Pretty much everything I've ever read from any user of this product has complained about the GPS sensitivity. You can expect to lose some performance in the drive to make this thing far smaller than (far) better performing handheld cousins like the Garmin 60CSX - but at a certain point you're just trading away too much, and I think this product is on the wrong side of that point.
qiqies, you would not believe how much reliance military places on GPS technology now days. I agree the compass and maps still works but why not use the technology available to us. I am just saying Suunto shouldn't falsely advertise or embellish product capability that's all.
Do not trust this video. GPS function unreliable. Suunto should be ashamed to market a product with its GPS claim when some of us military folks rely our lives on GPS navigation.
Took it hiking in the Adirondacks. Trees block the signal. Not reliable in that way.

if you're in the military you should not be relying on gps to navigate, you need to learn how to do it the old fashion way.

I've read it's functions thoroughlly and it's probably the best outdoors watch ever... however it's HORRIBLE...
That's where Tissot's T-Touch succeeded, even though it's one of the most useless outdoors watch ever, it's just so beautiful...
