Horrible pricing!
Just some thoughts on the pricing of the
Suunto Core watches! Considering the fact that all the 6 models have exactly same functionality the only difference is in the material of the case and
band I think the $350 span is quite wide… (if it would be a titanium case and
band it would at least make sense, but $350 more for steel?)
The two models I initially looked at were the Light Green $249.99 and Light Black $349.99 but after playing around with both watches in the store I decided to buy a different brand for much less. What surprised me was the questionable quality of the watches bezel and
bands. The bezel on the Light Green did not rotate at all - it was stuck(!) and all the other watches had very lose bezels that almost felt they would come off any minute. Also comparing the Light Green and the Light Black I still don’t understand why the Light Black is $100 more - They are both plastic watches and although the
band on the Green is horrible it does not justify the huge price difference.
250 would be a fair price for any of the models, maybe 100 bucks more for an aluminum or steel one would make sense but to have such a wide gap for the same product just doesn't make any sense to me.
Any thoughts or comments?
