+kbootb Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 This watch has everything including GPS and compass. Suunto X9 So now you can hunt the urban micros without looking (too) odd. Quote Link to comment
+CuplaKiwis Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 (edited) ...had a hard enough time convincing my girlfriend (now wife!) to let me get my Suunto Vector!! Don't think she'll let me upgrade for, oh another 20 years or so!! I have however had a wee play with one of these, and can exclusively report that it is very very cool I do not need one, I do not need one, I do not need one, I do not.....

Sparticus Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Little bit pricey at £500. A decent watch with the same functions, witout gps, you can get for around £100. Yellow etrek £100 approx. Total £200. A massive saving of around £300. I must say though, I do like gadgets and if I had the money spare I'd probably get one. Don't know how I'd explain it to the wife though.

+McDeHack Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Nice bit of kit. My reason for not getting one is that I can't tell the time. Etrex for £100? You have been turned over mate. £60 lots of places nowdays. (Ebay) Quote Link to comment
Sparticus Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Etrex for £100? You have been turned over mate. £60 lots of places nowdays. (Ebay) Just making a point. Gps can be picked up for next to nothing these days. Saw an etrek sell for £45. I've got a gpsr so I couldn't justify spending MORE money on geocaching. My wife wouldn't let me. And before you say anything, yes, I am under the thumb. Quote Link to comment
+Hampk Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 1m resolution on the GPS? Ok, what does it know that the rest of the manufacturers don't..! Oh, and the battery is internal, lasts 4-5 hours per recharge, and has a lifetime of 500 cycles.. and you can only have it changed by a Suunto dealer.. Hmmm Quote Link to comment
