How to Set the Suunto Core

The Suunto Core is a multi-functional, digital wrist watch that is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. In addition to telling the time and date, it measures the temperature, barometric pressure and altitude, which can aid in predicting weather changes. A digital compass is also a standard feature on the watch. Before you begin using the device, you need to set the correct time and date for your location. The watch also allows you to set the time for one additional location.
