Product Description
Designed for the mountaineering, outdoor traveller, this hardy wrist-mounted computer provides all the information you'll need for any adventure, including a digital altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, and a regular watch. It's backlit for easy viewing, and water resistant down to 100 feet below surface. The altimeter includes functions showing current altitude up to 29,500 ft/9,000 m, and your ascent/descent rate in feet or meters per minute. Its difference measurement function allows zeroing of the altimeter for following your vertical progress between various destination stages, and the automatic 24-hour memory stores your altitude and ascent/descent rate for every hour continuously, with a logbook that stores total ascent/descent, average ascent/descent rate, and even the number of runs you've skied for the duration of the log. The barometer provides absolute pressure range from 8.90 - 32.40 in Hg / 300 - 1100 mbar, and sea level pressure range 27.25 - 31.90 inHg / 921-1080 mbar. You'll also get 0.05 inHg / 1 mbar resolution, and a difference measurement function that allows zeroing of the barometer for following overnight changes in barometric pressure and temperature. There's also an automatic 4-day memory--which can store pressure information in one hour intervals for the last six hours, then in six hour intervals after that--and a handy, adjustable, sea-level pressure function. The compass function includes bearing in degrees and cardinal or half-cardinal point, a North-South arrow, and a bearing tracking function which displays locked bearing, actual bearing, and the difference between these declination adjustments. There's also a bubble level to indicate level position to ensure +/- 2-3 degree reading accuracy, and a declination adjustment. The watch function provides a basic 12/24 hour clock, a calendar pre-programmed to 2089, 3 daily alarms, and a stopwatch and countdown timer that both run for 23:59:59 hours. You'll also get a thermometer, and the watch comes with a user-replacable battery. All this is packed into a 1.9 oz. device.

Comment:
I've only had this watch for a month, but so far it's been a solid timepiece and a good replacement for my previous athletic watch. I've used it for a recent century ride and hikes in the Rockies and Shenandoahs. The altimeter seems fairly accurate, though it works better when you set the altitude before using it (i.e., at the start of a hike or ride).

Too Complicated to Use

Comment:
I am pretty technical, but this watch is very very difficult to use. I just wanted to check my altitude for skiing, and even when I figure it out, I have to read the manual the next time I ski

Techno watch that is not backlight
|
Comment:
Incredible that a manufacturer can produce a watch that is not backlight. That means at night the watch is not illuminated hence the watch can not be read. It requires you to push a button for 2 seconds and then the watch will illuminate for a whole five seconds before it goes dark again. I thought they invented this technology in the 80's. The watch was a pain in the ass to use at night and almost worthless and I ended up sending it back.
Comment:
Since its been a month and the store has yet to send me the watch its a little hard to rate a non existent item. Im sure the watch is awesome, but the store sucks. Dont buy from it
