Again, thanks for all of the info... be interesting to check out that new wrist mount GPS from Garmin... The only downside that I can see right now is the battery life on it... hope that they provide a quick car charger for it for all of us sailors, or provisions for a second battery to swap out on it...

Slow but clueless, do you know anything about the Suunto X9 gps watch??? Looks like a new product that they are launching that is also waterproof. I know you said to stay away from the M9 from your experiance with it. Just wondering you had a chance to check it out or not.
