First impressions

The first impression that remains is that the watch, although large, fits well on the wrist, for which its weight is a major helper. It is light and almost imperceptible. Its shape is well designed and does not interfere with the performance of basic activities. Its negative display looks pretty good and is different from most watches you've seen. However, this also creates certain problems in high light, as it is still more difficult to distinguish from a normal positive display. Note that if you wear polarized glasses, the display turns completely black at a certain angle and is not visible. Overall the first impression of this watch and really quite good, as it seems to be made of high quality materials.

Description and functions

This peice has 5 button all around the body.The clock menu is easy to use and navigate. Offers a choice of 4 languages ​​- German, English, Spanish and French. Convenience is also created by the function of locking the buttons to avoid accidentally pressing them when using it.

The main functions of the watch are:

Barometer with storm alarm and weather change indicator

The barometer pressure sensor operates in four main modes, including an automatic one, in which the sensor in the watch senses whether it is moving or not and makes the automatic switch between altimeter and barometer. In this watch you will find, in addition to the altimeter and depth gauge with a range of up to ten meters, which is a feature that is not found in other models of this type of watch. The compass has a rotating ring that can be fixed to make it easier to determine the deviation from the course.

More interesting in general is the function of the clock to notify of an approaching storm, which succeeds thanks to the built-in barometer and thermometer, which determine the appropriate conditions for its creation.
