It has a lot of good features and I've noticed a few abnormalities: While ice sailing last winter @ -30 with a windchill of -60, I noticed a little condensation under the crystal. As soon as I got warmed up, it went away. Sometimes on the hour the alarm goes off at about 1/5 the volume when the alarm is intentionally set. I was getting a rash under the wrist band but when I loosened it up a little, it was fine. The day of the week field is "bleeding" a little. In spite of these anomalies, the watch keeps good time and all the functions appear as advertised.
