Cheaper is not always better...

By Ranked #128 - Running Watches January 16, 2008

Don't get me wrong, the functions on the watch are quite easy to use, and they are pretty accurate. The biggest issues I found with this watch are one, the plastic housing where the straps meet the face. They are too weak to handle one year of outdoorsy activities. I'm on me second watch waiting for my third. And two, I'm waiting on my third watch because Highgear's warrenty/repair service is slower than molasses.
If this third watch cracks in the same place, I'll spend the extra money on a Suunto.
