Highgear TerraTech Altimeter Watch
the best and worst
By Pablo Svampa
Ranked #475 - Altimeters

In my opinion the best features of the watch are: Screen: Some people said it was too big, but I think that is the correct size for the function that was constructed. The chronograph: Is in excellent accuracy and can take many laps and runs. I buy it at great price... only 62U$D
The worst thing about this watch: The temperature does not mark well, I get about 4°C of variation from reality. Never use the watch in my hand so as not to vary with my corporal temperature , but still not a good measurement. The minimum temperature was only -10°C. The compass should remain on screen for 30 seconds, but do not stay more than 15 ... then we must re-activate it and ... The height measurement is not accurate and I have to calibrate it with great regularity.
I bought the watch for mountaineering and I don't gave the result I wanted. With temperatures of -30°C did not have temperature... a less.
An altimeter that does not mark either the altitude is NOT AVAILABLE!!! two less. I do not recommend it for mountaineering or climbing
