First of all I love Timex -- this watch keeps time well, it's alarm works fine, all the usual time piece type stuff work fine. However those things are not the reason you would buy this watch, you buy it for the altimeter,barometer,thermometer, weather condition and compass right ? Well the altimeter was off -- the barometer was off- I was unable to adjust them -- the compass went haywire on me only once , thank god I was not in the back country and really needed it --the temperature ( the manuel says" it will be off by 10 degrees") mine was off by 12 - 15 degrees , it recommends it be worn on your belt- if you want an accurate reading- ON YOUR BELT-- IT'S A WRISTWATCH. The weather conditions well if the other settings don't work that feature didn't have a chance . I gave it time, I played with it, I wanted it to work but will listen to reviews more carefully next time.

Having viewed many many pages of watches on the Amazon web site I finally decided that this could be the watch I was looking for. Once ordered it arrived within a very short time. To my surprise and initial consternation it was much bigger than I had expected but once I got used to it it is quite comfortable and fairly easy to use. Functionality wise it has all the functions an outdoors adventurer could want (except for GPS functionality). It is easy to read anjd jumping between functions is simple. All in all a very nice watch.

I owned a Casio Pathfinder for 10 years. Now, I have Timex Expedition WS4. They both have Triple Sensor Altimeter/Barometer/Digital Compass. They are good watches. I would like to capare them together.
To compare a Casio Pathfinder to Timex Expedition WS4:
- SET UP. Casio Pathfinder does not need to be set up. You can start using it out of the box. Timex Expedition WS4 does need to be set up correctly for every sensors before you can start using it. If the set up is not correct, you will get the wrong reading. CASIO Win.
- READING. Casio Pathfinder has a botton for each of the sensors. You can read the sensors by one push of button. Timex Expedition WS4 has only 1 button for all secsors reading. You have to continue pressing that button until you find the sensor that you want to read. CASIO Win.
- SIZE. Both are big watch. No Winner.
Timex Expedition WS4 is a good watch to have for your outdoor activities. However, I give Timex Expedition WS4 4...Read more
