Attractive and very accurate By C.T. from New Hampshire on 06/29/2009 Pros: Good Quality, Stylish Best Uses: Everyday, Sports Describe Yourself: Athletic Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This altimeter watch is much better looking than many I've seen with the combination of a metal body and a moderate size (it does not stand out on my normal-sized wrists as the huge models from other manufacturers often do). However, the all-stainless-steel body is quite heavy.
I have used the watch in the mountains in New Hampshire and Wyoming and found it to be very accurate, often erring less than 10 feet over the day, from elevations between 400 feet and 10,000 feet. One feature that I really like is the watch's ability to give a true barometer reading (adjusted to sea level) the way the airports / weather stations do. This is a boon for weather buffs like me. It also allows you to calibrate your altimeter even if you don't know your present altitude, if you have access to a nearby weather station's statistics.
The only gripe I have about the watch is that the barometer/altimeter becomes inaccurate, by several hundred feet, when wet. I don't know if this is a feature common to these devices, but it happened both after wearing it in the shower and after a fall into deep slushy snow. In both cases the readings returned to normal after the watch dried out fully in a few hours. It was not affected by moderate rain showers.
Not worth even sale price. By -RB from Santa Clara, CA on 06/21/2009 Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Does not come with enough cell phone connections. Difficult to find proper size connections for sizes not included.
Poor quality all around.
Sent mine back for refund.
By give more, take less from davidson on 06/14/2009 Describe Yourself: Athletic, High End Shopper, Modern, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: this was a very inexpensive item compared to its competition, but it has the basic features of a sports watch with a stylish band and a modern look. my main watch i wear is a rolex. i like this because i can get it dirty and not worry too much about it. i don't think this watch would fit a petite woman's wrist despite being noted as a unisex product.

By Mike from Northeast on 05/03/2009 Cons: Difficult To Change Bulb Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased the radio mainly for my son's camping trips. He likes to listen in his tent before sleeping. with this radio, he can listen without using a lot of battery, and if he leaves it on it will go off when the crank charge runs down.
Included with the radio is recharge connection adaptors to fit Nokia, Samsung, LG and Motorola.

Great performace for the money By Sherpa Josh from Branford, CT on 03/17/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable Cons: No real cons as of now Best Uses: Backcountry use, Everyday, Travel Describe Yourself: Athletic, Outdoors person, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Right out of the box the thermometer and barometer were spot on. The altimiter needs daily calibration, takes a second or two. Easy to read and extremely versitile display. I found it very easy to set up and use. The heart rate monitor chest band is suprisingly comforatable. Overall it's a great buy. I have recomended it to a bunch of like minded people without hesitation.
