Low Profile for such a huge face, Good functions

By Jonathan Callahan Ranked #51 - Altimeters December 21, 2011

Recently upgraded from a old High Gear altimeter to the Core special edition (black rubber band, green aluminum watch face). I have a medium to small wrist and was concerned the watch face would be too big. In reality the watch fits much better than my High Gear as the watch body is quite thin. The large diameter face meanwhile makes it easy to read.
Current gripes - on the special edition the buttons are made of metal and have a lot of texture. While this makes it easy to press buttons with gloves on, it can be irritating if the buttons dig into your wrist. Assuming this is less of an issue on the standard plastic buttons.
The other thing I'm getting used to is understanding how to use the advanced features of the watch. The instruction manual that came with the watch didn't provide any description of how to work with the advanced features (e.g. the storm alarm - sounds great but I haven't determined when I should expect it to pop up).
All in all, I really like this watch for its design and quality workmanship.
