Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Look for something else
I have owned this watch for two years. I have read the manual and tried the PC software. Neither are clear. I own several GPS receivers and watches. I regret trying to get this watch to do both. The battery goes dead very quickly and was replaced at the factory at my expense. The water resistance is now gone so it is in the shop again. It failed me in a mild rain.

The GPS is always slow to aquire a signal strong enough to mark a point or navigate by. All the time it spends trying figure ... Read More

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Poor GPS reception hampers functionality
Received this watch last week. Thought it would be nice to have all this functionality in a watch.

I have over 14 years experience with GPS systems.This one is perhaps the least stable I have ever used including the older sequencing receivers. Since it will not hold lock even in an open flat area unless held level and away from your body, you can't very well move about with it strapped to your wrist and get any usable data. In a car - forget it.I let it acquire and load the ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Acceptable!
I'm in the military and purchased this watch mainly for Land Navigation. When switched to MGRS this watch performed above my expectations. While in the desert the watch performed outstanding and outfited my squad with a ten digit grid. I love this watch mainly for military use the only downfall to me is the battery life.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not Quite Up to Quality Standards Expected of Suunto
I am a proud owner of the X-Lander and in hindsite wish I'd gotten another one when it finally gave it up at just over eight years of exceptionally hard use in a military environment.The GPS functionality and some of the other features in the X9i intrigued me however and I took the plunge despite some of the warnings and foreboding reviews regarding poor GPS signal lock, battery life, and faceplate delamination.

Thus far, I've experienced no problems with the GPS or the battery--yes, it ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not up to snuff
I ordered the X9i on the recommendation of a friend.
Boy was I disappointed...the manuals and instructions were unclear and badly organised in trying to find topics.
I never could get the GPS tracking properly and I found the Military version hard to read in different situations.
If you are slightly ancient you will find the dial hard to read and the buttons not user friendly.
I also would be given the incorrect time on numerous occasions and tried resetting a number of times..never ... Read More
