Well that didn't take long. Only 3 days for me to get the new Timex Grid Shock. Looks like they improved a few aspects of the older WS4 such as better LCD resolution that doesn't comprise of small dots. The WS4 still gives you compass, altimeter, thermometer, and barometer, not to mention a small weather station, making the WS4 a bit more exciting. The Grid Shock gives you 3 time, sound and/or vibrating alarms, a hydration alarm, and the usual chronograph and timer functions. It should also survive a harder impact than the WS4, and I think it is also more weather proof. I like both of them so far.
