Suunto has just added to its range of GPS watches with the new X10, but this gizmo doesn't just do navigation and time-telling. It's also got an altimeter function, barometer, digital compass and thermometer: Exactly the sort of equipment any self-respecting real tomb raider would find darn useful. Even better, the X10 has improved GPS reception for tracking in difficult locations, like under heavy foliage in the rainforest, a track-back function so you can retrace your steps if you're lost, and 33% more battery life than the previous X9i generation. It also records waypoints, so you can pinpoint where that ancient undiscovered ruined temple really was, and charges/connects over USB. Available in two colours in September, though there's no info on price. [Navigadget]
