Poor Performance

The style, size and weight of this watch are great. It's huge, but, for all of the functions it was supposed to have, that is fine. The size made the temp easy to read hanging from the top of the tent before you had to get out of the bag in the morning.
Bought this on SAC 8 months ago, because it was cheap. 5 months ago, the barometer, altimeter and temp gauge stopped working. at all. No resets or batteries could change it. This morning, the watch's time was even off by 7 hours, and one of the buttons had stuck, and the entire thing would not respond to anything.
In other words, it's cheap for a reason. I do not recommend this purchase.
