For some reason, I got the itch to get a massively multifunction watch. I just thought it’d be the cats meow to have a digital compass in the watch. Not that I get lost that often (it would have been a BIG help while I was in New York back in Jan. of 2006, got myself all sorts of turned around) but it would still be cool if I had it camping or hiking (neither of which we really did this summer anyway). Well, I looked around and finally scratched that itch with this watch. And I really like this one. The size is almost laughable, but part of what I like about it. The functions are cool (full list below) and I have yet to figure all of them out. It will keep me busy for a while.
