Good evening, I've recently had to retire my Suunto Core (My old Vector, which was used as a back up, recently gave up the ghost as well). I've loved both of these watches and am considering another Core. However, someone pointed out the Garmin Instict to me and I must admit I like the look of it.
I'm after something that will give me altitude (barometric rather than GPS), rate of climb/descent and it should be able to show me the time However I note thatit has heaps of other features such as tracking routes, HRM and hook up to phone stuff (Calendar, texts, social media etc).
It's general use would be summer walks/hikes, occasional Alpine hikes, winter hikes (Starting my WML journey this winter), occasional cold water swims and office use. I also run, twice or three times per week, including orienteering and trail running.
Should I just stick with the Core or look towards the Instinct?
Many thanks
