    I recently bought the all black one from here and its a cracker. Much more comfortable than my previious casio equivalent. Much better looking too.

    Good review.

    I owned a Suunto Vector but went over to a Casio Protrek PRG-40. I then considered the Suunto Core for several months, but opted to stay with Protrek. Ive since bought a PRG-240, which ive been very happy with.

    I find it a lot smaller "feeling" and looking than my last Protrek PRG-50. Horses for courses.

    I'm going to be changing the battery soon as several people have said they had issues after this. I'll let you know how I get on.

    I have had the core for two years. Not completely happy with this watch. It eats batteries. The contrast on the black display is terrible. And the LCD stops working at -10. But it's a nice toy. Barometer is accurate compass is not.
