2.0 out of 5 stars Uncertain time keeping, March 24, 2006

I was anxious to receive this watch, as I was making a trip across the international date line. I was disappointed, as day after day it lost several minutes before I even left home. Each time it required several minutes of button pushing before it would re-synch, and even then it had to "see the sky" to synch. Once on my trip, it changed by about an hour and a half, and I nearly missed a plane. It went to the bottom of my suitcase for the rest of my trip, and I've asked for a refund.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works fine, July 11, 2007

Those who have the watch knows that it is a big watch and there are sync problems. But the sync problems go away with reading the book. Once I set my watch for Chicago and the sync signal for Chicago, my watch was fine. It would sync every day and I have had no complaints since. My only complaint is lack of on-line documentation. I don't carry the book with me and I'm afraid to lose it, because I have to force a resync on my watch, pressed to many buttons and made numerous unnecessary changes. So sitting at work, I can't change anything, I have to wait until I get home and read the book.

I too got one of these on Woot and mine does not receive the much vaunted radio signal to sync with the exact official time either...maybe Woot was saddled with defective units that have nothing to do with what Amazon has to offer, but you'd think that Fossil, no discount brand they, would produce a better product and police the distribution of clunkers.
