Slated for release this September, the Suunto Core Watch handles the outdoors with ease.

The watches can track weather conditions in amazing detail, including a barometer with storm alerts, temperature down to 1° of accuracy, and even graph historical weather trends. There’s a compass with digital bearing information so you’ll never get lost in the woods.

If you like to ascend heights, it’s got an altimeter, measuring how far you’ve traveled towards your goals, and can even log your climbing history. If you prefer to descend, it’s got a depth meter, that can measure up to 30 feet under water (the watches are water resistant to 100 feet, FYI.)

Oh yeah, this thing is an great watch too. It’s got a full calendar, dual time zone support, alarm clock and can figure out sunrise/sunset times too. It’s all presented on a cool high-tech liquid crystal display with electroluminescent backlighting.

The Suunto Core watches will be shipping in a variety of cool colors and styles, with my favorite being the Core Light Green. Pricing hasn’t been announced.
