I got what I paid for...

I have had this watch for about a year now. The main purpose for buying this watch was to assist in tracking altitude during long climbs and ski trips. As others have stated, you must calibrate the watch frequently which is a pain in the arse. Not so bad if you are at a place where you can verify the altitude. No so good if you are on a week long expedition and don't have a calibration point. I also didn't like the fact that it looks like I am wearing a wall clock on my wrist. This thing is HUGE! I still get jokes from climbing buddies standing 20 ft away saying "Hey, hold up your wrist so I can see what time it is"! If you can get past the huge size, and the constant need for calibration, you will probably be fine with this altimeter.
