CLOSED:Timex's E-Tide Temp Compass (Festive R&G)

I've always been very partial to Timex watches. One of my favorite watches back in India was a sturdy, simple looking Timex watch. I've dropped it several times, it has fallen into water on accident on more than one occasion, it has collided with several hard surfaces BUT it remained a faithful time informant for over three years. I still have the watch with me here and the only reason I don't wear it is the battery has died out on me and I personally don't want to entrust my watch to any of the stores to open out only because I'm sentimentally very attached to it and only trust a small local watch repair chap back at home. (Crazy.... but then that's me!)

That being said, I'm always game to try out any Timex product only because I've personally experienced a great product and know that this is a brand I've been satisfied with. This time round though, it was Hubby who was given the opportunity to review a watch from Timex's Outdoor and Expedition line.

Take a look at Timex's multi functional E-Tide Temp Compass watch...

If your husband/fiance/son/relative/friend is an outdoorsy type of guy who loves an adventure and really gets into a lot of activity...well then the E-Tide Temp Compass is just the watch for him. It can

• Tell the time (I'm sure you knew that already!)
• Help you read the time in darkness with the 'INDIGLO night light with night mode' feature. (This is not very sharp unlike some watches that really light up...you would need to put a little effort into reading the time in the dark)
  
• Display the date
• Tell you the temperature outdoors
• Point you in the right direction with its compass feature
• Even measure air and water temperature.
• Tell you whether you're up for a high tide or low tide situation.
  
• Stay protected in water (supposedly water resistant for upto 100 meters...we're not bold enough to leave the watch immersed in water for a long interval of time!)
  

Here are some additional product features to absorb...


I scored some brownie points with this watch and though Hubby may never use the tide measurement functions nor the compass functions on a daily basis, I do know he is satisfied with the watch overall.

Remember..it may take a little time and fiddling around to get used to all the functions but once you figure out how to use all the little knobs, you're ready to do more than just tell the time!
