Review of Timex Men's Expedition Digital Compass Watch #T77862

There are a number of Timex watches that are far more intuitive to use. These other newer watches don't require directions for use. As an example, the 77862 has no reset feature for the Timer. What? I can't reset it? That's correct! To get it back to 1 minute, you have to manually toggle through the minutes up to 99 minutes in order to get it back to 1 minute. Stupid, huh?

The indiglo light should stay on for 3 seconds when ever the indiglo button is pressed, but again this is not the case. You must hold this button down in order to keep the light on. Other Timex watches have the 3-second On feature but not this one. Ok, how about having plus and minus buttons for setting stuff. Nope, not this model, but other Timex models have this feature. And, this is a very nice feature on other Timex watches.

Not to say I hate this watch, but I'm getting there. It is very accurate and the band is far more comfortable then the rubber/plastic types.
