I've been using the watch for about three weeks now and am totally satisfied with it. I read some negative reviews about the compass but have not experienced any problem with it. I did the initial calibration and seem to be getting accurate enough readings in the car, the house and outside. I didn't bother with the magnetic pole calibration as I don't need absolute accuracy. The dial is a nice size - very easy to read - and its illumination is much better that other watches that use a tiny light under the crystal. It has a masculine look without being bulky. I'm doubt that I'll ever need the 4 alarms but they can't hurt. The temperature readings are accurate as long as its been off your wrist for a few minutes - I don't know how this issue can be avoided on any watch.

The strap is comfortable and sturdy. I haven't taken the band off to see how solid it's connection is to the base.

I can't determine how the battery life will be in the short amount of time I've owned it.  So far my overall satisfaction is high.
