 Highgear Axis Model 20037 Watch with Altimeter, Ba... November 6, 2007

Bikesomewhere organized this within days to Australia. Wish I could buy everything through them. Would be so much easier. Watch is so, so
 Ok, but not great September 30, 2007
I got this watch primarily for hiking and exercise activities. First the pros: the watch looks nice. The styling is better than that of, say, Timex, and the face is easy to read. But there are more cons than pros, unfortunately. The band looks flimsy. I'm not sure it will hold out under my use. The stopwatch (which I use a lot) is awkward to use -- the lap button is on the side (should have been the face button, because it's easier to get at), and the reset button is shared with the backlight, which makes unnecessary use of the battery power (why didn't they share that function with the stop button?). The temperature reads somewhere between ambient and body temperature. The barometer and altimeter require such frequent calibration that I'll probably never use them. Still making up my mind whether to keep it, or to send it back.
 cool, but klunky... August 4, 2007

I purchased this watch for my husband's birthday--since it was an REI Expert Pick and he is an REI fan...
The watch has cool features and all, but its really thick. It's having a Dell XPS on your wrist.
He works with computers, but has to take it off because it gets caught on everything.
He's also a triathlete, boy, did I get him the wrong one.
How to replace battery on older Axis June 24, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Battery replacement on the older models appears to be near impossible, but here's how I figured out how to do it. It's tricky and you run the risk of damaging the unit. To replace battery:
0. Don't buy watch and stop reading, but if you already have one and the battery is toast:
1. Remove tiny screws on back of watch.
2. Carefully pry metal backplate up with a thin knife near where the band connects (the gasket is farther from the edge at this point), just enough to slip a small, sturdier screwdriver under plate. Careful not to insert the knife too far or you'll nick the gasket inside, or jam it into the electronics. You'll likely nick the outer edge of the watch which will give it more character and charisma.
3. Twist the screwdriver just enough to lift the backplate a few mm up.
4. Grab the plate with a small pair of needlenose pliers and pull up and away from the case.
5. Remove even tinier screw that holds the flimsy metal cover over the battery.
6. Invert and tap the cover and battery out.
7. Replace dead battery with new CR2032.
8. Re-assemble, and note "Smart Outdoor Products" logo on the backplate. Marvel at this little oxymoronic point, and buy a different brand that is actually designed well when this watch finally dies (or when you jab the brain trying to pop off the back cover).
 A waste of Money June 19, 2007
Don't waste your money with this watch- in less than 2 months the altimeter, thermometer and barometer all stopped working- It is a nice looking watch and that's about it!
