X9i-M, red light and used for mil operations
Pros: When used correctly this will do the job, read the book
Cons: Not a dive or water equipment
Review: This watch is a computer and should be treated as such. It will work, but needs to be re cal each time. Has all the function for outdoors events. Unit is costly, but is worth it. Watch band is like the M9, and dose not like direct heat, band will get sticky when used in 120 deg heai, Iraq, for long events convoys. bottons on band will start to crack and will not rest water.
Updated on Sep 6, 2011After 5 Deployments in sunny Iraq, and two new watchbands, one repair, the unit is still ticking. If it can survive that type of environment, it is worth the price. Did the UPS mail in repair from the website and worked quite well. Looked at the X10 and did not see any real difference. Unit could be and should be made with a better band that would not interfere with the Antenna.
