Vector Vins it

Excellent mountaineering watch but often cumbersome for other activities. It is high performance, easy to read and easy to use- if you sit down and read the manual right when you get it. I've used the Vector on several expeditions to the Himalayas and elsewhere, and have owned 2 over the past seven years. They are durable and withstand very cold temperatures and continue to perform at altitude- my latest traveling to 7500 meters. The backing has been improved on the latest model (my main complaint on the last version) and so now it is easy to change batteries even if the cover has been sealed down in use. And, you do have to be sure to recalibrate it whenever possible to ensure accurate readings within 10 meters.
