May 13, 2018 - Comment
Designed to be versatile enough to wear while hiking the trails or exporing a new city, the XG-55 has sophisticated electronic sensors to measure altitude, direction, barometric pressure, temperature and weather forecast. Set Altimeter: Always set Barometer first. 1. Press MODE button to get to Altimeter mode. Press and hold SELECT to choose between Zero (Zero), Sea Level Pressure (SEAP) and Absolute Altitude (ALTI), Factory Default setting (FDEF). 2. Zero setting will put the altimeter to zero to give a starting point for a climb or decent. Zero gives the option of YES or NO by pressing the ST/STP button. Press and hold SELECT to return to altimeter. 3. Absolute Altitude setting can be calibrated by pressing the ST/STP button to start numbers flashing. LAP/RESET will lower numbers and ST/STP will increase. Press and hold SELECT to return to altimeter. NOTE: you can calibrate in feet or meters 4. Sea Level Pressure (relative) setting can be calibrated by pressing the ST/STP button to start numbers flashing. LAP/RESET will lower numbers and ST/STP will increase. Press and hold SELECT to return to altimeter. NOTE: you can calibrate in feet or meters. 5. Factory Default gives the option of YES or NO by pressing the ST/STP button.

This Awesome, It Does Everything Right and Accurate So why did I only give is 4 stars? The only reason I gave this item 4 stars is the fact that there is no altimeter button. I’ll explain more later. First off, I didn’t initially purchase this watch because others reviewed this watch as cheap. NOT TRUE. This watch has a great looking bezel, unfortunately the pics don’t do it justice. Yes the band is palstic/rubber but so are other expensive watches. The clasp is metal so it all works together nicely.The features:Altimeter,…
Excellent cost-benefit ratio The cost-benefit ratio in this watch is excellent, you have a triple sensor watch for less than 100 usd, trying to compare this watch with some of the casio triple sensor or some others like suntto, is not fare, it is clear that if you pay more, you will get more. This watch looks nice, maybe the case material is not the best one but if you compare it with a casio or suntto watch, anyway the watch is solid, the screen shows all the information very clear, especially I liked much the sharpness…
Works as advertised, but hard to see. I bought this watch mainly for the altimeter function. It works quite well, as well as can be expected for any barometric altimeter. That means you need the actual altitude now and then so you can correct for barometric pressure changes. The watch is very sensitive to altitude changes down to individual feet. Getting used to accessing the different settings can take time and patience. The watch comes with a DVD to help you with that. My main gripe is the display contrast. The background color…
