This watch was a great purchase for the first few weeks that I had it; as far as functionality it has performed superbly. A few weeks after I purchased this watch (the X10 Military) I deployed to Iraq and planned on using this watch with my work in the Army here.
The watch has continued to serve fairly well until I had about 2 months in country. The bezel/upper-case (a flexible rubber ring) is only attached by two rubber flanges that fit into the hard plastic body of the watch. First (at about 60 days) one of the flanges failed then in another 30 days the second flange failed. I have been able to superglue the bezel back onto the case (and probably voided the warranty but I can't wait months to get this back and forth) but I am very dissapointed that a watch that cost me $500.00 USD and is listed as a "military" model cannot handle exposure to the elements on my wrist for less than 3 months.
I think the concept and design of this watch is great but I hope that Suunto is able to better incorporate some "painful" product testing before you market something to the military who will depend on it.
