Suunto X10 GPS Watch

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I have tried my best to extract this video from somewhere else. Click HD for best view. X10 or X10 Military? Its a question we are seeing a lot! There really are minimal differences between the X10 and its military counterpart apart from the obvious styling – the X10M sports an all black facial. The military version also features a red backlight and compass in degrees of mils units A lesser know difference is that the GPS funtion of the X10M can be set to use the MGRS system (Millitary Grid Reference System): The MGRS system was designed to simplify the specification of position and passing of coordinates for soldiers and marines. The MGRS system allows users to abbreviate the 13-digit UTM coordinate, making it easier to use. We have not found any immediate advantage here – unless of course you are calling the US army out to rescue you, they may find you a little faster! If you really want to buy Suunto X10, have a look at its instruction manual first, at media.suunto.com Have a look at its forum, forum.suuntowatches.com Suunto is going to announce its new watch on 26 May 2009. So think of it before you do any purchase. I would really appreciate if Suunto makes adventure watches which really suit for adventure gadgeteers which may require these features:(I prepared this for a long time, made extensive research, hope to get considered) 1. Wireless pc-watch/ watch-watch connectivity(ANT) 2. Weather station/ forecaster(humidity hygrometer) 3. Walkie talkie(eg WRL-00560 …

Yeah, 6 hours usable GPS. But can you use GPS while charging the watch? If can, how do you do it?

I have this watch. 6 hr battery life on 1sec refresh to satellite really sucks. I built a homemade USB battery charging pack for it. Worked well in Afghanistan with solar panel recharge.
