I got nothing anymore... this is clearly spiraling out of control. Even I can no longer stand behind the build quality..

So here is my suggestion. I am seeing less issues with the Aluminum and steel cores. Don't know why, maybe that there are simply less of them and therefore report less problems.

Second, another person has stated that he traded in his core for a X-lander after sending in at least three for repair. That might be the best suggestion that I can give you. Best bet is to contact Suunto USA and and discuss your options with them..
