2.0 out of 5 stars Neat, small and decent functionality, questionable quality, February 3, 2004

By	Spec (NY United States) - See all my reviews

Had to return the first one due to non-functioning thermo and fault compass. Small is nice for hanging it on keys or pack, but the same smallness makes it a little hard to opwerate one handed. I also have a Brunton compass that fits the hajnd much nicer. We'll see how long the 2nd one lasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent quality, November 26, 2003

By	merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Really well made and solid feeling. Easy to use (has good instructions too). Small enough to clip onto the fanny pack or backpack. Numbers are big enough to easily read. Looks cool too :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not easy to use, can't recommend...., February 24, 2006

By	Brian Stadtmiller "power-user" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Overall, not terribly happy with this units user interface and design. The spartan instructions require pressing buttons referred to in the manual as "SW1" SW2" etc, but they are not labeled as such on the device. You toggle through modes that are abreviated on the display with just 2 letters to tell you what they are ("TR" "CH" what??) Just an unfreindly interface all around. Look for a better unit.
