Any idea if this one is at all physically smaller than the axio max? I'm trying to find an altimeter watch that is as low profile on the wrist as possible....

The lowest profile ABC watch I'm aware of is the PRX/PRW 2000 from Casio @ 11.3mm in height. The altimeters on the Casio's are somewhat limited in accuracy, however, and the resolution at 5m/20ft increments, isn't as helpful. The Suunto Observer would be my recommendation in a lower profile watch @ 14mm. I believe the Tech4o Traileader Pro is around that measurement too, and adds the unique feature of an accelerometer in a watch, which adds a new layer of functionality in measuring distance, as well as altitude, barometer, thermometer, heart rate and azimuth.

This watch and the max use the same case, so they are the same size... You might try the Axio Mini, its a little smaller... you might also check Silva's watches, coined Tech4O...
