Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm a huge fan of my Timex "Digital Expedition Chrono Alarm Timer Watch", but occasionally having a compass would be handy.And indeed, the compass on this watch works pretty well.But I'll probably never wear the thing, because it's so poorly designed as a watch.
The buttons are large.I don't much care for them, but they might be nice for someone with limited dexterity.The ridiculous movable ring has no real purpose, makes the watch more bulky, and makes the wearer look stupid.OK, I'm being picky and if these were the watch's only flaws I'd be happy with it.
I just can't understand putting such a pathetic user interface on this watch.My other Timex watch has "+" and "-" buttons for setting the time, timer, and alarm.But not this watch.If you want a 1 minute timer but it was previously set to 2 minutes, you have to cycle through 99 minutes to get back to 1.And your only option is integer minutes, 1 through 99.
There's a single alarm, which will sound at the same time every day.I don't think I'd use it much, since I'd have to remember to set it for my weekday and weekend wakeup times.(My other Timex has three alarms, with daily, weekday, and weekend settings.)
There's no alternate time zone, which I use a lot on my other Timex.
The top right button is dedicated to the compass.That really seems dumb -- do you really need one-touch heading while you're setting the time?Instead, they should use that button for something useful like "+" and "-" for setting times.
The "indiglo" light is inferior to the one on my other Timex.It works fine in dark conditions, but it can be difficult to read in some dim light conditions.
