Don't let the low price fool you, this is a nice watch. It looks good and keeps accurate time. The compass feature works great and has come in handy on several occasions. I had never heard of the Tech 4 0 watch brand before but I would recommend this to anyone.

I never write reviews...However, I had to write one on this little gem. This is one of the coolest watches (and for the price, you cant beat) i have in my collection. I currently have several watches from the Tissot compass touchscreen and several others. This by far, with using other analog compass, is the most accurate after you calibrate. Nice large read-out along with a sublte indiglo while using the compass mode!
For this price, it is truly a steal.
I have recommended this watch to several friends of mine who love the watch as much as I.

If this baby gets destroyed for some reason...I will buy another without hesitation.

One Cool Watch that is not bulky at all.

A fellow Scouter had one of these at a leader training camp out and his worked great. He completed the orienteering course with it. However, I could not get the compass on the one I purchased to calibrate. I called the manufacturer and followed all of their instructions on calibrating but it still didn't work. I returned the watch to Amazon and was sent a new one. I could not get the compass on the new one to calibrate either. I returned that watch for a credit.

I just bought this. The watch works well - good controls. The only problem is: I'm having a hard time calibrating the compass. Just when I think it is correct it shows up incorrect or says I have to re-calibrate.

Watch and compass work good. The rubber wrist band is a bit bulky and the end of the strap catches of stuff, otherwise a 5 star.

Ordered it days before a trip to Alaska and was excited to have received it fairly fast. It is not as big as other watches and would have worked great on my rather small female wrist. However, it showed nothing in the display, even pushing all buttons, reading the instructions and calling tech support did not revive it. I assume the battery is dead, but who knows. Sent it back today.
