Three alarms.Stopwatch.Dual time (with good multi-time zone support).Rechargeable Li-Ion battery, good for about 500 charge cycles.Bitmapped high-res display with electroluminescent backlight.Waterproof to 100m or about 330 feet (but see below for more on this).Tough resin/plastic case with scratch-resistant mineral crystal.Integrated plastic strap with metal teeth, vented for warmer climates.At 52mm by Replica Cartier Roadster WE5002X2 Ladies Watch 16mm, all this is packed into a watch only slightly larger than the average Suunto. With integrated band and plastic case, the watch is lightweight and comfortable to wear. Its noticeably smaller than some of its competition, and the addition of GPS has been done tactfullyif you didnt recognize the watch, you wouldnt know it was a GPS.
Suunto describes the X9i as a wrist top computer, and theyre not kidding. Plan on spending some quality time with the manual before hitting the trails.The GPS portion of the X9i is definitely the marquee feature, so lets dive into that first. Modes and features include:Find Home. Mark a position as home, and this features easily gives you a vector back to it. Useful in a wide variety of settings, from hiking to Replica Cartier Santos 100 W20073X8 Mens Watch flying and exploring.Track back. Similar to find home, but in this case, youre trying to follow your same route back.Activity mode. Tracks speed and distance.Time calibration. You can also use the GPS to set the watches time for super-accurate timekeeping. Atomic watches, take notice!Navigation mode.
Use waypoints and routes as downloaded from the computer to follow a route.Each time you use the GPS, you can have it log data into internal memory for later downloading. This is then displayed in either the Suunto Trek Manager Replica Cartier Santos W20012C4 Ladies Watch software, or on Google Earth.The GPS, interestingly, cannot display raw latitude and longitude. For all its other features and capabilities, for some reason, no raw coordinates. Strange. Update (9/28/07): Weve just been informed by Suunto that the X9i can display raw latitude and longitude information. If you go to the Function menu (long press on the middle right-hand enter button), you can select Position which enables viewing coordinates. Since this is a less frequently used feature, it is not the default, and is somewhat hidden.
