...they tend to scratch surprisingly easy, for a watch marketed as an "adventurer's side-kick".  The clasp got marked up pretty quick, from every hard surface, i rested my wrist on (desk, table, counter).  The crown got a few easy nicks as well.  If you are going in the wilderness, the gym, or doing anything more active, make sure to cover the watch with a sweat band, long sleeve, etc.  The sapphire crystal face might be scratch resistant but all the metal surrounding it is so susceptible, that makes it pointless.

The tech functions work as expected and the watch is a lot easier to operate than most other reviews lead one to believe.  I tested all functions and never had to refer back to the manual, after the initial read.
- The compass is extremely sensitive/accurate
- A very convenient feature is the 4-second warning beeps before the alarm or count-down timer go off.
- The altitude and barometric pressure are bit hard to deal with, since they get off-set so easy.  My advice: set your altitude just as you set out to use the function, so you know that the readings are as accurate as possible.

I love the fact that this looks like most other sport/casual watches, until you look closer.  It's not too flashy but it's packed full with features.  The watch is EXTREMELY visually appealing and the red night light gives it something extra.

Sizing the rubber strap was very easy: DO NOT PAY MONEY for such an easy task.  Thumb tack and sharp knife did the job for me.
