Vector or X-Lander?

[mrjones]

Hi there. This is my first post.

I am looking at getting a new watch, and have narrowed it down to either the Vector of the X-Lander. I spend a lot of time outdoors, and believe that you get what you pay for, so am quite happy to pay for a good watch. I do a lot of climbing and walking, and these two watches appear to suit my needs the most.

Can any tell me if there is much of a difference between the Vector and the X-Lander?

Do either of them have dual time?

The X-Lander appears to have a more robust body, but a less robust band. Apart from this, and the obvious price difference, I can't seem to find much that separates the two.

Many thanks,

mrjones.

According to the X-lander's manual, page 7, only difference is plastic vs aluminum casing.
