It was hard to get a good pic, the LCD display is mirror like, and the backlight only illuminates the actual data, not the whole dial, very cool! The build quality is good, not great so I am glad I got it at a decent price. I'll never get used to a second hand that lines up on only half the dial even though I have a bunch of quartzies that do the same thing. I am tempted to send it off to have the analog seconds hand removed, it is sort of superfluous anyway. Of course, I was most interested in the data from the module. I would compare it to my T-Touch or Pathfinder in terms of accuracy, my Suuntos, Nike and Highgear are a bit more accurate. Still, it is great to have all these features in a nice steel case with a slide rule bezel, and I am a sucker for slide rule bezels!
The Sector is a full Altimeter/Barometer/Compass, with 1/100 sec chrono, 2 alarms plus ascent/decent and weather alarms, 2 time zones and temperature readout. Thankfully it is programmable for Imperial units, the SI only ones I have (T-Touch, Citizen Aquamount, Nike analog altimeter) make it difficult to convert in my head. I like the analog hands over the digital display, sort of a poor man's X-33 in a way.
I believe it is around 44mm, not sure of the lug size though Sector throws a nylon strap in with the deal. I like it on rubber though I think it would look as cool on a nylon/NATO/Zulu style strap.
Overall I really like it and it will be in regular rotation with the rest of my ABC watches.
Cheers,
