## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ so far so good
*by A***R on February 17, 2014*

works just fine, altimeter is quite sensitive and helpfulFor its price the watch seems like an amazing bargain compared to similar types -- and quite stylish in a rugged sort of way, tooI've got no problems with the plastic bezel -- wouldn't want metal

### ⭐ Zero Stars -- Terrible Quality (and totally genuine opinion)
*by A***M on June 11, 2013*

A very thorough review!!After 2 months of use, both in urban settings and backcountry trips in Colorado where I live, and frequently consultation with the included manual, I wish I could give this zero stars, and here is why:The only features that work properly on this watch are: Clock, Stopwatch, Timer, and Alarm.The following do NOT work properly:--Altimeter: needs to be recalibrated FREQUENTLY, and at anything below like 1,000 feet, mine simply reads "LO ft". Also, it's a pain to calibrate it to anything like 500ft and up (and I live near 6,000ft!) because it will ascend the first digit for 5 or so seconds, then start ascending by 10's for about 5 seconds, then start ascending by 100's, then 1,000s -- it's VERY easy to overshoot, what a pain!!!--Barometer: very inaccurate readings with the actual barometric pressure. Also, currently mine has read "HI" for the past 2 weeks, what the heck help does that give me in predicting if a storm is about the hit???--Outside temperature: I'm confident in assuming the watch is reading the temperature of the skin on my wrist. I've been on backcountry trips where it is in the low 30s and 40s and the outside temp, according to the watch, will be in the 70s, and I always think, yea...I wish!!--Compass: Needs to be recalibrated CONSTANTLY. There have been times where I've pointed the watch towards the sunrise or sunset, and it either is nowhere close to the right direction, or says "OFF CAL". Just think about this...Why in the heck would a compass ever need to be calibrated? I can understand the altimeter and barometer, but how can a company NOT set up the compass to consistently read magnetic north to keep the compass accurate? Also, to calibrate it you have to rotate, by hand, the watch face at least 2 full rotations, and the watch face is INCREDIBLY hard to turn (and it is way too difficult to do with cold hands, and fully impossible with gloves on).****If you're looking for a watch that tells time, has a stopwatch, timer, and alarm setting, then order away (although these are SWEET, I've owned two of them, and they each lasted me nearly 2 years, and they're cheaper and don't have an oversized, nerdy looking face like this LaCrosseXG55 http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T53151-Ironman-Traditional-30-Lap/dp/B000B4ZXV6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370954915&sr=8-1&keywords=timex+ironman+watch).****If you're buying this watch for the added altimeter, thermometer, barometer, and compass, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID.(Again, I gave this watch 2 months before writing a review, and frequently used the manual to make sure it was not simply user error.)

### ⭐⭐ Fair to Midland
*by P***D on September 1, 2011*

Found this watch to have cool features and easy to setup. Easy to use.Only problem is the information it gives was not always right! Altitude was close but varied from 30' to 170' OFF. Barometer was never right and calibrated correctly. maybe works better staying outside. Commercial buildings are pressurized, could be the issue??? Temp was as instructed, must be removed from wrist for several minutes to get ambient temperature; that was accurate. Compass was jerky and hard to settle down, not fluid-like movement but accurate outside. Compass was also too sensitive, would not work near metal i.e. in the vehicle or aircraft, near other electronics. Oh and the watch keeps good time :{)I returned mine to upgrade to better quality and accuracy. If you're just looking for it to be close, this is a good watch for the price.
