Good Sensor - minor robustness

By Martin Fritzsche Ranked #57 - Altimeters January 8, 2012

Navigation through the different menues is straightforward, the altitude sensor is quite accurate, even thouh it tends to overestimate the actual height.I used the watch a lot for ski touring and mountain biking. A major drawback is the mediocre qualitiy of the attachements of the wristband to the watch. Without applying too much force when putting on the watch it ripped out of its fixations. Due to the fact that it is all plastic it can not be be fixed. And this is already the second watch of this type I bought. With the first one the experience was similar: both metal and plastic parts loosened an fell off. Overall not a watch which I can sincerely recommend.
