Highgear Alterra Altimeter Watch
Quality Issues

Bought this watch and within 10 days a plastic piece below the face fell off. Highgear was 100 percent helpful with the return and repair/replace. But, less than a month after getting the replacement...the battery went dead. Bottom line: I should read the reviews before buying the watch because eating batteries and parts falling off are two common themes.
Company seems to be very professional, just quality control issues with the watch would prevent me from buying again. Only owned it for a couple months though, so a good couple years could change my mind.
