Suunto X9 GPS Watch Review

The Suunto X9 GPS watch has so many features and useful tools that the Suunto website doesn’t call it a watch, but refers to it as a wristop computer. This athletic sports timepiece functions as a altimeter, barometer, GPS, compass, calendar, and, of course, a watch.

Perfect for backpackers and hikers, the altimeter keeps track of your altitude with convenient alarm and thermometer functions, and also tracks your vertical pace. Water resistant up to an astounding 330 feet, swimmers and divers will enjoy the barometer on the watch, as it keeps track of the pressure, temperature, and graphs the weather with an alarm feature.

It doesn’t matter if you enjoy cycling in the city or walking in the woods- any athlete will find the GPS and compass useful. Blaze new trails or make it simple to exercise when you’re traveling out of town, with these features you’ll never have to worry about losing your way. Record and store all your exercise data on this little machine, for future analysis and comparing your athletic performances.

The large, easy to read digital face means you can check the date and time with just a quick glance, no need to pause during your workout. A smooth athletic design is subtly sporty, but not so much that it can’t be worn with other attire.

Molded out of black and silver plastic, this watch isn’t just functional but brings beauty in a GPS watch as well. You’ll find yourself making excuses to go out and exercise, just so you can explore all this watch has to offer!
