he means if the readings are in feet or meters and the barometric pressure in mBars or other units !!!!are they ?EDIT (Jersey Hiker) - I doubt that he is referring to units, that makes NO DIFFERENCE when determining pressure trends, and every digital altimeter I've used can be set to either feet or meters (I'm certain that this one can as well). He is apparently confused as to how the watch functions, i.e., if it uses a data system only available in the US (no it does not). All functions of this watch will work anywhere on Earth. This watch uses a simple air pressure sensor which 1) functions as a barometer IF confined to one location (no changes in altitude!) for a day or two so that a pressure trend may be recorded, or 2)functions as an altimeter IF properly calibrated to a known altitude IMMEDIATELY BEFORE USE. One sensor, two ways of interpreting the data generated.
