Customer Reviews
Decent, but not great - Reviewed on 2007-06-04
1 customer found this review helpful.
I like this watch, the strap and body look nice, and it performs well too. The indiglo display is bright and easy to toggle with the large button at the base of the face, but it doesn't stay on after releasing the button: you must hold the button down to continuously light the background. Not great, but I would've liked a one second delay.
The compass feature is why I bought this particular model, but after using it a few times, I didn't really continue to use this feature. As the manual states, sometimes the compass needs to be reset, and it seems like whenever I took the subway (I live in Tokyo, Japan), or was in a large building, the compass would get screwy.
Despite these caveats, I think its definately more than decent, just not incredible. Thanks Amazon!

Positives:
The watch is: compact, simple, easy to use, and lightweight with many useful features.
The compass functions fairly well for simple directional use, not exact measurements. I find that the watch is usually dead-on, but not to rely on it because it can be off by some 10 degrees sometimes. Great for simple navigation.
Negatives:
I had been looking for a watch with 3-6 alarms, 3 chronographs, and 3 timers. (Of course this is my problem, not the watch's because I knew that it has one alarm, a chrono, and a timer.
The backlight: I dislike the backlight on this watch. It should have a feature to either stay on when any button is pressed or only go on when the light button is pressed. The watch DOES have this feature except if it's on the "any button light" mode, it only stays on that mode for some hours.
THE WATCH IS A GREAT ONE FOR THE PRICE!
