2 mo.s in and it's working great!! I really love being able to see the tide status with just a glance. As a sailor, that alone makes it worth it. The compass is awesome, and I really like the look and feel. This is a serious multi-tool type watch, and I hope to have it on my wrist for many years to come.

This review is from: Timex Men's T49709 E-InstrumentsTM Black Case and Black IP Bracelet E-Tied-Temp-Compass Expedition Watch (Watch)

I have never had a watch where I have recieved so many compliments.

People have come right out and said "that watch is awesome" or "that thing must have been expensive" but truth be told neither is true.

I do love the design and, as vein as it may be, that's why I bought the watch. The mechanics on the other hand are laughable.

The compass broke about 3 months after purchase. Now north is always within 2 or 3 degrees in whatever direction the watch is facing.

The Thermometer, which is not thermally protected from your body heat measures a combination of that and the air temperature. Being that it is surrounded in a steel watch case it will measure the air temperature if you leave it off for 30 pluss minutes.

The Tidal Tracking function is fine, but of course need to be constantly adjusted or the accurancy quickly diminishes.

In the end it is a great looking, perfectly function watch... not a compass, nor a thermometer, nor a tidal tracker.

3.0 out of 5 stars Complicated watch, good till I broke it., September 16, 2009

It was a good watch, big and hard to program but other than that it worked well, the temperature is a median between your arm and the outside air. I don't spend much time in tidal areas so I am unsure how well that function worked. On a recent excursion to Alaska I broke the watch. I had previously bent the shafts on the buttons and somehow this trip the winding mechanism either fell off or broke off, and the watch stopped working. I may be able to replace this piece but I'm not sure I like the watch enough to go through the trouble. Analog looks classy but a piece with this many features could benefit from some digital additions.
