Just picked this watch up on SAC. I have been in the market for an altimeter watch for some time now. I figured I didn't have much to lose on a $61 price tag. So far I am surprisingly impressed with both the functionality and seeming durability of this little gem. It seems to have all the functionality of my buddies Suunto and designed in a user friendly manner. Since initial set-up (correct time, barometric P, etc), I have checked its' accuracy against several sources, the barometer as stated above is within 2 mBar consistantly, and the elevation within 30 feet or so. The thermometer like all similarly designed watches detects body heat, I realized that it is fairly safe to subtract 10-12 degrees F to get the correct temperature while the watch is on. I haven't had the watch long enough or put it through and outing that will truly test it, so I can only give 4/5 stars. I believe that it will prove to be a 5 star product!!
