Good watch for the money

By Eric Miller August 14, 2006

If you don't have the coin to drop on a Suunto, this watch is a good alternative.

This watch gets the basic functions down. The altimeter is fairly accurate when it is calibrated to a known elevation before use. The altitude log does a good job of tracking total ascent and descent. The compass is good for getting a general idea of your bearing. I have yet to use the ski chronograph so I cannot comment on its function. I have also only dabbled a little with the barometer.

The thing I wish this watch could do is link to a computer so I could download trip or lap information for easier tracking of training.

All in all I am pleased with this watch and will use it for many years to come.
