I ordered this watch based solely on the description and product photo. Compared to descriptions of other compass watches, I guessed it would be a more reasonably sized watch than one with an altimeter (one reviewer described as very thick). I was very pleased when I opened the box - for a sport watch it was appealing. However, I did have a couple issues that disappointed me. First was the stem coming completely out of the watch and falling on the floor when the little elastic stop (prevents running the battery down before delivery) was removed. I reinserted the stem - turned a couple times - it stayed in and functioned to set the watch, date and compass. I can only assume the water resistant capabilities have not been compromised. Second - calibrating the compass is a chore (to say the least). I finally got it to read somewhat near correct (+/- 30 degrees or so) by starting the calibration process and turning myself in a circle (twice). Overall: keeps time, easy to read at night, and the compass is a nice toy that only provides relative direction.Product Description
