from FT Drum Date Reviewed: June 8, 2003 Strengths: This was the first model (bought in 95), it works well (but once I had the batteries changed they began dieing after about 8 mos) it has never not worked. It's a cool thing to have, but most people won't use it to it's fullest. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $189.00 Similar Products Used: Tissot T-Touch Bike Setup: marin Rock Springs (not even close to factory)

from Altadena Date Reviewed: February 28, 2003 Strengths: All the functions, of course Weaknesses: Ok, here it goes: the compass reads your bearing and then stops. I would rather is continuously read (as you turned your body for example) but instead it flashes while it reads, then just locks in on your reading. You have to hit the button if you want a new reading. obviously the barometer reliant altitude measuring is a bit of a pain. BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS: there are two, and you can't do anything about them. First, the metal face around the glass sits a tiny bit above the glass, you can slip your fingernail between the glass and the metal case. I have to imagine that sand and dirt is going to get in here and never come out. Especially if you go to the beach or put you hand in a dirty puddle. Second: the band is not a normal watch band. I can't really explain it but it doesn't use your usual watch pin. This means that you can't put just any band on it. I like The BAnd (brand, you know the one) and you can't use it here. I say go with the Timex Helix. I'm going to sell this and get the Timex.

from Redmond, WA, USA Date Reviewed: September 3, 2002 Strengths: The watch does a lot. Altitude, temp, time, alarm, etc. Altitude is accurate (subject to changes in weather). Weaknesses: Altitude updates slowly. Sometimes I'm up and over a hill between readings. Watch is more designed for hiking. Temperature tends to be skin temperature. To get accurate temp I need to strap to bicycle. Took a while to learn to use. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: down Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $190.00 Purchased At: REI

from Houston, TX, USA Date Reviewed: May 15, 2000 Strengths: It's a Casio. Triple Sensor (English and Metric units): Compass (stores five data points), Thermometer, Altimeter (stores max and min with date/time); shows barometric pressure over past 24 hrs; all basic watch functions; altitude alarm; five alarms plus hourly chime; stopwatch function with lap time; water resistant to 100M; all measurement functions can be adjusted for baselining. I used the compass feature extensively when traveling in Tokyo and Hong Kong to keep my bearings when exiting from the subway systems. New models have indiglo-type backlighting, which I wish mine had, but mine was the first generation Pathfinder. Weaknesses: As mentioned in another review, all its measurements are based on barometric pressure and temperature, so sudden changes in weather can affect readings. Temperature reads ambient skin temperature, but it can be adjusted to account for that. It's size may take some getting used to for those with small wrists, but it's not that big a deal. I think the new ones come with nylon/leather wrist straps, which are preferable to the resin band that I have (I'm on my third in the past four years). It would be nice if they came in metal casings. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Casio Databank watch. Bike Setup: Jeep Wrangler SE -- please no flames from those of you who can afford the name brand bikes. :)
