User Review: Highgear Alterra

Rating: 
Price Paid: $125
Let me first say I really dig this watch. As with all wrist altimiter watches, consistant updating is required to maintain accuracy. The watch looks nice, is comfortable and has a good amount of features for your average joe alpine guy.
Now for the problem. I am not sure if my watch was just defective or what. I had the watch for a couple days when the compass adjustment dial just fell off. It is held in by two small pins. I managed to find the parts and put it back together. Hoping it was a manufacturing issue, I went on using it. A month later it happened again. The watch was in no way misused and was only taken out on the trail once. I cannot say that this was due to poor design but it left me a little frustrated. I plan on contacting Highgear for a replacement.
