Dakota UV/Temp Sensor Watch

1) It is too large for hanging anywhere, while walking it swings around with too much weight and it just attracts attention.

2) Having purchased the watch for police work the standard of the clip is essential- I do not have confidence it will stand up to the 'modern urban crime environment'.

3) It is not immediately obvious how to turn off the 'bleep' when you press buttons.

I wouldn't buy this again and I am going to struggle to justify carrying it out with me on patrol.

I've been looking for a carabiner watch for ages. Found this one at heinnies, and I haven't looked back. I can't get used to wearing a watch on my wrist, but being able to clip onto my bag is a real positive, and being a carrot top the UV sensor helps.

I've just packed this up to send back. As a tide predictor, it is useless. I put in a high tide, checked the next one and it was 45 minutes out. A week later it was unrecognisable. Find one that uses time of day, latitude and lunitidal intervals.

It is just a wrist watch pinned to a holder. It would be fine hanging off a rucksack strap but I wouldn't give it much of a chance hanging off a belt loop if you caught it with your seat belt, for example.

I'm going to find something else.
