Avoid this watch

By Ranked #525 - Altimeters October 31, 2008

I have just initiated my third RMA request on this watch.
The first one the watch started falling apart. Weatherproof plastic on the side fell off and the buttons came loose - Less than 1 season of use.
They sent a replacement and before the end of the second season the pin assembly sheered off the watch so the strap fell off.
They replaced it again. The current watch has not been used this season and the display failed and it is useless.
Highgear has been responsive and done a good job with the replacements, but I'm not a fan of replacing an outdoor sports product every half season because it can't hold up to what I consider reasonable use.
