Given how often people on here talk about watches (and how people have helped me in the past with FTTC routers, etc) I thought I would throw _another_ question out to the masses… Suunto watches.
I currently sport a 16 quid Timex Iroman digital and, whilst it is a perfectly acceptable watch I fancy something a little bit more professional when I am trotting round moors and hills. However, in a lot of situations, wearing a GPS watch is frowned on and likely to get me shouted at and then don’t typically have batter life more than a day.
The Suunto X-Lander and Core both seem to be aimed pretty much at the market I am in, so I was wondering if anyone here had much experience with them as both watches and as a means of quick bearing checking/mountain weather/gucci kit. Basically, if it doesn’t keep decent time or give advance warning of rubbish weather, that sort of thing, then it’s not really worth it.
Any feedback appreciated.
