Comments about Timex Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch:

This is a good watch for keeping time and basic chrono function, but do not depend on the compass. The band is the biggest downer about this watch. It will wear out very quickly and because of design, you cannnot replace it unless you go through Timex and pay them to ship another at [$]. For the price, it is a decent watch. [...]

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Timex Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch:

    This is a great watch. It has gained only about 10 s in 6 months since I last set the time.
    The compass only can give a rough estimate of your heading but is still useful for general direction finding. Take a real magnetic compass at all times!

      Comments about Timex Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch:

      Being a raft guide and a Blacksmith if anything lasts more than a month or two with no problems... I am happy to say the least. After a season on the river and months in the shop the watch has worn well.

      The Strap is attached firmly to the watch and will not rip off your wrist as others that are held in merely by a simple spring-loaded pin.

      The compass is reasonably accurate and if you expect something more precise from a wrist mounted, electronic compass I don't know what to tell you.

      Multiple alarms with weekend/weekday/everyday settings.

      The nylon fabric does wear within a 2 weeks. However since it serves no purpose other than looks I simply melted the frayed ends and went about my life.

      Comments about Timex Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch:

      I like the watch and its functions all though I do not use all of them like the count down timer and multiple alarms. The digital compas is relativly accurate but I would not bank on it. The biggest downer is the watch band which I have not found a replacement for yet. I have scratched the face more than once relativly easily. If the watch band could be replaced easier I would probably purchase this watch again, I like the display with date, day, and time.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      This watch has served me well and has a nice digital compass. It is a bit hard to set the compass accurately and the band wears very easily, but the rest of the watch is great!

            This watch should soon be extinct. The strap absorbed sweat from my wrist and it retained the odor. Smelled like an armpit after only a couple uses. The band fell apart quickly and there are no good options to replace it.

              Comments about Timex Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch:

              The most important thing to me in a watch that I use outdoors is that I forget it's there until I need to use it. This is a very cheap and very comfortable watch with the added bonus of a general compass that can provide a quick general direction. I love it, whether backpacking or hunting, or sitting on the lake.
