I understand your frustration. I'm just an owner of a Core, a X9iM, one X-Lander, one M3, one Regatta, Mariner, one Yachtsman, one Advizor, six Vectors, a T3 and a T6cand I bought aone Lumi for my girl. I love all of my Suunto watches and I like my Core too. The first one was send back after 4 month and one week later I reived a new one which works fine. Its a great looking watch and once it becomes as reliable as all the other which have never failed my, my 100% trust in SUUNTO will be restored.
I agree that a company which is so proud of their products must do better than they did recently with the Core (and the lame update of the X9i aka X10...but that's another story). Lets wait how this new batch is working (mine seems to be an updated version) and what the new watch will be alike (26th of May we'll know I guess).
Cheers...
