I've owned several Timex watches over the years, and they all had a similar problem.  The crown when you pull it out half-way to set the date just would not work after a while.  And now, with the added features of this one, they all seem to go wrong.  Heck, it won't even keep the correct time any more.  The compass only works if you set it on a completely flat, level surface, and the temp is only accurate if you leave it off your wrist for an hour or so.  Whats the point in having a wristwatch with features that only (barely) work when you take it off?  Timex just doesnt make quality products, I just never knew it until I bought a watch that was actually made well.
