Suunto X10 GPS Watch

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 Core Review

!±8± Suunto Core Review

First off, I spend pretty much all day looking at watches so I have grown to appreciate watches that meet expectations in terms of both form and function.  I am really no stranger to the Suunto Watch line up as I have had a Suunto Vector for years and it served me well while I was in the military.  So when I learned that I was going to be one of the first people to give the new Core a spin I was excited to check out the latest addition to the Suunto product offering.

The Suunto Core comes with everything that we all have come to expect from Suunto.  It has a solid list of features as well a very stylish a durable new shell.  Some of the features included in the Suunto Core are log book, compass, timer, depth meter, weather indicator plus much much more.  We put the Suunto Core through its paces in the field and we were impressed by the accuracy of the altimeter as well as the integrated logbook entries.  I had never used a watch with the storm check feature but after wearing the watch for a few days I can see how this could be an invaluable tool while navigating through the backcountry.  The Suunto Core has so many features you must plan of spending some time to review it but don't be scared as I would consider this watch to be usable right out of the box. I was also very impressed how light this watch is for being so feature packed.

At the end of the day Suunto has been setting the standard for outdoor watches for years and the Suunto Core is no different.  It is functionality solid, looks great with the approaching storm alerts this watch is serious piece outdoor equipment that no one should go without.  If you are considering a boiler plate altimeter watch you should diffidently check out the upgraded feature set of the Suunto Core.
