 Beware! April 16, 2008
If you do not buy this watch from one of the retailers listed on High Gear's website, the watch is not warrantied! Their customer service is exceptionally unhelpful. The quality is poor enough you will need the warranty...or look at another brand.
I had a problem with the buttons not working, so I contacted High Gear for a return authorization number. They refused the return authorization under warranty because "it was not purchased from an authorized High Gear dealer". Who knew? I perused their website with this new tidbit of information, and did not see Amazon listed as an "authorized on-line dealer". I contacted the BBB, and they were unable to convince High Gear to honor the warranty.
 Band falls apart April 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I echo some of the other comments that noted problems with the wristband on this watch. On this watch and others like some of the Nike Triax, the watch has a rubber/plastic piece that runs around the perimeter of the watch and connects with the band. On mine, the point of connection between the watch and band deteriorated after 1-2 years. I understand it can't be fixed. So the watch is useless. Up until this, it had worked pretty well.
Nice features, looks nice, falls apart March 23, 2008
I do a lot of skiing, biking & outdoor activities and this looked like the perfect watch to have. It is. The watch has lots of great features for tracking vertical feet skied, checking the altitude and things like that. Unfortunately the plastic piece around the face of the watch near the band peels off the face of the watch. This was after about a year of wearing it when skiing and biking as well as daily use. While this doesn't make it unusable, you just don't expect a relatively high end watch to fall apart.
Despite the nice menu of features and otherwise quality construction, if you want a watch that has great features, looks nice and does not come apart you should look elsewhere.
 Good value for the price February 8, 2008

You can spend a lot more money for products with these features. For the price, I think the value is excellent.
To address a couple of complaints that people have -
Temperature tends to reflect body temperature. Not particularly helpful. You have to take it off your wrist to get ambient temperature.
The altimeter/pressure function works well. Altitude will always vary based on barometric pressure. The watch lets you save three known altitudes as a reference. That way, you can take your known altitudes (say home, work, and some other place), and set the watch to that, so that barometric pressure becomes accurate.
I'm happy with this purchase. It does what I expect.
 Very Happy ! February 8, 2008
Very happy with the watch - everything as advertised. I received prompt shipping, great price. Lots of bells and whistles on this watch!
