Wasn’t a brand new watch
I love the watch and have done a lot of research on it prior to buying! Things I didn’t like it came with a old dirty rag and rather band holder and the glass was all finger printed up! I was under the watch would be brand new in the box never opened due to the item description! This is not the case at all it has been opened and messed with prior to me getting it this is very easy to tell due to it not having any wrapping along with the rag of a glove and the finger prints on it at this! I see any physical discrepancies or function errors I just thought it would be Brand New hence Buy New
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Released in 2016, but still revelant.
Reviewed in Singapore on October 7, 2020
I bought this watch for hunting and Hiking, maybe fishing some time in the future. There isn't a real alternative in this category. I love that the backlight is red, and there is a Torch mode that turns on White Backlight on the watch for an easy immediate torchlight. But other that that, the new mobile App (only on phone, no PC, unless tablet) doesn't integrate the Points of Interest (POI) captured to expand upon.

Suunto moved away from their Movescount , to a mobile app that installs on Android or iPhone. This new app is tailored to Sports, and less for Fishing/ Hunting or Hunting, which is what this watch is designed for.
