Highgear

Highgear

Highgear began in 1999, when outdoor enthusiast Mike Hosey set out to create a unique line of compact and affordable outdoor navigation watches and tools. Hosey was already an avid adventurer, having spent countless hours skiing at Sugar Mountain, mountain biking Bent Creek and hiking in the majestic Pisgah National Forest. With the goal of producing more convenient and functional wilderness watches and survival tools for outdoorsmen, Highgear came to full fruition in 2001 with a host of cutting edge, hand-held Highgear navigational devices, compasses, altimeter watches, pedometers, heart monitors and unique survival tools. Today, the innovators at Highgear spend hours brainstorming new ideas, making product improvements, and enhancing the functionality of their watches, radio flashlights and electronic navigation tools. The result has been the line of Highgear high-performance tools and multi-purpose watches that make outdoor life safer and more enjoyable. The result is Highgear.

Great watch
By Back in the GameVerified Reviewer from Alabama on 11/10/2008
Pros:
Easy to Use, Good Quality
Best Uses:
Running
Describe Yourself:
Athletic, Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I have 2 small children and am getting back into shape. I use this watch when I run at night, so the backlight option is great when I'm not under a streetlight. I am a petite female and find that the watch fits perfectly on the smallest notch. Also, the face might be big for everyday use, but I would not want it any smaller for it's athletic purpose. I don't want to squint while I'm running and then trip! The chronometer is great, too. I don't keep up with splits yet, but that will be helpful in a few weeks. Great buy, imo.

High Gear Enduro Max Sport Watch (For Men and Women)
 
jsut like the cheapos
By FolderPeteVerified Reviewer from San Francisco on 10/27/2008
Pros:
Adjustable Watchband
Cons:
Unreliable
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
It went blank out after 11 mths. It may be the battery, but the face is blank, and this has happened intermitantly over the last year, so it may not jsut be the battery. Heck, I bought it cuz I was tired of cheapo Chinese watches that only lasted for ... 11 mths or so. The display is large (can see w/o glasses), but the features are quirky (tend to not use 'em), and the sounds (beep and alarm) are weak. Do I have to spend >$50 for a watch that will last for several years? -FP

10 minutes initial charge, Heavy, Long crank initial time

Returned it
Bottom Line:

It was kind of heavy and clumsy looking but mainly I found one that had a solar cell plus a crank and battery to charge it and also had the cell phone charge option along with a nice shape and size for a bright flashlight.

Low battery life

Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
Flashlite is ok. Seems to take a lot of cranking to charge the battery...and it doesn't seem to hold that charge when not using. Overall, it seems like a durable light.

Highgear Smart Dynamo Emergency Radio-Flashlight-Cell Phone Charger
 
Handle broke off with initial charging
By NorskeiVerified Reviewer from Indianapolis, IN on 08/13/2008
Pros:
Bright
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
Bought this primarily for camping or traveling for recharging my phone or for emergency recharging, radio and light. First of all, none of the adapters fit my phone (Motorola Razr), then when performing the initial 10min crank charge of the rechargeable batteries as my fingers were cramping from winding and winding and winding, the crank broke off. Not good.

High Gear Enduro Max Sport Watch (For Men and Women)
 
This is a man's watch - not a woman's
By runnergirlVerified Reviewer from NM on 08/11/2008
Pros:
Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish
Cons:
This is a large watch
Best Uses:
Everyday
Describe Yourself:
Athletic, Classic, High End Shopper
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
This watch should be advertised as a man's watch. Had it been, I would not have ordered it. It is a great looking watch, but you can't adjust it enough to fit a woman's wrist, unless you have a larger wrist.
