Customer Reviews

Very good, but my first one was defective. - Reviewed on 2008-05-08

Works very well. Nice that you can adjust compass reading to account for magnetic variation. Features seem to all work. Looks nice. Strap feels/looks good and is replaceable, too. Instructions reasonably easy to follow (except for compass directions which reference control buttons by names not clearly (if at all) shown on the diagrams). All in all a very satisfactory performer. BUT NOTE: my first watch was defective, failing several times over first 2 weeks; I returned to seller for replacement which I have received and put through a rigorous workout for past several weeks. I suggest you do the same, repeatedly testing all the functions to ensure it does not fail. The failure was seen by a sudden resetting of everything back to zero hour. That is Jan. 1, some years ago at 12:00am. Not good.

Directional readings are accurate enough to navigate by, but not as accurate as watches costing four times as much.

It has lots of useful features like, alarm, countdown timer, and chronograph.

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!

All the functions work great. But I strongly recommend to search for another kind of watch band, because this one stinks very badly after some use, you should wash and dry it everyday.

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!
