Altimeter Watch's

[Smossy]

Doe's anyone use these? I've been kinda peeking around at them to add to my wish list. Looks like they could come in handy.
If so, what do you have?

I carry a GPS; it gives both altitude and the time.  I haven’t worn a watch in years.

I have the watch and have never really been all that impressed with it.

I have a HighGear watch. It's a good watch but the altimeter is un-awesome. They work off barometric pressure, so you have to set the barometric pressure for sea level, or know the barometric pressure and your altitude...set it that way. I don't think it's terribly accurate, but maybe I didn't set it correctly.

Suunto Ambit

I have Suuntos, Highgears, and GPS models. I use them all. It is convenient to have a wrist display. Used properly they can all be of value.

I have a Suunto watch and a Garmin GPS, I like the watch while traveling and as a backup compass/altimeter for hunting.

Suunto watch is really nice.  Too steep for my budget but if I was going to buy a watch it would be one of those.

I do not wear a watch any more.  I can tell time with my cell and if I am in the woods I can guess pretty much what time it is.

Yeah the suunto is actually the one I was looking at. Looks like an awesome tool. About $299 though. Spendy

So kind of an old thread but after all was said and done I found a great deal on a Freestyle Nomad altimeter watch, Works great. Full ABC watch, Altitude, Barometer, Chrono, Compass, Temp and everything else a watch should do. Payed about $60 when it retails for $120
