Summary: Great Watch
Comment: This is a great watch, especially for small to medium build guys. It's a good size watch but it's not nearly the dinner plate replacement that some of it's ABC brethren are.

Summary: Band is not Ti
Comment: Caveat emptor. The band is mostly resin with some Ti shards. Alarm is inaudible. Otherwise a good timepiece.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice case, inacceptable band
Comment: I've used this watch for 4 years now and I like the case very much. But the band, either Titanium or SS ( practically the same ) is definitely unacceptable. I've changed it 3 times and lost a watch to it.
Other annoyances :
+ Watch is not full SS or Titanium.
+ Alarm is inaudible

Summary: great watch - horrible band
Comment: I'm on my second Observer. The first one had the wrist band fail after about two years and REI was pleasant enough to replace the watch for me. The second one had the leather band instead of the polymer band. I was hoping the leather would be more durable. No such luck. The leather band failed after one year of normal wear.

However, the watch itself rocks. I wear it as a daily watch but I also use the altimeter function extensively (primarily for tracking vertical feet skied). It is perfect for my needs. I just wish they could make a band that lasted. Why don't they do a simple all metal band? The stainless band on my Tag has lasted 10 years.....
