i am contemplating an
x-lander vs. an
observer...the question i pose is understanding the difference in how the alt and baro work in these 2 models. the
x-lander will give you continous readings re: baro and alti measurements as you scroll through the mode button...whilst the
observer only gives readings "DEPENDING" on which setting the watch is in, baro or alti...ie, if you put the watch in the alti mode, the baro sea pressure is fixed. and if the watch is in the baro mode, the alti is fixed at whatever altitude it was when placed in the baro mode.. why does
Suunto do this???? why does the
x-lander not function this way, or why does the
observer not function like the
x-lander?? am i correct to assume that the
observer, by functioning this way, gives "truer" more accurate baro and alti readings than watches that function like the
x-lander???? please help!!!!
