Suunto has recently announced the successor to their highly popular X9i, the GPS enabled X10.
The Suunto X10 has enhanced GPS performance, which locates the position even faster than the X9i. The improved GPS also tracks better in difficult conditions, such as heavy foliage, for more trustworthy readings when you require it the most. And the bonus, this is not like the usual bulkier hand-held GPS units, the Suunto X10 is hands-free,tie it around your wrist and then focus on the action without worrying about dropping or losing your GPS. The Suunto X10 also records waypoints and routes, allowing users to analyze and catalog trips on a home PC.
The Suunto X10 includes an altimeter, barometer, digital compass, thermometer, and an extensive memory, as well as the usual time/stopwatch functions.
When you are navigating with the Suunto X10 on a preplanned route it can show you the direction you need to head and the estimated time of arrival, everything like a GPS tracker does. There is of course the obvious ‘find home’ preset which can lead the user back to the start point or marked ‘Home’. In addition you can also ‘track back’ function which can guide you back along any recorded route. In short, a complete GPS tracker all on your wrist.
Suunto X10 offers a battery life that is 33% longer than that of X9i and it has its own USB charger which can also be used to transfer data.
It will be available in two colors.
