The Suunto X10 can use both, and if you have it on sync mode it will correct any barometric readings when it has a strong satellite lock for GPS. When it is locked on multiple satellites, this is most accurate. If you don't have satellite locks, it has the advantage over other GPS of running on barometric pressure
