Suunto X10 Watch
Buyer beware

I carefully selected this watch and after reading all the reviews I could I chose this watch based on its features and the fact that I use Suunto dive equipment.
Early on in my research faze I became aware of the problem of the front of the watch "popping off", later still aparantly this had been rectified so I went ahead with my purchase.
Within a month of receiving my watch the pop off face problem happened, this happens by normal use of the buttons on the side selecting gps, using timers, anything that requires the pushing of the button seemed to cause the face to push that little bit further of the body.
I returned mine to Suunto, 3 times always with the same problem, I cant fault there customer service they have been excellent and after the 3rd time have replaced my watch for a new one.
The problem has started to happen again, so in order to combat the pop off I use the buttons sparingly, not really why I bought the watch but as far as I am concerned a good featured watch with a bad build design flaw. I also know of two others that have had the same problem so thats 4 watches in total.
So in summery, would I buy this watch again? NO
Would i reccomend this watch? NO
Would I buy/ Use Suunto products again? Yes and still do, as I said good customer service and my dive equipment is fine.
