Suunto Core packed with tech for outdoors

by Dave Phillips

Suunto is perhaps one of the most technically advanced sports watch companies in the marketplace today. They have some serious technology packed into these stylish watches.

The latest is the Suunto Core, which comes in a variety of colors and styles to please the fashion conscious. This new watch comes packed with features that keep you informed out on the ski slopes or trail. It comes with an accurate altimeter, barometer, digital thermometer, weather trend indicator and a digital compass.

The pressure gauge operates in four distinct modes, including an automatic setting that senses your movement or lack thereof, switching between altimeter and barometer accordingly. The compass features a rotating bezel for traditional use, or a one-touch function that allows you to sight, lock and follow a bearing. Daily functions include dual time, date, alarm, sports chronograph and predicted times for sunrise and sunset.

So if your looking for something for the outdoorsman in the family look no further--this watch needs to be on the Xmas list.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
