Piece of SH*T
I purchased a new Highgear Axis over the Internet only to have it fail in the first week of use. I contacted the vendor who told me contact Highgear regarding the warranty. Highgear asked who I bought it from and when I told then they simply informed me that the firm was not an authorized dealer so the warranty is VOID!!!

isn't great but isn't too bad...
i got this on steep and cheap for $30. i've used it in all sorts of weather and it seems to do alright. as with all altimeters, it's a good idea to reset elevation at known points. i never really notices the altimeter function being too far off.
the alarm on the watch is way too quiet and easy to sleep though.
mine finally died after two years of use. the alarm stopped altogether (i never used it anyway though) and the backlight stopped working. the altimeter and everything else still works but i don't use it.
for the money, it can't be beat. but don't pay full price for it. save up a bit and get something nicer. but if you find it on sale, you might as well get it, especially if you find it for $30. it sure outperformed the price i paid for it... no regrets!

Decent Watch
This watch is pretty decent. I bought this watch from steepandcheap for 25 bucks so I can't really complain. The thermometer reads about 8-12 degrees hotter then it actually is when you are wearing it.
