I got this watch for Christmas and so far it has been a pretty good one. Everything seems to work as expected other than the compass. I didn't realize the compass only stays on the actual compass setting for 20 seconds at a time then shuts down, The book says its for battery drainage? I could deal with that but I also have an issue with it keeping the calibration and I have had to reset it almost every two to three times I use it? rendering it pretty much unreliable in my mind. I don't depend on the compass just thought it would be a nice luxury to have. Has some nice features on it, Not likely to forget the anniversary again, it tells me its coming, Along with birthdays or anything else I program it to tell me. Overall just not happy with the compass feature. I haven't heard any other complaints about it so I wouldn't think its an inherent issue, just the usual luck that follows me around........ lol.
