E. Howard EH-23GA Gold Atomic Watch Review

E. Howard EH-23GA Gold Atomic Watch

With the advent of micro-electronics, watches (like digital cameras and cellphones), have become over-burdened with too many useless features. The delightful thing about this watch is its simplicity. Easy to set and use (through two buttons on the side, one of which is flat with the side of the watch), it does what a watch is supposed to do -- keep time accurately and display it clearly. Everything about this watch reflects quality and simplicity. It is truly an elegant product.
Because of the electronics required to receive the time by satellite each night, the case is somewhat thicker than other analog watches. This has not bothered me, but others may disagree.
If you do buy the watch, KEEP THE MANUAL. It contains instructions for what to do if the analog hands end up being out of sync with the electronic signal. This happened to me, and the only way to get them back in sync is to follow the detailed instructions in the manual.

Always know the exact time, whether at home or on the go, with this EH-12 series atomic watch from E.Howard by La Crosse. With its built-in receiver, the watch receives radio signals from the NIST WWVB Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado and resets the time and date nightly according to these transmissions. Likewise, the watch automatically adjusts for daylight savings time.
The watch\'s 1-1/2-inch diameter case features polished gold plated rims and a classic analog design. Protected by scratch-resistant crystal, black Arabic numerals and minute markers circle the 1-1/10-inch diameter dial. A .153-by-.31-inch LCD in the center of the watch face displays the date, the seconds, or the selected time zone and a radio-reception icon. To set the time, the user employs the two buttons on the side of the watch to select the proper zone from the twenty-four available settings. The watch then searches automatically for a signal from the WWVB to obtain the exact time and date for that time zone. With a 4/5-inch width, the brown leather wristband adjusts from 6-1/2 to 8 inches. This watch is water resistant up to 100 feet. Covered by a limited one-year warranty, the watch comes with a 3V CR1620 lithium battery installed.

Oregon Scientific RA123 Handheld Altimeter and Digital Compass Review

Oregon Scientific RA123 Handheld Altimeter and Digital Compass

This little thing looks feature-packed, but in actual use most features are pretty much useless.
* It works as a clock, but not an alarm clock. I'm a very light sleeper, but I do not wake up from the quiet alarm on this device. Ironically, the beep from pressing the buttons is louder than the alarm ring - go figure.
* The compass just plain does not work. I literally had to recalibrate it several times a day. If I move even a mile, it stops working.
* The temperature reading is incorrect. This might not be due to any fault of the device, but unless you keep it outside your body away from body heat, and away from sun and sunlight, it will not show the correct temperature. So it's a pretty pointless feature.
* I didn't buy this device for the barometer & altimeter. I figured those would never be accurate anyway. I was still surprised when the barometer, freshly calibrated in the morning to reflect the sunny weather, would signal rain in the afternoon - even though it was still sunny with hardly a cloud in the sky.
* The LCD screen is very soft plastic, and will get scratched badly within days of use.
