It's a superb watch. I have this and I love it. I have never seen my expansive watches for months after getting this. I have 12 costly watches. but I love this watch. its like a reliable friend. who never ask you much for being with you. 😊

My son is joining the army. So I am buying one for him. Thanks for the introduction.

Great review, need more KZreadr's providing info like this.

Thanks for taking the time out to make this review . And doing all the research . I just seen this while looking on amazon it is 45 dollars as of jan 11 2016

Great comprehensive review. My watch is in the post! Purchased based on this great piece, thanks!

I was looking for something like this that would hold up in real world threat scenarios and it seems that you convince me to get this watch simply because you practically do the same. So thanks for you input I'm sure I would add this to my edc

Nice job on the review...I appreciate your easy natural style! I've been considering the LAD or the Pyle...so far the LAD is winning! Thanks so much!

Joe Devine Check out the Highgear Alti-XT as well! I did a review on that watch too!

Great video awesome that you compared to the suunto cause thats what i was looking to get totally changed my mind

Really good job, man. Informative, and interesting too. Thanks! God bless and take care...

Thanks for posting this thinking about getting one

Thanks for the review!

Great video, thanks jhawk!

Great watch been using it for 8 years now.

Thx for posting the review, still debating to get this or not

Great review!!!

Good review.. been looking at the LAD watch and the Suunto. 50 bucks is hard to beat the features of the LAD.

Many thanx) Ordered the same!

Watching this made me realize that I already have this watch - but its made by Pyle. At least the screens look the same. The Pyle branded one costs much more. A button on my Pyle is not working properly (I can't reset the altitude anymore) so I now have bought one of these.

Nice review! Only thing - altimeter is barometer as you need to set the reference value from which the difference in pressure will be translated into vertical distance.

You just saved me a lot of money.

A little update: I am about to finally purchase that watch and Amazon gives a TWO YEARS WARRANTY, no longer just the 6 months manufacturer's warranty.

Primero gracias al autor por la revisión, fue lo que me decidió a comprar este modelo, que comparto con dos Protrek, un PRG70Yt y un PRG200YT, pues a pesar de parecer mas frágil (de momento no lo demuestra) los sensores de este reloj le dan mil vueltas a los del casio, la brújula en precisión, el barómetro (mi principal instrumento es mil veces mas fiable que el del casio, va calcado a al de mi estación meteorológica personal y encima con decimales); cosas que descubrí en este mes de uso: La luz si se presiona y acto seguido se presiona el botón del sensor (por ejemplo), la misma se mantiene encendida todo el tiempo que se operen los botones, al contrario del Protrek que enciendes la luz y accionan cualquier botón y la luz se anula, cosa ilógica pues su fuente de energía se recarga; otra función interesante que descubro es que estando en el modo altímetro o barómetro y si se mantiene presionado el botón superior derecho unos segundos, el reloj entra en modo scan, en la pantalla se lee scan on, es decir alterna entre la lectura numérica y la gráfica, tanto del altímetro como del barómetro, esta función se puede desactivar del mismo modo y me es útil. sumado al hecho de poder apagar la pantalla y ahorrar batería cuando no es necesario. los logs de registro son eternamente mas extensos que los del protrek dando un buen panorama de evolución climática en 36 horas; los gráficos de tendencia del clima son razonablemente precisos y por encima la resistencia al agua es la suficiente para usarlo bajo lluvia copiosa, lavarse las manos, no digo ducharse pues los químicos de los productos de limpieza pueden afectar los sellos, pero para el uso diario va perfecto, tengo la versión de lcd inverso y sin problemas de lectura con condiciones lumínicas mediocres, en oscuridad total la luz de fondo es mas que suficiente; creo que comprare otra unidad para tener de backup por una fracción del costo de los buque insignia de esas marcas que están muy por detrás en precisión y longitud de registro. si hace falta un vídeo de las funciones referidas puedo realizarlo, la única queja es la pantalla de acrílico que es sensible a los rayones, pero se quitan con facilidad con un pulidor adecuado. de nuevo agradecer al autor de la revisión que me animo a esta compra y de la cual estoy mas que satisfecho. First thanks to the author for the review, this was what decided me to buy this model, which I share with two Protrek, PRG70Yt and one PRG200YT, since in spite of seeming more fragile (at the moment it does not demonstrate it) the sensors of this clock him give thousand returns to those of the casio, the compass in precision, the barometer (my main instrument is thousand times more trustworthy than that of the casio, it is traced to to that of my personal meteorological station and above with decimal); things that I discovered in this month of use: The light if it is pressed and immediately afterwards the button of the sensor is pressed (for example), the same one stays burning all the time that the buttons produce, unlike the Protrek that you light the light and they drive any button and the light is annulled, illogical thing since its energy source is recharged; another interesting function that I discover is that being in the altimetric way or barometer and if the right top button stays pressed a few seconds, the clock enters way scan, on the screen it is read scan on, that is to say it alternates between the numerical reading and the graph, both of the altimeter and of the barometer, this function can be deactivated in the same way and it is useful to me. added to the fact of being able to extinguish the screen and save battery when it is not necessary. the record logs are eternally more extensive than those of the protrek giving a good panorama of climatic evolution in 36 hours; the graphs of tendency of the climate are reasonably precise and superficially the resistance to the water is the sufficient one to use it under copious rain, to wash his/her/its hands, I do not say that to take a shower since the chemists of the cleaning products can affect the stamps, but for the daily use it goes perfectly, I have the version of inverse lcd and without problems of reading with mediocre light conditions, in entire darkness the fund light is more than sufficient; I believe that he will buy another unit to have of backup for a fraction of the cost of the flagship of these marks that are much behind in precision and length of record. if it is necessary to have a video of the above-mentioned functions I can realize it, the only complaint is the screen of acrylic that is sensitive to the rayons, but they come out with facility with a suitable polisher. again to be grateful to the author of the review that I cheer up to this buy and of which I am more than satisfied.

Yo lo acabo de comprar me encanta pero mi único complain es que el background negro es un poco dificil de Leer. quizás hay manera de intensificar el LED cscreen? En cuanto que se ralle el plástico, yo le comprè un protector en Amazon y listo.

I recently got this watch. It seems to have lots of functions. However a little difficult to understand how to use them all. For instance I cannot figure out how to change temp from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Appreciate your video. Would be great if the watch display could be seen better ... I know, not easy.

When it records the barometric pressure, does it also record the temperatures at the time so when you scroll through the pressure data it also shows the temperature at that time (ex: 7am temp, 8am temp, etc) along with the pressure readings? Thanks

Hey I was wondering for the barometer should I set it to my regions air pressure or set it to default. Which will give me and better weather reading?

Watched the video and have decided to buy the watch . Great deal compared to the Suunto . Many thanks.

Merry good choice you're absolutely right 👍

Just so happens I have a 10 pack of batteries for my dot sight that work for this watch . Which is a plus . If you happen to have opened it up . How did the seal or gasket look? Meaning thin or thinker type ? The reason I ask is when installing the battery they some times get out of line or damaged easy . I could always go to ACE and go though the rubber gasket's .

I'm not a fan of the negative screen. The ordinary black print on white screen feels easier to read for me. Thanks for the review.

there is a small arrow on the screen next to the SW, is it for the wind direction?

Hello! Just bought the sensor master 8 but cant make him show the temperature. Any idea?

Great video. I've same watch. But I can't replace the battery. Please make a video on replacement of battery. Thanks a lot. 💖

Is the Pyle Sports Watch the same watch? Its cheaper. I like the brighter light face version.

do you know if you can turn the beep off when you press the buttons? Looking at getting this for a hunter and the beeping may not be good in the woods.

I also have to disagree. I also swim with my lad weather and shower. I also have a g-shock. But I do not work for Casio nor do I think it is the only "good watch" out there. I teach and train hand-to-hand and wear it while doing so. The lad held up with no problems. Also everything has worked spot on. So if you have money to through away then buy the Casio or suunto. The lad weather works just as well and is as tough.

Do you think it is a durable watch for everyday use (not beating it around in the dirt, etc) and is the display dim enough that you would recommend going with the positive lcd version or is the negative display fine. I have seen some negative displays that were very dim and some that were perfectly fine. I like the looks of the negative display on this one better but if it is dim I will go for the positive lcd. The short warranty on this watch makes me lean towards the casio but i like the screen and the barometer reading on this one better. Thanks again

I have tried Suunto and Lad Weather. And now im g-shock man. NO you cannot go either dive or even swim with Lad Weather watch. Suunto is overpriced and very fragile. All plastic all around. If u need something that last forever and take beating try g-shock. Lad Weather is much cheaper version of Suunto. All plastic, bezel and glass top which is plastic are scratched even you wearing ski jacket. Well worth it around $45. But do not overpay! It does not say on the watch 30m, or even nothing says on the watch. 30m means u can be wearing it during the rainy condition, and wash hands in it, but wipe it dry very next seconds. Bottom line Lad Weather has useful and cool futures but durability is sucks big ass!
