Amazon.com Product Description:
The Suunto X-Lander is the ultimate option for the outdoor enthusiast who needs a stylish watch to wear in and out of the office. With an accurate chronometer, altimeter and barometer, and a precise electronic compass, the Suunto X-Lander is a multi-functional sports watch in a one elegant package. But in spite of the abundance of features, it is extremely user-friendly, with a large display with big numerals and an electro-luminescent backlight for dimly lit conditions, making this one of the most versatile everyday watches you will find anywhere.

The Suunto X-Lander combines exclusive looks with the rock solid construction. The non-allergenic aluminum casing, carbon fiber back and the durable mineral crystal glass, combined with the water-resistant fabric strap, make Suunto X-Lander ideal for those who want their watch to tell more than the time. The calendar watch is pre-programmed to the year 2089, has three daily alarms, and a stopwatch with split time measurement and a countdown timer. The altimeter features a range up to 9000 meters (that's 29,500 feet), which puts all 14 of the world's 8000 plus meter summits within your range. It has also an adjustable altitude alarm, as well as several memory functions. With the watch's logbook function, for instance, you can record total and cumulative vertical ascents and descents, as well as the number of runs skied.

The electronic compass displays the cardinal or half-cardinal point, and the north-south arrow and can display bearings with three-degree accuracy. You can also set it to track a certain bearing, which helps you follow a chosen direction in the terrain. The declination adjustment function allows you to correct the difference between the true north and magnetic north. The Suunto X-Lander displays the current barometric pressure and temperature, as well as the pressure-related data for the past four days. It also shows you the present sea level pressure, which makes it easier to read and understand the barometric pressure at high altitudes.

In short, the Suunto X-Lander is the choice for outdoor people who are not willing to make compromises when it comes to the quality, materials and functionality of their vital equipment.

Rating : - Beware the cheap band.....
The watch itself is nice enough; not quite as easy to use as a similar Casio Pathfinder, but okay.

My big gripe was with the band. There is nothing 'military' about the quality. After less than a year of VERY light use, the band broke and at the time of writing Suunto does not sell an identical replacement strap. The only alternative is a cheap- and generic-looking strap, which ends ends up taking a lot away from the original look of the watch. The multiple Casio's I've owned have, at worst, only needed a new band every 1-2 years with heavy use (diving, surfing, desert use, etc). Even if an identical strap was available, I would not trust it to keep the watch on my wrist. Overall: Buy a Casio if you want the same features; they are generally cheaper, more durable, and more user-friendly.
