Watch Compass, Altimeter Barometer Thermometer Temperature, Pedometer, Military Army Waterproof Outdoors Sport Digital Watch for Men

These all use the same chipset in this price range $40-90. They generally work ok. You can hear this alarm unlike another brand i had to return. I like the ABC and a Pedometer which you cannot get on most of the ProTek Casios unless you opt for a smart watch version which is not that optimum for hiking etc. as it's more stuff to deal with. The compass is acurrate enough (not as good as the Casio) but works just fine after calibrating, and mine holds calibration. I've used it in shower with no leaking or fogging as has been reported. I think the guy who had trouble with water was probably pressing the watch buttons while under water, and most likely was subjecting it too temperature extremes as well. If mine finally fogs or leaks I will report it. The screen is plenty bright and the light works great. The band and size are very comforable and light, especially for being one of the larger sizes of watches. For the money this is a good general kick around watch that doesn't suffer from needing to connect to a phone for all the features. I also own a decent Protrek, but only use that for special hikes and trips, otherwise this watch is the goto that works well and keeps track of my steps/calories/distance and look pretty cool. If I loose it or something, I'm only out $36. So, basicly, I love it!

Normally, I purchased Casio for a watch that cost 10 times as much with the features I want. This is pretty cool design with exceptional that the instructions are tiny. It’s even more difficult to see with a magnifying glass. So far value has been pretty good. I bought a Casio pro trek. About the same time cashew‘s instructions a little bit easier. The instruction book is in volumes. But it’s not quite as good as my original Casio with the altimeter. Time will tell.

I was looking for a "gadget watch" to wear outdoors and leave the nice one at home. Since I'm certified for Search and Rescue Training and Qualifications I was curious about the function of this watch and I am surprised. The watch function has 2 time capability, 12/24 hour display, alarms, chrono, etc. You expect that. It also has a fitness function of steps taken, distance traveled or calories burned. Pretty nice. However the outdoor functions are almost stellar. I have the barometer in "history mode" because rising and falling pressures mean something when you are outdoors for an extended period; and _maybe_ you will have cell phone coverage. The altimeter is dependent on air pressures but once calculated accurate enough for validating your elevation on a Topo Map. The compass is a "GPS compass" - which means it's based on True or Grid North; AND it works best when you are moving -- if you stand still, the satellites try to triangulate your position. Here I have it indoors and you can see both the watch and magnetic compass and their indicated direction. How about that. It is also _not_ affected by magnetic forces like a standard compass around technology. The functions were very easy to configure: I used the default setting and used a good weather station to adjust temperature and pressure; and I went outside and set the compass by slowly walking in a known direction and making fine adjustments. Two items to consider: 1) It's not a bright watch but I have not had any problems with the display; and 2) the barometer/temperature setting is affected by your body heat, so take the watch off to calibrate and use. I think I had the watch off for the compass piece as well, but from habit of holding a compass. I highly recommend the watch to anyone who knows how read and use the functions. You can never have enough backup.

Besides being almost impossible to navigate the various functions, the large map like instructions are impossible to follow.. 4 different sequences to get altitude and you have to set it at sea level.. what works one time doesn't the next and by the time you get some of the basic functions figured out.. it quits.. It worked for the 2 time zones and the step counter that converts to milage.. after a year..started beeping and turned off.. . junk .. in the trash

Very nice features, outstanding value and waterproof as well. Good buy.

At first I liked the color and design. Looked cool. I liked keeping track of my steps, but I hadn't checked out other features yet. About 2 weeks ago, we had some very hot and humid weather. I sweat terribly around this time. One particularly hot afternoon, I noticed my watch face was all foggy inside. I took it off and wiped dry with a towel and after a few hours, the fog cleared a little. As time went on, foggy lense every day and never cleared up. Today the watch quit on me, no time, back light, or lunch alarm. I took bands off to open the back cover and check the battery. There was rust and corrosion on the interior parts of the watch. The metal tabs, little contact spring, and small part of the back plate rusted. Took the battery out and replaced it. The face came back on, blinking 1200. None of the buttons worked to reset the watch. This particular watch is a piece of junk, I was a bit mad and threw it away. I'll go back to my Casio G-Shock watches. I've had 3 of them over the last 20 years. They last a long time.

Great watch

The watch is solid. Comes with multiple functions and easy to to understand and calibrate. The compass accuracy is of major challenge, but apart from that, every detail it displayed when compared to my many references, it points exactly. Unlike my previous watch, over 5yrs of usage, I still couldn't master the many settings and calibration techniques it came with. This brand stand out, even after few days usage.
