Timex Expedition Digital Compass Watch
Customer Reviews
I have had this watch for over 3 years and all functions work fine.I did change the battery once a year ago, which is not easy to do without the right tiny tools. There is a spring clip which holds the battery in and must be released to remove the battery. Also, I have had trouble finding the CR1620 battery at local stores, but you can get it online. Last summer the watch suddenly reset itself to 1/1/00 several times for no apparent reason, but this has not happened again. I suspect the humidity got to it a bit. The compass is accurate and not hard to calibrate. If you like this watch, I suggest comparing it to the LaCrosse XG20 compass watch which is more stylish and perhaps more functional at about the same price.
I purchased my Timex Compass watch on ebay for $32 total with shipping. I opted for a nice Green/Teal color I never saw at any retail stores. The face is a bit larger on this watch at about 1 and 5/8" including the outer compass ring (but not too big!) So it may look overwhelming on skinny wrists! I suppose it has to be a bit larger for the digital Compass components.
The compass feature is fun. I set up and calibrated the watch per the instructions. A great feature is the declination setting to offset magnetic North from "True" North found on maps. You must hold the watch level to get accurate readings. I found this pretty easy to do by "eye" with no need for a flat table! If you're close to level, the readings will be fairly accurate. A small tilt won't throw off your readings much. It even worked well in my car and buildings where the instructions say the readings would not be accurate. I found them to be pretty close!
The Indiglo light, buttons, and functions all work well. A very nice watch from Timex.
