    Mine says its green and charged when i plug in the magnet charger, but i was out using it quite a bit last night, so i had to pull the battery and use the xtar vc4, weird because i was loving the magnetic charger but it can't tell it needs to be topped off what the hell. Loosened it 1/4 turn too, and tried both wahs, blinking red on left or green. I just put it in the xtar and its put 327 mah into the battery already, hopefully i get it sorted because don't like having to pull the battery paranoid about threads lol albiet square cut. That is smart of them the 1/4 turn safety charge feature, i really like that

    Good morning everyone, a question: when navigating on a loaded GPX track, is it possible to "lock the map" to follow the direction to follow? , every time we stop , the map continues to rotate slightly, perhaps to update our position.. and it's not very clear where you need to go, where the route to follow is. Thank you

    What i do is have north always facing up option for maps. This way the map doesnt rotate.

    I love the watch and have it myself but the kill switch is nothing but a gimmick. If you wanted yopu could easily desolder the the NAND and dumb the binary data from it, and even un-delete data from it the same way cellbrite works with mobile phones in law enforcement. The data is not even encrypted!

You can turn your knife into a torque screwdriver with a 1/4" bit extender placed in that can opener hole.

I even have the AA adapter for the Vx-1r. 2 years ago at a local ham convention a guy walking through had the Vx-1r on a lanyard. The second I saw it I wanted one. Took a few to figure out exactly what it was but once I did I was hooked. Anyways great video I'll have to check some of the others out, 73 K0MYK
