I just picked up the new Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR for $239.97 with free delivery. It’s the best price I have seen by far on this watch. They also have the Spartan Sport Wrist HR for $419.97.
I grabbed the Trainer as it’s been getting great reviews, and it’s normally $399

I can't comment on the other Suunto models, but the Core Red (which is just the Core model with red markings on the bezel, lol) suffers from the common issue of the light button remaining pressed in, and draining the battery.
Suunto have since fixed this; I had to ship mine to Hong Kong under warranty, but they will only swap out the time piece, and put the original straps back on.
The original rubberised straps are crap, and only lasted a few months with me. After trying various other types, found an excellent seller on eBay called JaysandKays, who makes decent Suunto straps (I picked up the Bell and Ross version). I've had mine for nearly a year, and not even any signs of wear.
