- 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.

- 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 does suck a lot of power when in GPS mode and requires more frequent charging but it hasn't been unmanageable and when used merely for jogging and time keeping functions when at home station, it has been a reasonably solid performer. The faceplate did delaminate within the first two weeks of ownership as warned however and disappointed me in the quality I would expect for such an expensive timepiece.

- 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 did figure that out.
After a day I returned the product and am still awaiting the refund.
I ended up with a Garmin 60CSx and am so happy Io made the switch.
Having a wristwatch GPS sounded like a good idea but having now my handheld I think the larger color screen and easier controls and instructions makes it a much better buy in my opinion.

- Comparison: Suunto X9i vs. Garmin Forerunner 405
After two weeks of side-by-side usage, I've concluded that these watches are targeted at very different markets. Furthermore, in many respects, it seems like neither watch is totally ready for prime-time. Both have nice feature sets, but they each seem to be lacking some very important features to make them truly useful across several sports. The Suunto X9i seems to be targeted and more useful to the climbing crowd, whereas the Garmin Forerunner 405 seems targeted at the fitness/jogging crowd. Neither has the complete feature set that the above-average hiker/trail runner/mountain biker needs. Thus, if you purchase either, you have to accept the compromises inherit in one or the other.
If I was pressed to recommend one over the other, I very hesitantly lean towards the Garmin Forerunner 405 due to smaller size, better battery life, faster GPS synch, slightly better navigation screen and of course, lower price. ... Read More
