 Rubber trimming falls apart in 2.5 years. July 14, 2010
MaddogChiu (Nor Cal, United States)
The watch has been good to me as I travelled to countries and gone skiing. I am able to see my altimeter and compass as a guide to know how high and where I was.
A few months after I go this watch as a gift, I found the same watch (but used) on sale at the REI Used Gear sale. The reason why the previous owner returned it was because the side rubber trimming of the watch was peeling off. After 2.5 years using the watch, mine is experiencing the same problem. Needless to say, I was not shocked that it happened.
For a watch over $150, I would expect a better quality than that, especially when it's suppose to be an outdoor watch implying that it should be durable.

I owned a Highgear Axis for a few months. Several times a month, sometimes several times in a week, the barometer would stop working and the graph would be blank. The only way to fix this was to reboot the watch by holding all the buttons down, and thus lose any data, and of course you have to reset the time, compass, altitude, alarms, etc. when you do this.
I called tech support and they told me, and I quote "It's normal to have to reboot your watch this often. It's like a computer."
Quality? They've heard of it.
And silly me, I never even heard of having to reboot a watch before Highgear told me this. I RMA'd it, got it back, same thing, so I exchanged it, but they were all like this. Anyway, the battery died after 6 months and when I tried to have it replaced at wal-mart (big mistake) they completely tore the insides of the watch up and it never worked again, so that ended that. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I doubt they've done anything to improve their reliability, so buyer beware.
