swoopgaz 0 #1 February 23, 2011 After using a Suunto vector for a couple thousand jumps and absolutely loving it, I deciding to upgrade to a xlander. The display on the xlander never worked properly from day one and in certain cases (when the watch is hot) the display doesn't work at all. After trying to get something done about my watch, all i got told from suunto is to just send it somewhere to get fixed, i've decided i need a new watch and suunto can go jump of a bridge. So my question, has anyone out there used any other type of alti watch, in particular casio for example, and how do they compare to the alti function of a suunto and do you like using them for skydiving. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks No answer, but I find it funny as hell when I clicked on this thread (twice) a suunto ad comes up on the left. James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhys 0 #6 February 26, 2011 xlanders are more expensive but i know 2 people that have them and the metal ring falls off. i have a vector and love it, when it is too scratched or breaks... I will get another vector. upgrading models is not always equal to upgrading quality. simple is better."When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
