I expected.  This is a fully-featured watch and to summarize the quality, this is what the standard should be for military-grade products.  I've had the Apple Watch (Series 3 & 4), the Garmin Fenix 5S, and the Fitbit HR, and this watch wins out because it is highly focused on training, but is more reliable than any other option when it comes to notifications.  Give this one a shot

 It's worth it and now comes at a great price. I wish I would have purchased this one first, before wasting my time with the other options.  (I use this watch for strength training, running, yoga, and cycling. So my review is biased by it needing to track and reflect those training sessions, most accurately

I tried a few options before landing on the 5X and I'm glad I didn't settle.

The award-winning Suunto Core comes in a range of stylish design options, packing easy-to-use outdoor functions in a robust construction. Combining an altimeter, barometer and compass with weather information, Suunto Core provides the essential features for adventures in the great outdoors. Designed to bring out the explorer in you.

OutdoorGearLab

The Suunto Core Alu is a classic ABC watch designed to get the basics right. It tracks total ascent and descent and offers both barometer and altimeter graphs, a compass, and a reliable, long-lasting battery. You won't be worried if you take this on a multi-day or even a multi-month mission. 
It's not filled with as many features as the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus and doesn't include a GPS. We also wish that the altitude and barometer graphs were a little sleeker. If you are looking for something a little more affordable, opt for the traditional Core, which costs a lot less. Despite its drawbacks, we figure that an altimeter watch should do one thing well—measure altitude—and that's something the Core Alu does.  

Switchback Travel

The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar above is a modern sports watch complete with GPS support and smart features, but not everyone needs such a complex design (or wants to pay for it). For the best in ABC functionality without additional bells and whistles, it doesn’t get much better than the Suunto Core. Priced at $250, the Core offers top-notch accuracy with a premium barometric altimeter and packs in an impressive lineup of features, including sunset and sunrise times for more than 400 locations, alerts of changing pressure or disappearing daylight, and a seven-day altitude log for hikers. Tack on a sleek minimalist design and a wide variety of optional colors, and the Suunto Core is a true everyday multifunction watch.

The Suunto Core has been on the market for a number of years, and in that time users have seen a couple issues crop up. First, the band doesn’t always hold up well under heavy use, and a replacement piece will run you around $61 (or cheaper for a knock-off). Second, despite the large screen, some find the black background and white text difficult to read in sunlight. And finally, the Core is far from the cheapest option here—you can save money with watches like the Pro Trek PRG-270 and Lad Weather Master Sensor below, and even the GPS-equipped COROS Pace 2 is more affordable at $200. But for the best combination of quality, functionality, and durability, the Suunto Core is our favorite non-GPS altimeter watch of the year.See the Suunto Core

 The Amazon.com main image might have you think the display is a purple hue, but it is gray at all angles.  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch

 The watch needs to be removed for an accurate reading. • A tad bulky on thin wrists (not really a con, just worthy of noting for those who have smaller wrists) • Alti/Baro log review is limited by style of display. If this is a critical feature to you, I'd consider GPS watches • You can only set a single alarm. This is also such a huge oversight

  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch.

Attractive, functional watch – with needed improvements. Please rate, if helpful.

 At added cost, I would love to see a fortified solar version with a reserve and a backup battery. Water resistance is decent, but no where near my Casio Mudman 9300, which was half the price and put up with a LOT more abuse. Granted, the Mudman does not have an alti/baro function, but for me those are more of a want vs. need

I was hoping to love this, but a few things bother me. The good: comfortable to wear, accurate instruments for a watch, sleek look, intuitive menus (subjective) The bad: battery life, prone to scratches/damage if used for its' intended outdoor purpose, fairly dim display even when backlit. At added cost, I would love to see a fortified solar version with a reserve and a backup battery.

Good watch with some shortcomings.

 Plus I go swimming daily in the in-ground pool with the watch on without issue. The band is holding up good as new, the face of the watch has no scratches, and all of the buttons work perfectly. After three months of everyday use I have zero complaints about the watch. Glad I bought it

I've been wearing this watch for three months now. It works exactly as advertised to this point. I live in Florida and like to keep an eye on the weather when outside. The barometer function mirrors my home weather station closely

Excellent Watch

 The altimeter is a bit complicated and requires input to calibrate on a regular basis. Temperature appears to be biased by being on your arm and is not ambient. These are no big deals for me, i am enjoying the watch, and it is very comfortable to wear.
