SUUNTO ''CORE'' Dating

[Forest fella]

Anyone know if there's a way to Roughly identify the date of manufacture of a Suunto Core all black watch? as I was lucky enough to buy 1 recently 2nd hand.
As I've tried contacting them directly and no luck as of yet.
I've had a google
Cheers

According to google "The manufacturing date of a Suunto device can be found in the device's 12-character serial number. The first two digits of the serial number indicate the year, and the following two digits indicate the week of the year when the device was manufactured. "

Mine is 1543 which seems to match my own manuf and purchasing date.

It's on the caseback near the lugs to stop it being abraded away

Thanks Chainsaw,
I bought an Ambit Peak 3 secondhand to try some of this new tech stuff. I've managed to register it and get the 2018 update, but there will be no further updates on this model/age.
(using your advice mine is 2014, week 35 which was about the end of August)

I haven't yet managed to puzzle out how to log a route etc with it yet, but have downloaded the manual, and still trying. I've also got the heart rate monitor accessory.

Ok thanks, believe it or not they got back to me about half 4 and they told me that mine was from 2018 so I had a bargain.

Thanks for your input
