Same thing happened to me.. just purchased the X9Mi and beginning to have doubts. When I received the watch I removed it from the box and began to charge it immediately. I set the time / date / UTC and everything seemed to be ok. The next day, after fully charging it, I took it out for a GPS test and left it outside to configure for about half an hour, after which I broght back into the house and uploaded the details to the track exporter. So after I had uploaded everything I placed the watch on the charger again, left the X9Mi on the table. The next morning I woke up and noticed the time had reset itself on both time zones set. However, the UTC and all other settings were fine.

This is disturbing.. I do not want to be 50-?? miles into the depths of the unkown and everything resets on me.... for a 600$ watch none of this should even happen, should be more reliable than a standard watch and compass, but I never leave without the rudimentrary items. Can never trust tech.


I love the features, but if this is a continueous issue with fiddleing with the watch it's not worth it... another thing that upsets me is the need to adjust the altimeter and having to place a "referance" .... my HighGear adjusted, out of the box, altitude and doesn't need configuration.

	Compass Compasses are sensitive, absolutely crucial instruments to precision navigation. The earth's magnetic field, inclination, and your longitude and latitude all influence the horizontal plane of a compass needle. As a result, compasses are balanced for different geographical zones. Suunto Compasses overcome this limitation to traditional compasses by using a simple 'Two Zone System'. With a Suunto Compass, the only 'balancing zones' are the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to this innovation, certain Suunto Compasses come equipped with useful features like luminous needles and marks, centimeter/inch scales, magnifying glasses, clinometers, sighting notches, and more.
