Customer Review: Big watch with big features
This watch has a lot of great features, if you fly, or want to tell how far off the ground you are in your office this is the watch for you. Your body influences the temperature, so they recommend you take off the watch to use this feature. The compass works great. The barometer is OK. Having analog hands and digital time is cool. This is a toy for most men, and the case is LARGE. Picture a stack of silver dollars and you’ll get the picture. This is one of the handicaps in buying something like this on line. All in all a nice toy, but the third party seller should have put more info in their product detail.
Customer Review: If It Only Did the Dishes Too…
Although I hike and occasionally backpack, I bought this watch as more of a curiosity than a necessity. It is a pretty amazing little machine. It is bulky, about two inches in diameter and almost a half inch in thickness. It’s comfortable though due to it’s relatively light weight for it’s size. Almost immediately I forgot it was strapped to my wrist. I think it’s actually a very cool looking watch too. Sorta ruggedly stylish. I think the analog hands tie the design of the face together although they do interfere with the main digital readout somewhat. Also, the face of the watch is grey, not the blueish look as the picture displays. It glows bright blue when the backlight is activated which incidently can be set to activate whenever you tilt the watch to your face…..very cool.
The features are the reason to buy a timepiece like this and they certainly don’t dissapoint. All functions perform very well and seem fairly precise.The compass is especially neat.It displays all four directional points and the angle bearing in relation to magnetic north. The temperature can be set to read celsius or fahrenheit, and the barometer actually creates a simple graph of it’s most recent readings enabling you to predict the sort of weather approaching at a quick glance. As for the altimeter, I can’t say I’ve really used that yet as I haven’t taken any trips to real areas of elevation lately…mostly just sea level.
In closing I really am growing fond of this watch. Just sit it out under a lamp if you don’t get outside much and it charges itself. When the lights go out it goes to sleep, turning off almost all of it’s LCD readouts, then springs back to life when the lights come back on. It’s like having a mini-weather station on your wrist that’s fascinating and functional. It seems very well built and if my past history with Casio watches proves true I have no doubt it’ll be with me for decades to come. It’s obviously alot of money for a digital watch, but all in all it’s uniqueness, gizmo-factor, and slew of information made it a solid value for my purposes. So far, so great.
