WS4

watch will help you get there. 

Equipped with essential outdoor features, the WS4

watch takes a fresh

approach to wrist-top adventure instruments. The large, wide-screen dash-
board displays key information at a glance, without flipping through modes.

The WS4

watch utilizes advanced sensors that have precision accuracy, and

coupled with the intuitive user-interface, you can rely on it to give you all the
right answers in even the most extreme conditions. The first few pages of the
manual will get you started in minutes, and the rest provides an in-depth
understanding of our most advanced outdoor instrument yet.

So whether you’re taking to the trails, hitting the slopes or racing up 
twenty-three flights of stairs to see just how sensitive the altimeter is, get ready
to venture out of bounds.
