I read a review that said the seconds "hand" is tough to follow, that it doesn't show every second. I am a Wilderness EMT and so having a seconds hand that is easy to read for taking a pulse is essential. Can you tell me any more about this?

this generation of Suunto watches has an animated display of seconds sweeping around the very outside of the dial, and a digital readout of seconds (you choose to see either this or the date). The animated sweeping display is indeed a bit odd at first. It is accurate, but it is not exactly like a traditional sweeping second hand on an analog watch.

Derek, I don't have an X-lander, just two Cores, but if the module is similar to the Core, the seconds indicator disappears after two to five minutes, except when the display is in seconds mode. The prevailing theory is battery life savings, but it would be nice if it would stay on. As a WFR, I get where you're coming from. The Pathfinder I have has the seconds indicator on all the time (PAW-1500T) but the altimeter accuracy is godawful. So I split wrist time between the Core and the Pathfinder, and occasionally the G-Shock Riseman. I would recommend a Core over the X, the storm alarm and the greater accuracy from the altimeter lock make it a better tool, in my opinion.

Does your wind up analog have an altimeter in it? Still looking for an answer.

If it were mission critical, I would be still using an analog watch. Digital watches are pretty useless when something happens to the battery, regardless of all the toys it has. A well crafted wind up analog watch has no equal when in the wilderness
