"Received the x10 as a replacement for an x9i I had bought. The x9i would take almost 20 minutes to get a fix and would promptly lose the fix once I entered the treeline. The x10 was touted by Suunto as addressing these issues. Unfortunately, while the x10 does get a faster fix, it too suffers from issues with tree interference."

"I love my Suunto X10. I bought it because on my annual hike of about 400 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail last year, I had to be rescued. Rescue was delayed several hours while they figured out where in Oregon to find me. Detailed info from the PCT guidebook was not enough."

"I have been researching this watch since the X9i (first model). I guess I expected too much.

The first watch that I had was sent back because the barometer went out as well as the face steaming up. All I exposed it to was a car wash and normal shower."

"Really good product. Only hitch is that the gps received is very sensitive so easily block by the tree. Good precision though. Great for trip and expedition. Has a compass that works without the gps so need least battery.

Small operating time on the GPS mode only about 8 hours in sec mode that give a better speed average."
