Reliable Guide
Top features of the Victorinox Swiss Army ST-5000 Digital Compass Watch are certainly its digital compass and the pathfinder mode. The watch includes a rotating compass rose which indicates cardinal points, intermediate points and 360 degrees in 15-degree increments.
When you use the compass for the first time, you have to set the declination to insure precise readings. The declination is the angular difference between True North and Magnetic North and it varies depending on a location. Once you set the declination, a green arrow indicates True North while the LCD display shows direction you are heading.
Even more impressive is the pathfinder mode. In this mode you point the watch to desired direction which then gets stored in its memory. When you start moving, the LED lights will show you if you are on or off the right direction.
The Victorinox Swiss Army ST-5000 Digital Compass Men’s Watch also features a durable black rubber strap, an accurate Swiss quartz movement and water resistance of 50 meters. This extraordinary Victorinox watch is available for $490.
The price of $490 is very good reason to buy this watch. The watch has great performance and it looks very interesting. Digital compass and the pathfinder mode are a great addition and they are very useful.
Although water resistance is not that big but however this watch is one of my favorites.
I like the fact that case is made of titanium because titanium is hypoallergenic and I have sensitive skin so this is perfect choice for me.
Design is good, functions also. I think this watch will be great addition to my collection.
This Victorinox looks very frivolous. I like robust watches with large cases. But, when you see this watch, it´s obvious that it isn´t my style. And I think that there is a lot of people who share my opinion about this watch.
Cory, you are absolutely right! This model is not a representative for the brand such as Vistorinox. It has nice and very interesting features, but really I can´t comment the design. I can only make a plea to Victorinox manufactures that next time, they should do the work much better.
I don´t know why everybody criticizes this watch. Yes, the design is not so good, but it is not so bad either . It has some great functions like a digital compass and the pathfinder mode. Apart from bad characteristics, let us look the good side of this watch.
