Anyone have experience/opinions on altimeter watches? I'm particularly interested in ease of use.
My only experience was with the old Freestyle/Sports Instrument product. Had to lug the manual around and it was supposed to be one of the easier ones to use.
Despite the price, I like the looks of the Swiss Army Startech 3000. I like the combination digital/analog display, although I have read the hands are not very bright and there is no backlight.
Right now, I use a Thommen altimeter, which can not be beat for ease of use, but which is pretty heavy.
THISis what I really want.
