I was just browsing the watch counter at REI when the girlfriend surprised me by whipping out her credit card and buying me a new Core. Regular readers know the story about my previous Suunto and how it imploded at 14,000 feet – a problem which I may have triggered when changing the battery before the climb. Hopefully, that won’t happen again. I’m eager to give it another try at altitude (hopefully somewhere just over 14,000 feet) in just a couple of weeks.
