Highgear Summit Altimeter Watch
Cool functions but big as a belt buckle

I had seen the $500 Suunto and thought about how to use all the neat gadgets, but really didn't have the moolah. I thought that this represented the best deal for the price, and it probably does. However, the watch stands about 3/4 of an inch above your wrist and is as big as a WWF Championship Belt. Well, not really, but I am a little guy. This would not be a real concern for a watch built for outdoor functions, but they don't include a watch band expander so that you can wear the watch outside your clothing. I mean, why do I want to freeze my wrist so I can find the temperature of my wrist rather than the outdoor temp?
