Amazing watch!, November 12, 2010

This review is from: Timex Expedition WS4 Altimeter Watch (Sports)

Let me say the good things that I love from this watch.
1) The weather report is very accurate
2) The size is the same of a suunto, the only difference is that one is square and the other is circular.
3) The temperature feature is very accurate, and when you remove it from your hand, in a matter of 3 minutes shows the real temperature.
4) The barometer works great.
5) The altimeter is very very accurate! The only bad thing is that it update very slowly.

The only bad thing is that the watch screen can get scratched very easy.

I was shopping for a good outdoors watch for hiking. For the money - the WS4 has it all! I love the layout (call me a geek) and I am wearing it every day. In fact, a lot of people stare at the watch - lord knows what they're thinking. LOL. Anyway, when the WS4 arrived, I read the instructions but couldn't get it to recognize my altitude. I set the home location - but that didn't seem to work. I double checked the weather setting and that had no effect. I read some blogs and finally decided to have it replaced. Amazon immediately shipped a new one but after it arrived, it had the same problem. What were the odds of receiving two defective watches? I decided to dig a little deeper online - until I found an obscure blog about "hard setting" the watch. I had no idea that after I set my home location or the weather that it needed to be hard set. After setting a feature - simply hold the Stop/Reset button until it beeps - and you're hard set.

My only complaint is the...Read more

The watch in all is a good watch. It lives up to expectations but the compass failed within 1 month of purchase. I sent the watch back in for repairs and have not received it back yet but customer service was really decent. I think personally that it is as accurate as some of the several suunto's that I own. Except for the compass issue it seems to be a great deal.
