Suunto’s New Core 2 Smartwatch Can Warn You About Incoming Storms

🚀 New Launches

The Suunto Core 2 adds Bluetooth to an existing barometric storm alarm. The real upgrade is connectivity: you can sync the watch with your phone for notifications and configuration instead of it running offline.

Marty’s Take:

Storm alerts sound impressive, but barometric pressure trend warnings are already standard on most ABC watches, including older Suunto models. What’s new is the promise of gaining features later, not now. Before buying the Suunto Core 2 on that promise, check whether Suunto’s update track record backs it up, and weigh it against proven all-rounders in our best fitness tracker roundup.
