Big beauty
I haven't had this watch long enough to give it a really good test however, in the short time I have had it, it has impressed me and frustrated me. I've been impressed with the Barometer, Altimeter and compass - all very accurate in my opinion and easy to set and use. The temperature is very accurate also but so frustrating as it heats up by 10 degrees or so when warn on the wrist. To be fair this is pointed out in the instructions (although not in the description on Amazon unless I missed it). It's also a tad too big. I only have myself to blame for this as it is definitely mentioned on Amazon but it was only when I recieved it that I truly realised just how big. Fine for what it is intended for which is hiking etc but not a good look for every day use. All in all not a bad buy.


Can't trust it!
The compass didn't work. The thermometer didn't work accurately even when left off the wrist for 20 minutes. Returned and refunded. I just couldn't trust it for any serious walking.

The watch is great for barometer, altitude, chrono and temperature. The Chrono + review function brings this together really well- so for example, on my favourite cycle I can see not only time, but also amount descended and amount climbed. Backlight and 10year battery are really neat. Only downsize is that it is pretty big, and I do find that the buttons do dig into my wrist a bit. In summary, great for activity, not so good for the office (unless you want to see how high up you are....)

Product came through very quickly and packaging was very good to prevent damage to watch.
the only negative comment I have is that the watch was for a present, and my husband saw the name of the watch company on a sticker on the outside of the box when it was delivered so it was difficult to keep it a secret. Would suggest putting sticker on one of the internal packaging boxes rather than the outside box. Other than that my husband loved it.
