Highgear Alterra Altimeter Watch

Great Watch-- just too big for a small woman

By Ranked #640 - Altimeters October 31, 2007

Loved the features on this watch-- unlike a couple of previous reviewers, I found it quite easy to program. It's also good looking, sturdy, all around a good value for the price. Also, as noted by a previous reviewer-- if you set the altimeter first it's an easier way to calibrate the watch. The ski features, in particular, are impressive.

However, I am a small woman, and like most altimeter watches, this is a BIG timepiece. I didn't mind the weight or the look of the size of the face, but I returned it because I was unable to adjust the strap in such a way that the watch fit correctly, due to the diameter of the face.

One note-- in the photo the graphite watch looks grey all over, but in fact it is a silver face on a truly black strap.
