Casio Men's SGW100-1V Digital Compass Twin Sensor Sport Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great watch. About accuracy: After performing the compass calibration, I can say it is fairly accurate. I always get acceptable direction of where the north should be. Temperature is also accurate but it is true, you need to take off the watch for about 10 to 15 min to get a good reading. If not, then you get a constant 31 degrees.
About size, I think it does has a very good size, big numbers, clear display and very nice to press buttons.
Band is resin.
I gave 4 stars because I think alarm is dim but that is just a personal point of view.
Very nice to use. In all, I am happy with my purchase.
Update dic 21 08: Yes, time is display normally in the central area of the screen, where the 330° is shown on picture. This picture here in amazon shows the compass mode. I have added some images for size and display info.

Timex Men's T49698 Analog Stainless Steel Rubber Strap Expedition Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like watches. When I got my TAG, I told myself, "this is it, I never need to buy another watch." Well, I have added 3 more watches since then. I have 1 each of TAG, Swiss Army, Gucci, Tudor, Nike, and Swatch, but I have 4 Timex's.
This Timex, #T49698 has a simple black face with easy to read numbers and very cool orange hands and numbers. I always require a date function as well as 3 hands on my analog watches, which this Timex has. REI was the only store to carry this watch last year so I asked for it as a Christmas present.
The time has remained accurate from the time I set it, the strap is reasonably comfortable, the date is easy to set and the Indiglo allows for easy night time viewing. I only wish the crown didn't jab into my wrist as much, but a lot of my watches do the same thing. The hour and minute hands are devoid of luminescent paint so the Indiglo is a must for low-light viewing. On a trivial note, the second hand ticking, sounds more like a "ting" rather than a "tick." It is a very attractive watch with a simple design and great orange accents.
The #T49698 Timex is a great deal on Amazon. REI sold it for much more and charged taxes and shipping. Something about Timex watches really allow me to enjoy them. I think it is mainly due to the terrific value. How much better can my TAG tell time than this Timex? How good my TAG looks compared to this Timex is completely subjective. In fact, none of my Timex watches have ever needed service, but my TAG has and it also costs me $50 to replace the battery, which I've had to do every 12-14 months. Hmm, that's like getting a new Timex every 12-14 months. I guess I love my Timex. I really liked the Ironman series watches for a long time, but my last 2 Timex's have been the Expedition series.

Timex T73751 Black Grip Clip Digital Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this watch in December 2005 to use as a reliable but cheap timepiece during snowmobile tours in Yellowstone National Park. For two years, me and this watch experienced temeratures reaching -20 F plus... though average was probably 15 F. Still, it ran true. I even managed to wash it in my laundry, to no ill.
I'm now seeking a new watch, only because I cannot find a way to relplace the battery on this one. And I find myself unwilling to buy a different watch. It has treated me very well for its price, and so, I will buy the same watch for the same price. Thanks for the great all season product.

Timex Men's T42761 Expedition Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very fine watch that I got for navigating the dense woods behind our new house -- it's easy to get turned around.
First -- I can see how this band might not outlive a Redwood, but it's not something to panic over, as another reviewer here seems to have done. In fact, I did my "due diligence," went to Timex's website, and clicked on their official store link to try to see if new bands were available. I didn't see the band for this watch.
So, I fired off an email to Timex to ask this question -- if this band can't be replaced, the watch needs to be returned, so are replacement bands available? Here's the response I got in UNDER TWO HOURS:
"Thank you for your inquiry. You can call us at 1-800-448-4639 to order a replacement band for your watch. The cost will be $8.00-$12.00, plus any applicable tax. Please have your watch with you when you call. We sell band by the original style number of the watch, this is a replaceable band, I am not sure why the people you have mentions in the email did not call Timex to find out where to get the band. Voguestrap makes replacement bands, but not for unique watches like some of the newer Timex watches. You can order 42761 any time you need a new band."
Fears allayed. This is a fine watch. The 3 official alarms plus a timer alarm, hydration reminder for hiking, 5 "occasion" alarms should give even the most alarmed people enough to fiddle with. The ability to calibrate the watch to either Magnetic or True North is probably more than I need, but it's a nifty feature for the dedicated hiker.
The Indiglo on this watch seems to be a bit of a battery-saver type. It doesn't illuminate the skyline as some I've seen, but it does work well.Generally, the display is black on the LCD background, but pressing the Indiglo button changes the black to fluorescent blue -- not the background, just the displayed numbers and characters. Not usable as a flashlight, but nothing to scoff at and plainly visible. Also, if you hold down the Indiglo button, it turns on a "night" setting so that the Indiglo feature activates each time a button is pressed. Handy.
With 4 buttons (5 counting the Indiglo) to press for settings, it takes a little practice to remember which move the settings up, which down, and which from hour to minute to second, etc. But there's not a steep learning curve here as some have hinted in other reviews on other variants of this watch.
The buttons are a bit hard to press, and they're clearly designed to be pressed while there is some resistance against pressing them -- i.e., it is designed to be set while worn on the arm. I do a lot of free-handing these buttons to use the timer, etc., while wearing another watch, and I admit that they are a bit hard to press, and two hands are better than one. Nonetheless, I'm nitpicking here. All around, a very fine watch, even if the band is a bit fragile looking, though I've had it for 2 weeks now, and I can't say it's as fragile as I had feared by reading the other review.
