Origo Granite Peak Series Altimeter Watch - 2008

Remember when you missed that key turn on your last hike and went two miles too far? Well, that wouldn't have happened if you had the Origo Granite Peak Series Altimeter Watch. The highly accurate altimeter would have provided your elevation within a foot, so you would have known when you were high enough to look for that left turn. The Granite Peak Watch's compass would have let you know that you were hiking in the wrong direction. Origo also added a barometer to this watch that would have warned you of the incoming storm. Maybe you'll bring the right tool for the job next time.

Bottom Line: You should have brought it last weekend, so bring it next weekend.

Awesome Watch!

By:

It was nice to finally find a watch that didn't look like a saucer on my wrist. The altimeter is usually really close with out constant calibrating and when you do it is very spot on. It is simple to use and very nice looking. The one issue I had was both the battery in the watch and the spare sent with it were dead when I got it, no big deal though, batteries are cheap. Anyone looking for a complete outdoor watch will be more than happy.

Does anyone know where I can get the operations manual for this

Does anyone know where I can get the operations manual for this watch to pre-set the different functions? The manual was not in the original box and the settings are clearly off, plus I've never used an altimeter watch before. Headed to Yosemite for a week and need to set this watch up in the next couple days....Thanks.

Pretty sure that is the manual. If not, search around on origoworld.com and you should be able to find it.
Have fun in Yosemite!

I got this watch as a Christmas gift last year, And it is one of my favorite pieces of gear to have with me! I have a knack for banging watches around and putting some scars on em'. So I was VERY happy to see that this thing is a tank! You can beat it around (I have) and there will not be a scratch or mark on it. Besides that, the functions are great and very accurate in my observation. All of those great qualities are topped off with a great look. I wear this watch daily and just about everywhere I go.

Husband loves it

By:
June 13, 2008

After two High Gear Altimeters breaking within a matter of months, we settled on this one for his b'day present. I personally think it's the best-looking altimeter watch out there - the stainless steel bevel gives it a dressier look but it lends itself to greater durability also. Husband also feels that it is easy to use and the altimeter has had no issues so far, though he hasn't really tested it yet (had it for a month). We would both highly recommend this watch.

Thermometer is ehhh

By:
March 23, 2009

I like this watch a lot. It isn't as big as what I thought a watch with so many features would be! The thermometer is only accurate when you aren't wearing it for about 10 minutes though. It always is affected by my body head on my wrist and can be more than 10 degrees off because of that. Can't wait to take it scuba diving and test out the water resistance!

Can anyone vouch for the accuracy of the altimeter and barometer

Can anyone vouch for the accuracy of the altimeter and barometer functions of this watch? I've heard many altimeter watches are not very accurate and/ or need constant recalibration.Also, what is the altitude range for the altimeter?

Karen - I've used it on two ski tours so far, ranging between 5K ft and 8600ft. I was careful to calibrate at the car. The alt, max and cumulative functions were accurate to within 25ft based on known elevations and GPS checks. I was really suprised.
Also, the barometer is excellent. Again, I calibrate it and it is accurate enough for weather changes and current conditions. Moving in and out of buildings can jack it up, but I only use it for the mountains.
All in all and for the money you should feel comfortable pulling the trigger.
One note: the first one sent to me didn't function, but BC OVERNIGHTED at their expense so I could have it for a tour in time. Great customer service.

Great watch.

By:
June 9, 2008

I've had this watch for about a month now and I'm pretty happy with it. It does what it says it should and looks nice to boot. The only problems seem to be a quiet alarm and a band that is just a bit to rigid.

some minor problems--hassles

By:
May 14, 2009

Just a few things. The watch came with a dying battery but a new battery was included with the watch. What was not included was a instruction manual that was remedied within a day after a couple emails. So, I got the watch up and functioning like I wanted only to find that after a month, a pin for the wrist band buckle broke. My initial impression is htat the wrist band is too stiff and taking the watch on and off daily put too much pressure on it. I still haven't found the time to get to a jeweler or watch store to replace the pin.

That said, for the time I had the watch, I loved it. Looks good, seems accurate, easy to calibrate.

Yes it will keep track of your altitude changes, the instruction booklet explains very well how to do so. The menu is relatively easy to figure out, just play around with it before you try to take accurate info.
