 Ultimate Instrument???....Take My Word For It ! ! ! YES October 1, 2008
Timex Men's Expedition E-Instruments Compass Tide Temperature Watch #T45601
When You're Fishing...Who checks the time?.. BUT, having run aground a few times & replacing bent props... I decided I needed something reliable, that I could readily & easily check to make sure I had enough water to to get home!
Tide Tables, Time Clocks..Leave them at home! This thing comes with you!
Once set up to your local tides, this instrument stays accurate..(Periodic checks & adjustment may be necessary to compensate for minor moon, coastal & weather 'blips')
The other excellent features work too..
Compass is accurate..(satnav confirmed)
Temperature feature.. tends to read high..but acceptable &.. if you can read it..You're not Hypothermic!
Date..Luminescent Hands & Hours..Indiglo Backlight....
Looks Great if you like 'LARGE' watches, but really comfortable to wear..& certainly inspires people to pass comment...........
OH! AND IT TELLS THE TIME!
I Love It!!!.. One of the best 'MARINE' instruments I own!!!
Buy One.. & I'll bet you'll want to buy another!!!
 Very cool, very big, not very well made September 24, 2008

It was time for a watch. I'd been reading about GPS and compass watches, and came across this one that was very reasonably priced considering what it delivers.
So far I have to say it's been "OK".
Pros:
I like the size of the watch (yes, it's huge), and it rides comfortably on my wrist. The compass seems to work well enough, although it must be carefully calibrated away from any interfering signals or metallic objects. The tide clock is OK but you need to update it weekly to account for small changes in the moon cycle - not a problem, and it came in handy on boat trips in tidal zones.
Cons:
The thermometer just doesn't work well. I can live with it reading a few degrees high when its on my wrist, but even after sitting overnight on my bureau it registers a good 10 degrees hotter than actual. I can buy a 5 dollar thermometer that does a better job than this! At night, and sometimes during the day, the extra "hands" can make it hard to tell the time at a glance. You have to study the watch a bit to make sure you are not looking at the compass/tide/temp indicator. These are really minor quibbles, but buyer beware. But the one thing that really bothered me was the fact that the small rod that holds the watch to the band has worked loose after only a couple of weeks, and it looks like a new part will be required. It's disappointing to find such a fundamental bit of hardware on a not-inexpensive watch failing so soon.
So in the end, I like it. I think it's good looking, and it certainly keeps time well. The extra features are fun and occasionally useful. I'd buy another one.

Instructions are easily followed. Backlight is effective. Watch is immensely practical. A good purchase.
Great design, but big and heavy May 1, 2008

I'm an average sized guy and this watch is HUGE on my wrist - prospective buyers should take this into consideration... I love the design and the features, however it definitely looks awkward on my wrist and I am not sure how often I will actually wear it. It is also heavier than a "normal" watch. I suppose it needed to be this big, as if the watch face was any smaller then sacrifices would have to have been made with all of the little markings for the compass, temperature, and tide readings. Oh well, I did not pay full manufacturer's price so I guess I shouldn't complain, but this is not the "everyday" watch that I hoped it would be.

I get lots of compliments on this watch. It is heavier than average, but it looks nice and has a quality leather strap. Press the compass button and the needle points north. Press the temperature button and the needle indicates temperature, although this function works best if you remove the watch from your wrist, otherwise your body heat will affect the reading.
