Bro, your video on this watch is so much more helpful than the video made by this company! Im going to need watching this many times to learn how to finish setting my watch. Thanks!!
Wow, great find! That’s pretty damn cool. I have absolutely no need for this, but I want one! Ha! The pace “metronome” feature is to walk to that beat, thus setting a goal/expectation for your pace. This thing looks great! Love the matte black stainless steel.
@@allthingsrandom8137 Looking forward to your field trek video! Will be nice to see this thing in its environment. Will be interesting to note if there is an ideal operating ambient temperature range, too.
Ha, so I just bought one myself, and the first watch I’ve bought all year, but the different model that is yellow. I had a credit on Amazon and got free freight to Australia. I think it was just over $60 I paid for it. I preferred the look of the yellow watch, with the normal type band on it. I bought it for similar reasons, mostly the compass, and altimeter, but the more things to play with the better. Funny, too, I had exactly the same clock as yours, I gave it to my father in law and he had it repaired. It was my grandparents originally.
So far I’ve been wearing this thing every day, and it’s surprisingly more comfortable than I ever thought for the size. From things that I’ve looked at, the functions on the watch are best when it’s taken off your wrist placed on a dry, non-magnetic surface, and left for about 20 minutes…. Not sure how that’s going to fair in the middle of Alaska
@@allthingsrandom8137 Yes, I could see that being an issue! Mine will probably become my main daily watch also, I’ve been using a GD-350 G Shock on a leather nato strap for pretty much the entire year so far. I gave up trying to build my Seiko’s almost entirely because of inconsistent shipping or supply with covid and now my state is all but in lockdown again because of idiot politicians. I’d imagine Alaska would be fairly safe though?
I just ordered on Amazon, I ha e been looking at the Suunto but it is $180.00 so I decided to give this one a try, I do have a Casio Pathfinder Protrek, I use it when I go to Medellín Colombia, on the mountains and it pretty accurate, so I will see when I take this one there see how it compares with the 200 dollars Casio. Thanks for the review, very detailed!!
@@allthingsrandom8137 Yeah. I saw a review this guy says one of the pins broke and watch fell from his wrist, I do work on watches so I have some heavy duty pins so I will replace them. Pins are not that expensive, but still for $100 less is worth it. Anyways I am not a professional hiker lol... I am a cyclist.
@@allthingsrandom8137 Well, I just got it yesterday, I like it, it is a little on the heavy side but I think I will jeep it. I will change the pins though. UPDATE ** I actually fund it on Temu for 1/2 price, so I am returning it to Amazon and keep tje one I got on Temu, same exact watch!! Now I like it more, 😂
Ich habe die selbe Uhr. Seltsam, dass wenn ich sie Tragen, ab und zu sich ausschaltet das Display. Klopf ich mit den Fingern mal paar mal drauf, geht sie wieder an. Leider ist dann zum Zeitpunkt wo sie aus geht und wieder an geht, die Uhrzeit stehen geblieben. Liegt sie am Tisch geht sie nie aus. Ich bin am Verzweifeln, woran das liegt. Batterie ist voll. Wackelkontakt ? Kennt jemand das Problem?
Is it good for endurance? I saw in its advertisements that it is a military watch. Is this true, or is it just an advertisement? I am not in the army, but I trust the quality used by the army, and I am hesitant that it is bad Chinese goods. Can you compare it with another military watch?
Thank you very much, that's what I needed to hear I was looking for a watch that was sturdy, durable, and versatile, but it was hard to find or very expensive So I am looking for milspec quality But in watches, they are either good and expensive (and often not strong) or cheap and bad (often not strong). I hope to see you doing a new review very soon
just bought one, i didnt get it yet.. seems nice for the price.. mine is northern edge, im just concerned about when the battery dies, can it be replaced by a jeweler
I did, but it was with a pair of rock rooster hiking boots i reviewed. Next weekend I am taking it out again, because I still use it, even years later. It’ll be titled “surviving in the Alaska wilderness with this watch”.
I got one and I like it but is sucks crap it keeps reseting it self and it won't let me Input the correct elevation and pressure if I set it to the right presure it will make the elevation go low and the other way I know how to set it and am using the correct measurements and I opened it once and a screw striped
Hey, just picked up this great watch (North Edge Apache) liked this video BTW, but I have a question: through all the other videos I watched looking for an answer to changing temp from Celsius to Fahrenheit, Ive come up with nothing, however, I saw that your watch was set for Fahrenheit, have you found how to change this on the watch or did yours simply come like that? Let me know if your able to help.
Starting from the basic time zone page, tap the 4 o'clock button. Then just hold the 2 o'clock button. It will flip the altitude from meters to feet and give versa, but every other time it will change the temp units
@@allthingsrandom8137 Thanks for replying! A few people had some complaints on Amazon, which kinda turned me off of this watch. But it's good to know that yours is still running after a few years. Maybe I'll order one...thanks again!
It has a timer,… but can you set seconds?. Most of the watches can only do hours and minutes. I need seconds. Sometimes I was to rest 90 seconds when working out
really easy man , if you still haven't figured it out , all you need to do is press the up right button , and then keep pushed down the left bottom one , until you see that is ready for calibration , then place it on the table , and rotate it for around 30 seconds , and you're done
I really wished someone you demonstrate its use to the full extent not just pushing a couple of buttons! I need a timer that runs for days and not 30 minutes!
Yes, pronounce the pedometer, similar how we pronounce “speedometer” or “Sped-o-meter”. Good review though, I’m going with what he says, the instructions are a bit lacking, but that will happen with some products as they likely don’t have a good interpreter around. I am not fluent in Mandarine, so will have to make do. I’ve worked at a few places where an English native speaker wasn’t any better in their technical writing to other English speakers. As time goes, someone may learn the two languages better and write a better manual. For now, this review is very helpful. I’ve gotten by with anything that tells time, old school Casio for $10, but the cheap rubber strap fell apart. This is way overkill for me, but have to agree, very nice watch for the money.
Pace counters are for marching so you can reach a known point on a set time . It is a military use . This watch is clearly beyond your capabilities if you think it is for playing the bloody piano.

Thanks for clarifying the metronome, me being prior military I already know what my pace count is, so I was like what the heck is this for?

I got this watch it's a great watch works perfectly for me. I used it in water and hiking 👍
is it any good, in term of reliability like g shock?

how about the battery? any review for that? is it rechargeable?

Great watch. Does get a little steam inside but it goes away.
The only bad thing is the fact you'll keep scratching your car with it.
Great review, what kind of battery does it use and how to replace it? I can't find an online manual for it.
I love how he completely ignored your question
I think it is a Lithium 2032 is like the ones the auto remote controls use.
yes it is@@aldon78
that's also my question coz he never mentioned the battery. is it rechargeable?
Cool watch, I have the Casio ProTrek PRW-240 and the PRW-6800. I may have to add this one to my collection
Worth it for sure
How do you turn on/off the hourly chime please?

I use this for hiking all the time. Great watch. Very durable, especially for the price
Thank you very much, that's what I needed to hear
I was looking for a watch that was sturdy, durable, and versatile, but it was hard to find or very expensive
So I am looking for milspec quality
But in watches, they are either good and expensive (and often not strong) or cheap and bad (often not strong).
I hope to see you doing a new review very soon
83.5 degrees 🔥☠️
i have the same watch, but mine says north edge apache, instead of avtrek
Identical
I just got mine today looks and feels great 👍
Glad to hear!
Noth Edge Apache 3 is practically the same! Of this model, I sold 10 watches!
It’s literally the same
Hey good video but you made a cut at the altimeter. I can’t seem to access the altimeter. It’s goes from compass beck to time.
What an i doing wrong?
just bought one, i didnt get it yet.. seems nice for the price.. mine is northern edge, im just concerned about when the battery dies, can it be replaced by a jeweler
It really is
did you record the video test finally? i am checking your channel but i don't success to find it
I did, but it was with a pair of rock rooster hiking boots i reviewed. Next weekend I am taking it out again, because I still use it, even years later. It’ll be titled “surviving in the Alaska wilderness with this watch”.
Pacer helps keep a steady run/movement speed
I do know that now, lol
can I use buttons while underwater ?
Never push buttons underwater… causes water intrusion on this one. Only if it’s specifically a dive computer, which this is not…
@@allthingsrandom8137 thank you so much man , the video really helped , and the answer was really fast , I appreciate it
@@eliaaam2262 anytime
Does it show 24 hour time?
This watch looks like the module was made by North Edge, they're a small Malaysian Casio style watchmaker...
It’s literally a north edge, by a different name
Does this watch have an automatic time and dates setting cuz I'm thinking about buying this but hoping it has an auto setting
Yes it has Perpetual Calendar with Auto Daily Savings Time Setting until 2099.
Thanks
I got one and I like it but is sucks crap it keeps reseting it self and it won't let me Input the correct elevation and pressure if I set it to the right presure it will make the elevation go low and the other way I know how to set it and am using the correct measurements and I opened it once and a screw striped
That really freaking sucks
Congratulations. This seems to me to be the only correct comment among all.
You wouldn’t by chance still have this watch and be able to give a free update would you?

Do you know how to adjust the temp as mine is very wrong so perhaps needs a calibration?
Dont worry done it
@telandjen how did you do it?
Does it have a vibration alarm feature?
No
Look likes a North Edge Apache
They are both the same watch
@@allthingsrandom8137 ok thank you
Thanks bro this was a great help
For sure!
Does it display 24hr time?
Yes
Does it still work after a year?
Works great after 2
@@allthingsrandom8137 Thanks for replying! A few people had some complaints on Amazon, which kinda turned me off of this watch.
But it's good to know that yours is still running after a few years.
Maybe I'll order one...thanks again!
How accurate is the barometer on this watch? Have you compared it to other stations after calibration? This is a real peach
I wouldn’t bet my life on it, but for as much hiking as I do, it’s actually pretty accurate. I was relatively surprised especially at the price point
@@allthingsrandom8137 Hey, is there a way of changing the altitude to Mtr instea of feet. So far I have hPa and C° but can't get Mtr!? Cheers
@@Ajajambo I’m pretty sure all the measurements can be changed.
Fixed! Mtr is available
how did you do it ? @@Ajajambo
It has a timer,… but can you set seconds?. Most of the watches can only do hours and minutes. I need seconds. Sometimes I was to rest 90 seconds when working out
Yes, it has seconds
How to reset the step counter back to zero???
This watch isn't putting out or receiving wifi or Bluetooth or any radiation is it?
Nope, independent
I've had mine for 2 months and still haven't found any information on calibration for the compass
really easy man , if you still haven't figured it out , all you need to do is press the up right button , and then keep pushed down the left bottom one , until you see that is ready for calibration , then place it on the table , and rotate it for around 30 seconds , and you're done
Is the same that SKMEI 1418.
same watch movement with SKMEI 1427, 1418, 1358, and SKMEI is way more cheaper
@@mfas2901 What is the difference other than price?? Thanks
@@ltw8579 i think the difference is better built quality and materials than SKMEI watches
This is the Apache before they named it the Apache probley before they even became northedge .
positive lcds are better for legibility
True
North edge and avtrek sound much better then SUUNTU
That’s true
Looks like a Sunnto transverse alpha clone even the strap design is the same.
Similar to spovan
I really wished someone you demonstrate its use to the full extent not just pushing a couple of buttons! I need a timer that runs for days and not 30 minutes!
I just got mine and wished it was smaller. It came with zero instructions
SKMEI 1427
$75??? No, 38€!!!
Better than north edge
It’s the same as the north edge
Dont bought this watch after 2 months get steam inside and company Lightinthebox don't do the refund after 30 days.Useless.
That really sucks. Mine is still working great. The non-refund or exchange is pretty lame
Lol ped_ like Ted, with ometer like u said barometers. 🤣

That hole in the back of the watch ruins all the waterproofness
These advanced features just don't work. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
