Mulva, lighten up!!
I love the speed of Garmin refreshing its product in just within a
year, unlike Suunto GPS watches. I am frustrated with the current
features in Suunto X10 GPS Watch, they are always the same. Can
Suunto please open up and start listening to the public and build a
feature-packed adventure watch for the world now? The people wants a
normal-sized watch with new and improved features, which are as
follows:
1. Wireless pc-watch/ watch-watch connectivity/ANT(like garmin
Forerunner 405)
2. Weather station(missing humidity hygrometer)
3. Walkie talkie(eg. WRL-00560 module or VHF module, extensible
antenna/antenna around the strap)
4. Solar
5. UV sensor(measure UV index, appears in numerous watches now)
7. Thermometer(facing outward, does not interfere with the
wearer’s body temperature)
8. Touch bezel(like Garmin Forerunner 405, to omit spaces for
buttons/no bulkiness)
9. Simple LED Torch(very useful during camp)
10. High frequency mosquito repeller(to target tropical
adventurer)
12. Laser ignition system(e.g.15mW laser, to start fire
autonomously)
13. Thick Sapphire glass with rubber damper side(rubber to absorb
shock)
14. Titanium casing, nylon strap(durable)
15. UV germicidal LED(Cure water for drinking)
16. Vibration alert/ alarm(silent operation, e.g. hunting, fishing)
17. Flash memory
18. Voice recording for fast book-logging(useful when resting after
hike, especially when bringing paper is inconvenient and you are
tired)
19. Simple voice operation for fast menu-switching(e.g. “up”, “down”,
“enter”, “back”)
I hope everyone loves these and vote for me => better watch.
