This is a great watch for those of you who want to be more than just a mannequin for high priced logos. With the altimeter, barometer, compass, sunrise/sunset times, and more, you will be able to get the most out of an expedition, day hike, or trip to the mall. I looked at the Tissot T-Touch, but with reviews of breakage, a 2 year battery life, and twice the price, why would anyone buy one? (oh yeah: the logo). My watch arrived already set to EST and, after 1/2 an hour of reading the manual and setting, my watch was completely calibrated to my location (latitude and longitude, Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, feet instead of meters, etc.). The altimeter works well, though you do have to calibrate it just before ascending as it measures changes in atmospheric pressure, as does the barometer for predicting weather. I can track changes in pressure on the watch that, for the most part, directly reflect the actual weather (a great thing for living in New England): rising pressure means improving weather, decreasing pressure means deteriorating weather. The watch is big but fits nicely on my 7 1/2" wrist. The case is not as heavy as I thought it would be and combined with the titanium band, it is actually lighter than many watches out there AND looks great with a t-shirt or under a dress shirt sleeve. The solar battery works great as well. My watch arrived at full charge and has not lost any juice, even though it mostly gets only intermittent light from overhead fluoros and indirect sunlight. The last thing I'll comment on is the atomic timekeeping function. The reception is strong even though I place the watch only near a window instead on directly in front of one as the manual suggests. Mine unfailing receives the signal at 2:04 every morning.

It's been 4 days since I've gotten a hold of this watch, so far it's a great watch for the price...My last watch was a casio purchased in 1989 and still works, the band broke & the screen cracked after a pretty bad bike fall, havn't been wearing a watch for over ~10yrs since cell phones became a portable accessory...Wasn't sure how a big watch would be on my 7.25" wrist, but it looks great...I will however get one of those Zulu bands to spice it up and have a firmer fit when backpacking...Did plenty of research for the last 4months and narrowed it down between this watch, the PAW1500T, and the suunto core. Decided on this one because of the slim/solar/atomic features and I'm very happy with my decision, so far. I think the PAW1500T has cool features as well that I'm sure I would of enjoyed being an avid fishermen, but I think the size wouldn't of allowed me to wear it everyday like I can with this one. At 1st I did not like the fact that they only had 30 preset "home cities", I had to chose NYC instead of something closer, but I did like the Lat/Long adjustment to my local town, which allows it to use the proper Sun Rise/Set values. I can't say enough of this feature alone changing to Sun Rise/Set mode I just love starring at the indicators telling me how much day light is left, it's so cool...I guess if it overlapped dusk/dawn readings would of been even better, but hey where do you draw the line, :)...I've played with but havn't adjusted anything else, I'm now reading the compass section and planning to calibrate that next. Will post more if I have anthing else to add...

I have multiple watches, with a lot of options. However, with this watch, I get more options, for a lower price. I considered the lower priced options, but with the solar battery, and atomic time sync, I could not pass this watch up. The time matched the other atomic watches I have to the second, and is VERY impressive. The weight and size is perfect, considering the fact that my other watches weigh almost twice as much. I HIGHLY recommend this watch.

ALL IN THIS WACHT IS GREAT. The only bad thing is that the pulse is easily scratched.

This is a great watch. It has many different functions and I especially like the fact that it lights up when turned 90 degrees. The only function that I do not believe works to well is the altimeter but since I do not use it that much it does not matter to me.

It would have been nice to know that the measurements like Altitude is affected by the temp. and Barometric pressure. So having to goto a location that you know the exact altitude to adjust the watch is inconvenient and that's only good for the current conditions and those will change. The temp meausrement on the watch is only acurate if it is not on your wrist. The ATOMIC time keeping is great, along with the SOLAR ability. The Compass is as good as a standard compass. It would have been a better watch if all those parameters of measuring ALT., TEMP., BARO. where correctly calculated.
