Summary: Look for something else
Comment: I have owned this watch for two years. I have read the manual and tried the PC software. Neither are clear. I own several GPS receivers and watches. I regret trying to get this watch to do both. The battery goes dead very quickly and was replaced at the factory at my expense. The water resistance is now gone so it is in the shop again. It failed me in a mild rain.
The GPS is always slow to aquire a signal strong enough to mark a point or navigate by. All the time it spends trying figure out it's location it is also running down the battery fast. The buttons have a poor tactical feel to them that requires looking at the watch carefully or enabling the slilly beeps.
I wish I could get my time and money back.

Summary: Poor GPS reception hampers functionality
Comment: Received this watch last week. Thought it would be nice to have all this functionality in a watch.
I have over 14 years experience with GPS systems. This one is perhaps the least stable I have ever used including the older sequencing receivers. Since it will not hold lock even in an open flat area unless held level and away from your body, you can't very well move about with it strapped to your wrist and get any usable data. In a car - forget it. I let it acquire and load the satellite emepheris data for 15 minutes, after which it still could not hold position fixes with any normal movement, even it open terrain with good satellite geometry.
The other functions work well enough, stopwatch, dual time, compass, barometer, etc. The temp function is worthless, however this cannot be accomplished with any watch since your wrist warms it.
In conclusion it is not as good as the Casio triple sensor pathfinder you can get for about 160 dollars, which has a compass, baro temp function and a battery that lasts years rather than days like this one does (between recharges).

Summary: Acceptable!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Not Quite Up to Quality Standards Expected of Suunto
Comment: 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.
The prospect of the pain and suffering and expense of a return was more pain than I was willing to endure so I fixed the cheap faceplate cover delamination problem with a drop of superglue, almost certainly voiding my warranty which probably delights Suunto but since it has no impact on the performance of the watch as it's just a cheap (let me restate that incredibly cheap) plastic cover and has no impact on it's waterproof seal I chose to endure it.
In sum, a good product idea, possibly a good product in the future once it matures and they fix a few of these quality problems, but on the bleeding edge of technology and product development at the moment so unless you are a true early adopter, I'd recommend just saying no.

Summary: Not up to snuff
Comment: 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.
