I was hoping to wear the WS4 hiking Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26132ST.OO.A100CR.01 Mens Watch in the Anza Borrego State Park, but ended up moving house instead, so the outdoor portion of this review will have to wait. The compass should be quite useful there. The altimeter is considerably more capable than I've yet put to use: You can set all sorts of alerts and alarms for max/min altitude, time above or below a set height, set four reference points, track time in or above a given altitude, graphically display ascent/descent and more. The weather forecasting on the WS4 uses barometric pressure Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26132ST.OO.A100CR.01 Mens Watch to predict the short-term trends, and is thus only slightly more useful than visual observation.
I wore the WS4 mountain biking around town, and the WS4 performed well: Even while bouncing along (cheap bike with rigid frame), the analog hour display was readable, and the big digits on the bitmapped area were readable too. The graphical display of altitude was nice, though I only used that to review the ride once I was done.I should mention another feature that I really like on this watch, the alarm. Long ago relegated to checkbox status, innovation in this area has languished. Not so on the WS4: By using the bitmapped display for prompts, you can easily select that it ring on weekdays, weekends, a specific day only, with five-minute backup alert. I used it to wake up on weekdays, and rather enjoyed not having it go off Saturday morning. It seems like a small thing, but I Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26132ST.OO.A100CR.01 Mens Watch appreciate the versatility it provides.
