Hi there, does anybody have any experiences with outdoor watches thru jumping? I mean, if some outdoor watches with altmeter, barometer and gps ( for ws ) could be useful? For example Suntoo X10 or similar? thx a lot

I use my Suunto Altimax for skydiving and also on objects that I am not sure of the height in conjunction with my laser range finder. they work wonderfully

How about doing a forum search "suunto"? There are many threads on the subject.

Sunnto SUCKS !!!!!
I upgrade in watches to High Gear and saved HALF of the suunto...

Works better, can read it better and its accurate enough to BASE or skydive from. (handfull of SD and BASE seems to be accurate to 3 feet)

++ High Gear is great

I have the X10 and i have used it on skydives plenty of times. the altimeter works fine in that environment but i have not used it in a base environment.

The X10 is great for hiking. good gps features to compliment movement across land but not so great at air travel. it will track your coordinates and altitude but it will not export them to a map to show a flight path or at least i never was able to get it to do that. it just shows it like you walked around on the ground.

very pricey if you intend to just use it to track WS jumps. if your just using it to get to the exit point then its a great watch to have.

thx, very valuable . I hoped X10 can tell me the distance you overflew, alti level, flying speed, wind drift and so on. Then you should be possible to overcome yourself again and again and fly farther away and faster . Yep, I mean WS first of all.

Try this. http://flysight.ca/

hey bloke, thx alot. Thats exactly what Im looking for! WS GPS locator yeahh!

i have a bunch of Suunto watches and they've worked fine for me skydiving and BASE jumping.

i've never tried anything else because i don't pay for them.

first of all I think you need to try to learn how to write it correctly

Fastpete the grammer policia... Cypress, flair,Sunnto.
