The Victorinox Swiss Army ST-5000 Digital Compass Men’s Watch model 24837 is an appropriate instrument for all outdoor activities.  Its main characteristics are precision in timing and a very accurate digital compass.

Victorinox Swiss Army ST 5000 Digital Compass WatchThis dynamic timepiece by Victorinox has a round case made of titanium. It means that it is exceptionally sturdy and lightweight at the same time, so you do not have to choose between these two useful features. However, this is not the only advantage of this metal.

Titanium is also hypoallergenic so it won’t react to your skin, which is really useful when you have to endure various kinds of weather during your outdoor adventures. Therefore, this Victorinox Swiss Army ST 5000 timepiece for men is the best choice for all gentlemen who have misfortune of having sensitive skin type. The case has 42 millimeters in diameter and is 17 millimeters thick.

The face of this fine product from the Swiss company Victorinox is protected with a mineral crystal, hardened and shatter-resistant. The crystal is treated to be anti-reflective, which provides optimal legibility. This Victorinox Swiss Army product has a black analog dial with a digital sub dial display. Its hands and numbers are white and luminous, which is also great since it improves readability even more.

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 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.

  2. Cris Donovan October 15, 2011

    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.

  4. Ron Daniel March 5, 2012

    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.

  5. Ronald Bowen March 5, 2012

    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.
