Amazon.com Product Description: The Suunto X6M Watch is designed for use with any cross sport such as mountaineering, hiking or cross-country skiing. This unique watch not only measures and analyzes the surrounding environment, thereby minimizing the risks involved in traveling in unknown terrain, but it also collects and analyzes information on your performance that can help to vastly improve your training.
Knowing your altitude, ascent/descent rate, compass bearing, weather trends, barometric pressure, and the degree of slopes enables you to make safe decisions, particularly when hiking in wilderness or climbing in the mountains. The Suunto X6M gives you the measurement tools you need to safely journey into the backwoods. The watch's altimeter gives you not only an accurate reading of your altitude, but it also provides your vertical speed. What's more, there's an altitude alarm, a logbook with waypoint recording, altitude difference readings, and a cumulative ascent meter. A barometer offers the sea level pressure as well as absolute pressure, a weather trend graph, temperature, and the all-important weather alarm that will warn you of upcoming changes in the conditions. The watch's alarm feature can alert you at certain altitudes to help you maintain safe climbing speed on the mountains, or warn you of an upcoming storm. Add to these outstanding features a compass and an clinometer, and you've got yourself a watch that will keep you safe under any conditions.
The Suunto X6M is also ideally suited for fast sports, with advanced timing functions that enable you to record virtually an unlimited number of lap and split times of your activity. The chronometer records accurate altitude profiles with 10- or 60-second intervals for up to 200 hours. The adjustable alarm can function as an interval reminder, for instance, to remind you of regular hydration during your adventure or extended workout session. And best of all, the Suunto X6M not only records your data, but it also stores it for later analysis with the help of specially designed Windows-based software. The watch's menu-based user interface is familiar to most mobile phone users, making the watch a breeze to operate.
Water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), the Suunto X6M is designed with a rugged polished steel case and a comfortable black leather strap.
