Origo Rendezvous Peak Series Altimeter Watch - 2008 BCS

Got the watch and the battery was dead. Instructions were so small I couldn't read them so I am trying to enlarge them. The band is very stiff. Should have spent more time and money on the instructions and less on the box it came in.

this is a pretty subdued-looking technical watch. I didn't want a big clunker on my wrist but I still wanted a watch that had an alitimeter. This one has a compass, alitimeter, barometer, temperature sensor, and the other standard stopwatch features. It does have some pretty rudimentary data store capabilities but I wouldn't get this watch if you want an easy, intuitive way to track your vertical or location over time. I don't think it's going to give you as much historical data as some of the other watches. But for 100 bucks it's pretty good. I've been wearing the ironman because of it's subdued look, large easy to read display and light weight. This isn't as light weight but doesn't feel too bad on your wrist, and gives you a lot more info. the only thing I really don't like is the alarm chime is very quiet - if you don't take this thing off and put it on your nightstand right next to you ear it probably won't wake you...
