How we checked

The manufacturer page (findmespot.com) confirmed the exact model "SPOT X 2-Way Satellite Messenger" with a Tech Specs block stating IP67 (submersible 1m/30min), "7.0 oz (198.4g) with Lithium Batteries", "240 HOURS (10 DAYS) OF BATTERY LIFE IN 10 MINUTE TRACKING MODE", a rechargeable lithium battery, the Globalstar network, and a price of $199.99 (marked down from MSRP $249.99). The Outfitter Satellite retailer page corroborated the identical model "SPOT X" via a full spec table: Globalstar Satellite Network, Two-Way Satellite Text Messaging, Full Physical QWERTY Keyboard, 2.7" backlit display (standalone messaging), IP67, 198g weight, 166 × 74 × 25 mm dimensions, and "Up to 240 Hours (10-Minute Tracking)" on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, priced at $238.38. Both pages agree on model identity and every sourced spec; weather forecasting is absent from both feature lists, consistent with the device having no weather service.
