 Nice piece, not only for sportsMay 31, 2007
By J. Stoll
First of all, I want to say that I was looking for a watch to be used during my business and vacation trips, not only for sports.
This is what I needed:
- Dual time
- Chronograph (which records 24hr or more, to track long flights)
- Alarms (I don't like using cell phones for this feature)
- Timer
- Compass (to be used in different cities)
- Large numbers
- Light
Additionally, I wanted
- Stylish design (I would sometimes "wear" the watch with business casual clothes)
- Not expensive (the watch would be used only in trips, I love my Tag Heuer for everyday use)
When I performed my search, this is what I found:
- Related to the compass feature, you find nice pieces which usually include thermometers and altimeters. I would have liked the thermometer feature, but according to a lot of reviews it is useless while you are wearing your watch. The altimeter function is something I don't need. Besides, these features are usually found in bulky units
- A watch like the Tissot T-Touch would have been a good choice but not only it costs more than $400 but it doesn't have neither light nor dual time.
- I found some Casio and Timex watches with the compass but they looked cheap and had bezels I didn't like and screens with too much information.
So, I found this Enduro Compass watch after reviewing many options. Things I like most:
- The design is really cool. The black and orange mix of colours gives this watch a high tech and modern look, within a clean architecture. I does not look neither cheap nor bulky.
- The band is not attached to the case by using pins. They are one single part. It makes the watch look beautiful
- The compass works perfectly. I took some readings and when compared to a map the bearings were very accurate
- The dual time is a nice feature. I have set mine to GMT time, so when flying I look at the map and by identifying the time zone I know what time it is at every location
- The chrono records up to 100hrs with multiple segments, ideal for tracking long flights
- Although the alarm is not very loud outdoors, in a hotel room it is loud enough
- The screen is big but very clean, with only the relevant information you want to review. Numbers are big and indigo light is very convenient.
So, finally, I found the watch that I needed. If you share some of my requirements, go for the highgear enduro compass. You will not be disappointed.

Sometimes you get more than you pay forAug 22, 2006
By Stuart B. Baum
"S. Baum"
I gave up trying to find a watch with both a compass and a thermometer, since none of the temperature watches seemed to work well (according to all the reviews). I then looked at only watches with compasses, plus the usual set of timers and alarms and stuff. The Enduro seemed to be the best combination of cost and value.
My first day with it, I was driving in an unfamiliar city at night on a poorly marked road and the compass helped me determine I was going the right direction. (Soon afterwards, I found a route sign.)
I have since used it kayaking to orient our group, so that feature seems to work fine.
The rest of the features are as easy to use as any watch I have had and I doubt I am using them to their full advantage.
Also, it's easy to read and I think it's one of the more stylish of this type of watch.
So... I feel like I got more than my money's worth here.
Note that I have had the watch for only one month now, so time (sorry) will tell. But, so far so good.

I absolutely love this watch, and amazons fast and reliable delivery of the product didnt hurt at all. I mainly got this watch so that it would be easier to orient myself if I was lost or giving direction via the compass but now that I have it I wouldnt know what I would do without it. A Great Purchase!

Nice Watch.Oct 10, 2007
By H. Dinh

The compass takes a little bit to get used to. Funny, nowhere that it shows how to read the compass. An example would be nice.
But I love this watch. Nice looking, soft rubber band.

 Great watch, not as rugged as it would seemFeb 12, 2009
By P. Grupe
I purchased this watch a little over a year ago, to help me out in my job as an outdoor educator. Really all I needed was an easy-to-use watch that I could take with me on outdoor trips and wouldn't be too hot. This watch provided exactly what I needed, and for over a year has been one of my favorite timepieces I've ever owned.
But after just a year, I'm realizing the reason this watch is in its permanently curved position (as if it's just waiting for a wrist to attach to): it can't be twisted or folded any other way if you want it to survive. I had the watch in my front pocket for a couple hours the other day, hoping to avoid a watch tan, and today I noticed the black rubber starting to separate from the center timepiece. There is a noticeable gap between the silver dial of the watch and the black rubber surrounding it, and I can see on the back of the watch face that the points of attachment have popped out and will not go back in. This is a great watch, but there is irony in its ability to stand up to so much wear and tear and then start to fall apart the moment I put it away in my pocket.
I thought about four stars, but in my mind a watch this expensive shouldn't be so feeble, and as much as I'd love to replace the watch with one just like it (assuming it continues to fall apart), I don't know if I can justify $80 on another watch that I now know has to be treated so carefully.
