Nice watch

By Benjamin Tupper Ranked #386 - Altimeters July 14, 2009

I have had the vector for a few years now and have used it on several hiking trips and used it primarily on expeditions in Africa. This puppy is bombproof! The face is extremely large and took some getting used to but once you wear it for a bit it starts to be a part of you and you feel naked without it. To echo other people, make sure to regularly re-calibrate the compass and barometer for accurate readings. It jumps around a bit but great for estimating altitude and pressure. Compass has been hit or miss for me but this is the case with most electronic compasses. An electronic compass will never be as accurate as a regular compass, so get one of those! I had to change the battery twice but found a replacement at my local gear shop so no headache there. Overall, great watch with some slick features, a great companion in the mountains!
