This is the second X Lander I have owned. The first was the standard model with a leather band. I had to replaced it due to theft. I tried the new black back light model. While I like the rubber watch band better than the leather band of the original model, it takes some getting use to because of the detent that seats the band as it crosses over to attach. The watch does everything that the ads say it will do. The menu interface is complicated and several layers deep, but the major functions are easy to find and use. Altitude and compass are the two features I use most. I must confess I do not use any of the altitude change monitoring features. The only criticism I have is that I like the original night back light style better. I find the original display easier to read when the back light button is pressed. Due to the reverse display of this model, it is more difficult to read at night. I do like the display better in day light. It is buyer's choice. Other notable features are the easy access and replacement battery compartment inside of the back of the watch. I also like the display feature of the history of change in barometric pressure. The two segment chart is very easy to see at a glance. This great to predict change in weather when sea kayaking. Just be aware that if you purchase this model you must calibrate the compass. I do not have any experience with other wrist watches with similar features. So as to a comparison of value and ease of use I have experience.Read full review
I bought the Suunto SS012926110 for when my wife and I go camping during the summer. This watch has a lot of nice features. But I must say it pays to study the manual so you won't have to take it with you. After you go thru all the features on this watch several times it should become second nature to go back to them. this would include calibrating the compass, or checking your elevation from your last position and other features as well. Also note the temperature on the watch is only accurate when you are NOT wearing the watch. The watch will pick up your body temperature when you are wearing it. All in all it is a great watch that can be very useful IF you know how to use it.
Watch looks great. Waiting on wrist band.
