Suunto X10 Tracks More Than Just The Time

Every new outdoor watch seems to amaze buyers. Sure some of the specifications may already be popular, but there’s always some unique feature that makes the product stand out. In this case with Suunto’s new upgrade, GPS is the new craze.

As the enhanced version of the Suunto X9i, the X10 features improved tracking, faster performance and a longer battery life. The upgraded GPS feature now lets users locate their positions faster, especially in extreme conditions. Along with being hands-free, the X10 also records waypoints, routes and can analyze and catalog trips on a computer at home.

The GPS features may be dominant, but the Suunto product is also full of other neat specs to keep the outdoor adventurers occupied and well-equipped, like:

- An altimeter

- A barometer

- A digital compass

- A thermometer

- Extensive memory.

- Basic time/stopwatch functions

Since it’s also compatible with several digital-mapping services from across the world, the Suunto X10 isn’t any ordinary watch. Instead it’s basically a portable outdoor computer that’s very user-friendly and can fit on your wrist. In the end, the X10 is the perfect companion for any modern adventurer.

Suunto GPS watch

Suunto watches are great for travelers especially those who cherish the outdoors. These watches are multi-functional as they not only provide GPS but are also feature-filled. I found the SUUNTO X9Mi Military GPS computer watch at http://www.pressdigital.com.au/ and I was impressed with the features. Imagine a GPS watch that is equipped with an altimeter, compass, barometer and a chronograph. Everything a sportsman needs is in this one compact watch. I was just wondering if the tag price is bank breaking considering its features?

The X10 does its job great!

The X10 does its job great! In comparison to x9i, x10: 1) locks to satellites a lot faster - seconds, rather than minutes; 2) keeps track of the satellites lot better - normally 4 bars, when x9i would do 1, max 2 bars - that is x10 locks to 7 of 8 satellites. I did 200 miles without single loss of satellites!!! Even the handheld Garmins fight for the same results. 3) in dense vegitation, forest x10 does lot better; 4) battery life of x10 is significantly improved! Yes, it still lacks good software but it is something that you can manage! I found out a lot about this great device here http://www.suuntox10.com
