Suunto Core vs X-Lander

[Viking]

I've got an option to get my hands on either watch for about the same price. The difference seem minimal...Any opinions?

[STOIC1]

I have the Core in black on black. Very happy with it. Settings are easy to navigate. It has Atimeter/Baro and Compass.

[Viking]

They seem very similar and unfortunately the website and user manuals do not follow the same format so the minor details are hard to compare...

Core has H2O Depth Meter, X-Lander does not. X-Lander also has a rotating bezel. There are also differences in the way they look. Full chart:

Are the X-Lander military being issued, or are they an approved purchase item? Neither?

[Viking]

Went with the X-Lander. I think it looks better and it was $30 cheaper. Thanks for the input.

I have an Xlander Commander. The all tactical becomes a pain in the but for those of us that are not always observing noise and light discipline. I also broke three band in three years.

That's where I got my Core, for $200:cool: Just remember that you only get two items for the life of the program.
