One of ebay's pre questions for this watch, "is it stylish"? Don't know, don't care. What it is, is very functional and easy to use. Some watches loaded with functions like this one are complicated to use. I learned how to use this myself without help from any of my kids or grandkids. The screen size and shape allow for larger and easier to read displays also. Hard to fit some readouts into a round screen. Accuracy in a device this small is surprisingly good. I tested the compass next at home to verify true north, tested the barometer against a large one in my house and took it up in my Beechcraft to test the altimeter. One cool feature is putting the backlight into "night mode". Then you just touch any button and it lights up instead of finding the light button. Hope this helps.Read full review

I've wanted one of these since they were announced back around 2009, but always thought they were too expensive. Now new-old stock units are selling for about what the WS4 should have cost new, so I have two now. Good: Lightweight, especially for its size. The thermometer is accurate when the watch isn't being worn, more accurate, in fact, than my Brunton ADC Pro weather meter(don't buy an ADC). The pressure altimeter is as accurate as any consumer pressure altimeter could be, meaning it's a ballpark number and should not be treated as an absolute. The interface is very clear and intuitive; I got the time and date set before even looking at the manual. The display is large and clear. Battery replacement is easy and only takes a coin for removal of the battery cover. Lots of alarm options that can be set by individual day. Totally subjective, but I think it's a good looking watch too. Not so good: Like the original price, the watch is HUGE. It doesn't bother me, but it's a consideration for some. It uses a larger CR2430 coil cell that is not as easy to find as a ubiquitous CR2032, but the watch uses juice and needs a higher-capacity battery for longer replacement intervals. Replacement bands are effectively no longer available and it's integrated with the watch body anyway. Replacing it means replacing everything but the movement. The whole thing is also made in China. I have not had mine long enough to evaluate durability, but there have been occasional reports that parts of the display can malfunction.Read full review

I need a watch that featured Altimeter, Barometer, Compass & Thermometer, am always a Casio fan so it seem to me an easy choice would be the 'Protrek' series.. then I started hunting at eBay, flipping through eBay for Casio seem like forever because there's too many fishes in the pond, then I decided to look for alternative... BOOM! Timex Expedition WS4, pre-owned like new for auction, Yellow strap with large rectangular face showing a lot of information at a glance... 'Unique' is the only word in my mind at that moment & I told myself I want this watch to wrap around my wrist, so I placed my bid at a specific amount... the only dislike for me on this item was I have to wait for 6 days auction duration but is all worth it! Winning moment as for now still left a very deep impression, blood flowing rapidly & breathing 2 times faster than usual. As for now, am eyeing on another great deal for 'Camoflage' design :)Read full review
Most Awesome I get compliments and I feel cool when I wear it. It's a good field watch in that it gages temp, time/date, and it has a handy dandy barometer. I love it Thanks ;)

I am constantly asked where I got the watch from, or who make that watch! It is very stylish and comfortable to wear give the size of the watch.
