 Functional but not very water resistant July 28, 2008
I bought this watch for my son. He loves all the gadgets. However
after a week of camping in the rain the watch has condensation on the
inside. It's supposed to be water resistant to 30m so this seems to
be a defect.
All other functions seem to work as advertised. We still need to hike
up a mountain to test the altimeter.
 Good, not perfect. January 10, 2008

I have this watch for about 6 months and I like it a lot. Few comments are:
Good:
- The watch is pretty accurate (I just calibrated my compass one time and, even traveling a lot, it has worked perfectly);
- The size is not so big. I'm man but even in my wife's arm it fits well;
- It has a beautiful design.
Bad:
- The materials are not the best (the center button does not work anymore and the ring, used to calibrate the compass, seems to be locked right now).
Why am I giving 4 stars? I had different watchs from Suunto, all of them more expensive and bigger than this one. The size and the "all information in one screen (time, date, temperature and weather forecast are shown together)", plus the update Highgear did in the past months make this watch the best value for the money (an besides, I paid only $80 at Amazon website).
Highgear watch review January 7, 2008
Nice watch with easy to read numbers however having problems with the Altimeter and Compass. You have to go through a lot of steps to calibrate and you must calibrate these every day. Temperature is not accuate as it does not compensate for body temp.
Highgear AXIS watch December 27, 2007
I'm a Light DayHiker, that chooses to hike trails to waterfalls and
peaks/summits with a view. The feature I like best about this watch is
the ALTIMETER, current altitude, total accumulation, and max, and
uses bar-graph to 'chart' the accent/decent. The watch also has many
other features like : 2-timezones, 12/24-hr format, MM/DD/YY format,
temperature F/C, chronograph, alarm, barometer, digital compass.
The instruction manual is easy to use(but very small print) and available on
HighGear webpage in PDF format (larger print to read) and enclosed mini-dvd with instructions.
ONLY reason I didnt give it 5-stars is, there are 5 diff buttons (S)
for setting, and they "dont lock", so if bump any of the buttons
(yes need to hold a few secs) the settings can change. (has happened
a few times as I wear it on the inside of my wrist). I know almost
every watch out there uses the "hold-to-set" feature, but there should
also be a feature like on my cell phone (lock keypad) where it's a
combination of pressing 2-buttons to unlock, then use the "hold-to-set".
