the functions of this watch seem to allways work as long as u reset the alti before every trip - easy - but what i love most is the storm alarm. its easy enough to know that a storm is coming by looking up at the sky, but when night comes and its a little cloudy and u want to sleep w/o the rain fly what do u do? turn on your storm alarm of course, which is fairly sensitive to changes is baro pressure. so if the clouds build up while your asleep your core will happily beep at you giving you plenty of time to through that rain fly over and sleep warm and dry- note that the beeper on the core is only moderatly loud, if you sleep very heavy it wont wake you- or put it next to ur head cause the alarm wont ever wake me when im sleepin on my arm. the flat and then 45 degree arrow is the barometric pressure- the flat part is from 3-6 hours ago while the 45 degree is from now up to 3 hours ago- flat means whater is same, up better and down is worse. if it drops for to long the storm alarm goes off if it is turned on. stay alapha and get out there! =)
