I retired the Submariner as life was too boring out here with it, plus it doesn't have an alarm so its soley on diver duty. I just bought the new X9i mil spec watch, damn this thing is cool!!!!

BTW I just noticed the time on the bottom 9:51!!!! The main time is afghanistan the time listed below is Iraq with the daylight savings time. Its funny, Afghanistan doesn't do daylight savings.

Its a rechargeable watch, hooks up to a USB cable via 4 prongs on the back of the watch (clip like device handles the charging and it takes about 35 min for a full charge). With hardcore GPS usage (up to the second coordinate imaging etc) battery lasts for 5 hours. Normal use with frequent GPS usage is 1 month per charge.

When I plug I plug it into my laptop or desktop, it shows me maps of where I've been etc. and I can map out where I want to go and then just request the waypoint and sync with a satilite and go! I can either download up to date maps of cities etc, or if all I have is an internet connection, I can download Google Earth maps of specific geographic locations and use those (even though they're older).

Best part about this watch is, if someone recovers my body in the middle of no where, they can see where I was going or where I went/came from. This works in cities as well, and the coolest thing is, if I ever get dropped off in the middle of no where, I can always set my bearings and plod along to where I am supposed to go, or find home. I CAN NEVER BE LOST....EVER!

TRP951

wow thats cool but the question some of us are wondering can you tune your engine with it?

testarossa_td

Here is the feature he is going to use...

You can also head out into the field without a preset route, and use your X9M/i to keep track of your position, speed, and distance traveled

^^Testa, a man after my own heart - yes this is also true not only lateral speed but also vertical speed in the event of climbing up hill, the degree of the slope you're going up, and rate of decent. Switches between km/mph easily.

Sorry dude, I love the new watch. It is awesome as hell, and I know it is much more functional for where you are. But you're killing me that you gave up the Rolex. And by the way Guns, how are the shaved arms doing?

My pal!

Workin' on my tan

Don't fear the Rolie will be in action here in a few months, its getting spared the daily abuse!

Gabe I hate to say it and perish the thought but as you said it first, if someone discovers your body over there, I'm guessing it won't be with the watch still on your wrist.

MPD47

Not gonna lie, that's one of the coolest watches I've seen.

Guns951

Patrick: You would assume correctly

Mike, coming from you that's one hell of a compliment

RolexNJ

Big time Mike. And where Gabe is it, it is the best thing for him to have.

With Nokia Suunto is another high tech manufacturer here in Finland. Suunto is quite old company ; they have made for example compasses from the '20's. I have my grand fathers old Suunto compass he purhased in 1928. He also had it in winter war back in 1939 when we fought against Russians. This compass still performs great.
