Amazon.com Product Description
The ultimate option for the outdoor enthusiast, the silver Suunto X-Lander wrist-top computer offers an accurate altimeter, a complete barometer, a precise electronic compass, and a multifunction sports watch in a single elegant package. Regardless of your excursion--whether it's climbing mountains, riding a muddy bike track, or skiing off piste--you need accurate, real-time information about your surroundings to pull off a successful trip. The X-Lander contributes by not only providing important data, but also keeping track of your activities so you can make rational decisions at key moments. In addition, the watch is user-friendly and solidly built, with a non-allergenic aluminum casing, a carbon-fiber back, a durable mineral crystal glass, and a water-resistant fabric strap. The built-in altimeter, which boasts a range of up to 29,500 feet, puts all 14 of the world's 8,000-plus-meter summits within the avid climber's range. Among the altimeter's functions are an altitude measurement function that lets you follow the vertical progress between stages, an automatic 24-hour memory that stores the altitude and ascent/decent rate for every hour, and an adjustable altitude alarm. Climbers will also dig the logbook function, which lets you record total and cumulative vertical ascents and descents as well as the number of runs skied. The X-Lander also displays the current barometric pressure and temperature--a must for activities in which weather plays a factor. The device automatically records barometric data for the previous four days, with the first six hours manifested in one-hour intervals and the rest in six-hour intervals. When the reference altitude is set correctly, the instrument also displays the present sea level pressure, which makes it easier to read and understand the barometric pressure at high altitudes. And few things are more important when exploring unfamiliar territory than a compass. The X-Lander's electronic compass contributes by guiding you with cardinal or half- cardinal points and a North-South arrow. The compass can also be set to track a certain bearing, which helps you follow a chosen direction. Meanwhile, the unit's declination adjustment function allows you to correct the difference between true North and magnetic North. In addition to the variety of outdoor functions, the X-Lander also displays normal time, with such add-ons as three daily alarms, a calendar programmed to the year 2089, a stopwatch with split-time measurement, and a countdown timer. Other features include a durable negative LCD display, a user-replaceable battery, and water-resistance to 100 feet. The X-Lander is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

ok watch July 9, 2008

so, this watch is great and the compass works good, i love the underwater buttons. but after a temp. of 110 degrees it starts to get tough to touch ur buttons. example...ur in iraq and its 135 degrees. if u push ur buttons they wont work, especially the mode buttons. well i understand this is hot, but if it says military then least have the buttons work right. the thermometer is pretty sweet when ur in the water. its right on.
Slightly disappointed June 3, 2008

When I received this watch there was already an issue with it. The two digit display at the top that shows the day (or other info depending on what mode your in) had a problem with the second digit. The two horizontal lines never turn off. "TU" for Tuesday is displayed as "T8".
Dispite this I just now returned it for warrenty repair. It is a great watch with amazingly accurate features. The compass works great. The temp works well, but you have to take it off your wrist to get an accurate reading. The altimeter is a little off, but what I expect in a watch. I wish the light worked as well as Timex's Indiglo but it doesn't.
It is a large watch and have heards comments about it, but it is still a lot lighter than any of my metal watches.
Overall a great, fun watch.
 After 4 years of use... May 25, 2008

PROS:
1. Awesome wrist-computer, tons of functions and very precise.
2. Looks great
3. For what you get it is a fair price
CONS:
1. It is not truly waterproof.
2. Beyond the basic functions the operation is very complex. Not intuitive.
3. With heavy use the case is prone to deformation and bruising because of the malleable nature of aluminum. This eventually affects the operations of the buttons.
I work as a naturalist guide in Costa Rica, and this watch has been with me for over four years, looking for wildlife in the rain forest. After a year or so water began to make its way into the watch, I do not expose it to rain unnecessarily anymore. For me this is it's biggest con.
Just be careful not to bang it as the aluminum can only take so much. Suunto still makes the best wrist computers in the market. With everything I have put it trough it is still running!
If I buy a Suunto again I will go for steel or titanium.
Top feature is WATER PROOF BUTTONS!!!!! May 17, 2008

I owned an X6 model that I loved and used for years...but had to return under warranty for repairs: 1) due to faulty circuit design flaw in original models, 2) then due to repeated failure from 'water intrusion'. Since I purchased through Eastern Mountain Sports, their 'Unconditional Satisfaction' return policy allowed me to replace failed X6s, um, three times. But, and reasonably so, after the 3rd failure, EMS said they would only give me credit toward a the Military version of the X-Lander or a final cash refund. Why the Military version of the X-Lander? Because it is the ONLY Suunto 'Wrist Computer' to feature the same button design as their dive computers. In other words....take any other type of Suunto watch into the wild and you risk losing all functions.
Let me be clear: I backpack, I hike, I mountain bike, and I sea kayak...all activities that expose you to water, be it ocean, lake, river, a down pour or three days of drizzle. I'm careful with my gear. But the non dive button models still crapped out. SUUNTO even says that their watches are 'Water RESISTANT' to certain depth...but if you press anything while exposed to water (and in my case, twice this was just being out in the mountains in the rain), you are at fault and Suunto will not handle any warranty work.
My advice is to buy the X-Lander Military version and learn to deal with its display and programming quirks.
And buy from shops that have an Unconditional Satisfaction return policy that extends for quite some time.
Sending a watch to Suunto USA for repair takes months and is expensive...and you can roll the dice to guess if they actually worked on your watch.
Why buy a Suunto? Their altimeter & barometer functions are spot on and far easier to calibrate. The watch senses your motion and will re-set between alt and baro functions so that you get an accurate reading (and an alarm) when you NEED one. Their compass function is also very, very accurate.
SUUNTO: get a clue and use DIVE BUTTON DESIGN on all of your wrist computers designed for actual use in the field and not as arm candy.
its ok April 24, 2008

hey,I bought this watch recently and it seems to be a pretty interesting watch. I was very disapointed that for the price I paid I didnt receive a receipt or any warranty information, just the watch and a box. didnt recieve directions with the watch or anything, I had to go online and get instructions on how to work the watch... very disapointed in the that. but overall a cool watch.
