Xbox mate, Xbox!
I have a friend who told me once that he served 3 years in the Army.. and reach the rank of Col. all on a Playstation.. I almost pissed myself laughing so hard..
Got a Luminox 3900 Seals...brand new and cheap from Ebay(90$) ... Simple but very usefull, I'm happy about it.
Not that Seals use this in Night Ops I think. In total darkness these things glow pretty well and are good visible, even from a distance. Got myself a "HIT" on the airsoftfield in a night-ops game because they spotted the watch. Lucky it was only airsoft
You mean Xbox service is non-transferrable with military service? Oh, crap!
That might change some of the BTDTs on this forum to never been anywhere, and never did anything..
What about that super nintendo game where you qualify with the M16? Put in the cheat code to qualify 200 out of 40.
How do you put the cheat codes into video games??
Left-left-B button twice gives you 155mm's.
'nuff said.
+1 on the Luminox.Luminox series 3000 seal dive watch. excellent piece of kit.
I bought it online from the US (cheaper) and I live in Europe.I've got a chance of buying a mates Suunto X-Lander for a pretty reasonable price. Anyone who has this model care to comment on how happy or not they are with theirs. I'm not sure whether to save the money up instead......as I've got half a dozen watches as it is.........and do I really need another.
-The thermometer is only accurate if u take it off your wrist and wait awhile.
- The alitmeter must be calibrated on a regular basis. If you are hiking in the mountains f.example you should calibrate it whenever you can. Check the map for altitute and calibrate the watch. It should be more or less reliable for a few hours, unless the weather changes (high / low pressure changes) as you move up/down in altitude. As this is likely to happen you should, once again, calibrate it whenever u can....
- The compass is cool.
- The watch is too big imo.
The fancy features of an altimeter, compass and thermometer got used less and less in my case. The altimeter was so unreliable and needed constant calibration so I stopped relying on it and just used the map instead.
After a few months my x-lander started to malfunction. The date and time automatically adjusted itself to the year 2000, and time 00:00. checked the Suunto website and it said this problem was a malfunction some early product series experienced. This happened every other day, so I sent it back to the dealer. I The watch got stolen in the mail and I didn't have insurance, so I lost it....I'm not bying a Suunto product again.
I've been using a Suunto Vector for about the last 3 months. I don't like it. Scratch magnet & I keep hitting the mode button with bending my wrist really quite a pain the in the neck. I like all the features, but I mainly bought it for the compass, which is pretty good. I'm going back to my G-shock and wrist band compass.
I had a Suunto X-lander.. eats batteies, and keeps losing is't memory.. that is it loses itself..
I have had a vector for about 5 years, Good watch and yes bulkie. I had a casio altimeter watch, that died, they had a problems back then, but a real nice watch when it worked. Interesting on a rescue we were at 10,000 ft appox. and check all of our altimeters, a thoman mechanical(SP), 2 electronic altimeter and a number of watches, all were within 30 feet of each other. Prices varied from under $100 to about $500.00.
edited to add, ALL altimeters need to be recalibrated often.
Fact....
I prefer not to have all of my stuff in the same basket.. battery goes down, you loose it all.
