 help with compass calibrationDec 06, 2009
I had this watch for about 3 years. I find the compass calibration non-intuitive. I haven't used it for over a year, and now I wanted to use it. Unfortunately, I lost the manual, and I couldn't figure out how to calibrate the compass. I went to the Timex website and find it totally useless. The website doesn't contain any instructions how to calibrate. Can anyone of you help me out? Would appreciate it.

The watch works well but the compass hand is indistinguishable from the time hands, increasing the chance of error.

 great all around watchJul 10, 2007
This is the watch I wear most often. No matter if I'm dressed up or dressed down, it always looks solid and classy. It certainly fits very comfortably and is easy to wear overnight. The backlighting is excellent for being able to see in the dark, either directly in semi-dark room, or residual glow for dark-adapted eyes. The red-blue compass needle makes for a very cool looking visual element on the watch, but proves to be very handy, especially when driving in unfamiliar areas.

 OK Watch, Useless CompassFeb 07, 2007
All I can say about this watch is that it keeps time and has a nice Indiglo backlight. The compass is useless. Every time I've calibrated the compass it seems at first to be OK, but a few days later it's way off again. I made sure not to store it near any metallic or magnetic objects, but it still goes bonkers. Now it won't even calibrate any more - when I rotate the watch 360 degrees in the horizontal plane after "calibration", the compass needle won't turn a complete circle. Yeah, this watch is much cheaper than other compass watches, but the compass is useless and it's expensive for a cheap watch. If you want a compass watch that works, get a Casio or Suunto - much more money but actually functional.

Outdoor watchFeb 01, 2007
I bought this one to add to a starting collection of compass-watches. Well in term of functionnalities this is a very good watch. Reading is in a blink of an eye, the compass is very accurate but a little tricky to calibrate. Indiglo is the best for night reading but a little short when using the compass in real situation. Very comfortable to wear, fits all wrist (even wrists of guys who like to chop wood in the deep forest...)Beware the wristband is not standard and has to be replaced with one of the brand.
To Sum up, a very good item for its price like every timex expedition line of products.
