I was apalled when I ripped open the package to see my brand new watch was a toy. Nothing about it looked like a watch that someone might use to make there way out of a vast wilderness. Granted, my expectations may have been high, but this thing was a piece of plastic ca ca. Plastic all over, not at all what I expected in a quality watch from Casio. I promptly returned it to Amazon. I would caution anyone considering buying this watch from doing so if they are looking for something that is tough and sturdy and will hold up to some kind of wear and tear. I was highly disappointed. It was the first time I had returned anything to Amazon in 8 years of doing business with them.

Practico deportes acuaticos y el reloj funciona muy bien el compass es de buena calidad facil de usar y calibrar compre 2 este modelo y el de correa tejida ambos son de igual calidad aunque el de correa tejida se ajusta mas a mi gusto pero tambien por algo mas de dinero

The watch functions well disregarding the obvious flaw of having to remove the watch to let it get to ambient temperature. It just looks a little on the cheap side. looks more like a $20 watch rather than one that costs nearly $50.

…If you really want to buy a good camping watch PAG40-3V from Casio is the best.

OK, the compass in the watch idea. Great. However: the MAJOR FLAW in this approach is that the compass is acutely sensitive to the angle of presentation such that actually using it for anything beyond rough cardinal direction is bound to get you only further lost and confused. Do not even attempt to use it as a hand bearing compass and NEVER EVER try to use it on a boat. Frankly, I think you could have as much or more accuracy using moss on trees, the north star, sunrise/sunset, even forecast wind direction (migratory direction of newts for christsakes). I love a product that can give you three significant digits of utterly misleading information at a time when you really might have wanted to rely on it. It is kinda like reading a broken clock. Just get a GPS and be done with it. Or how about a plain old compass. Face it, this is a digital watch with countup/countdown timers, dual time zone and a backlit screen – and a random direction generator that suffers from truthiness. It provides the comforting illusion that at any moment, you can pull a MacGiver move and know your heading (+/- 90 degrees). That good enough for you? Then by all means buy it. Oh, and get a personal EPIRB too, you’ll need it.
