I use devices like this quite often. I have put my Highgear Aerial Altimeter Watch through hell. Watch has good functionality and durability. I have had my watch for almost four years and just recently came across my first issue. My Alarm is no longer sounding, but I contacted High Gear via email and they gave me an RA number and told me to send it back....so no problems there. The altimeter does need daily calibration for it to be at its' highest accuracy, but there isn't an altimeter watch that doesn't need daily calibration. The watch allows you to record three different locations i.e. your front door step, your bedroom, work...whatever you want and when you pass those places you push three buttons and you're calibrated!!!!

My only complaint is that when I fly in Helicopters it becomes quite inaccurate, which requires another calibration when i get out of the helicopter, but A) all helicopters have altimeters so I just have to ask the pilot and B) how often do YOU fly in a helicopter? I work as a wild land firefighter on Helitack, so it's an issue only about three or four times a week.

While hiking and climbing though, it's bomber!!! Good watch
