Compass consistently fails

By Colorado Hiker

from Colorado

About Me Avid outdoorsman

Pros

    Cons

    • Bulky
    • Compass fails

    Best Uses

    • Hiking in rugged terrain

    Comments about Timex WS4 “Widescreen” Altimeter Watch:

    I bought mine in Aug 2010. The compass failed around 6 months later. Timex sent a new watch. Now, April 2012, the compass has failed again, but Timex wants $100 to do anything about it. I can buy a new one for about that price (which I won't - I'm not crazy).The symptoms of the failure match other users description: the compass reads erratically and is way off even after calibration.Don't buy this.

      The night light digital characters would benefit from greater width & illumination. In addition, a woven fabric or stitch would reinforce the band & preserve longevity. With regard to features & functionality, for the price, it is exceptional!

            Comments about Timex WS4 “Widescreen” Altimeter Watch:

            This watch is 100% accurate, time-wise, as well as ALL the other features! I have had it for a month now... and its still within 1 second of where I originally set it! Every time I check the barometer setting with the local setting, it is RIGHT ON! The Altimeter and Compass (and ALL the features), are also right on! This watch is NO TOY!

            Some of the reviews say its in-accurate or, too large... I think its GREAT! (And I'm a pilot, so I'm a total perfectionist)! It is VERY COMFORTABLE, and yes its large, but it feels GREAT! (VERY COMFORTABLE)!

            I like a large watch! (I normally wear ROLEX), in fact I have 4 ROLEX watches, but this Timex is much more accurate than any of the Rolex's, and much more comfortable too! (Not to mention, MUCH more capable and useful, with all the great features it has! (And these features work amazingly well)!

            If you look closely though, its the SILVER face watch you want to get! Its the one that comes with the REALLY NICE BAND! The other ones just have a regular rubber type band with a normal buckle.

            The SILVER FACE WS4, has the really cool, Velcro band, which is multi-functional! It is a great band and VERY COMFORTABLE! It is Velcro adjustable, but has a really neat buckle, just like a Rolex has! It is made so you could adjust it larger, quickly, to wear outside your jacket. Where you will get an accurate outside temperature.

            Note that this watch tells the outside temperature, but it (like all the temperature watches), is affected by your body temperature. If you take it off at night and have it on your nightstand, THEN it will register the accurate temp. (and by the way, its right on)! Or... If you adjust the band to wear it outside your jacket it will also give you an accurate temperature reading.

            So... Don't listen to the bad reviews on this watch! Its BETTER than any watch I've ever owned! TOTALLY ACCURATE in every way, TOTALLY COMFORTABLE, and its a GREAT BUY! Its also very easy to understand, once you work with it a little!

            Like I say... I'm a total perfectionist! I am a licensed pilot of Airplanes, Helicopters, Gliders, and I am also a Hang Gliding Instructor, and I own my own Hang Gliding School. I am very discriminating, and I find this watch to be TOTALLY worth the price!

            I was very pleasantly surprised by the great quality and functionality of this great watch! If you are thinking about this purchase... "Just Do It"! You wont be sorry!

              The reviews said it was large but went on to say that it still fit well. It is too big for a watch. Would be useful hooked onto a backpack or for short, special uses.
