Great functional watch. Watch your altitude as you do yoyo runs at the resort. Keep an eye on the barometric pressure as you peak bag some 14ers. Ensure that the 5k time is accurate with the stopwatch. Count on losing your way with the compass, its not very accurate and should be used as a backup. I go through about a battery a year, and the strap on this has been well for me over the last 5 years, up until last month. Luckily i wont need to replace it and the local jeweler can fix it. Great watch, i get compliments on it all the time. Compliments not only from gear whores, but also the fasion sensed ladies.
