1 out of 5 stars Nicely designed and expensive toy   July 19, 2010

Nice design and build, but only useful as a watch.
Altimeter is wildly inaccurate. Sitting on my desk it can fluctuate 100 feet within a day. How am I suppose to trust it for navigation? My GPS altimeter, bad as it is, is still more accurate than this thing.
By constantly calibrating the altimeter, I can get a good barometric reading. This number does not correlate to the weather station number that is located down the street. But, the trend is similar. As for predicting the weather, which is why I bought this thing, it is not any better than my own guess looking at the sky.
As is, this is not an extra weight I am willing to add to my hikes.



5 out of 5 stars A really nice watch   April 2, 2010

This is a really good watch for its money. I really like the fact that you don't need to wear it on your wrist because altimeter watches are quite chunky and feel awkward on the hand. With this one you can just clip it somewhere on your gear (or even the belt loops on your trousers). It's fun and easy to work with. One thing that bothers me is that the thermometer seems a bit inaccurate - looks like it's being affected by body heat even though its positioned somewhat away from the body (I usually wear it on the shoulder straps of my backpack). Otherwise the thermometer reacts with pretty decent speed to temperature changes.


5 out of 5 stars This is one great product   February 3, 2010

First.. I have been looking at the Highgear AltiTech for a long.. long.. time and finally bought one from Amazon. It has preformed better than expected and is a joy to own. I can hardly wait to take it out on my next hunting trip. The AliTech has been engineered with everything one could need. Also, Amazon exceeded all expectation with rapid delivery.

I bought it for my husband. He is in the military and he loves it. There are a lot of useful features on this watch and, it gives him something to fiddle with when he has down time. He always gets comments and compliments on it and has to pass on where he got it. It takes a little bit of time to set it all up, you must read the directions, but the end results are worth it. I highly recomend this watch, especially for that hard to buy for guy.

Highgear AltiTech Computer Watch with Altimeter, Compass, and Thermometer (Shadow)
I have had this product for a year. Last week, it broke off of the carabiner and I lost it. I wasn't treating it roughly, it disappeared when I was riding on the train on the way home, and all I have left is the carabiner.

Other than that, the face scratched easily. I work as a gardener, so it was often exposed to dirt. I tried keeping it protected, but that wasn't easy to do.

Also, the buttons would get pressed when I was wearing it, and I'd have to reset it from time to time. I'd like a way to lock the settings, because I had trouble remembering all of the steps to get back to where I started.

I liked the watch, and would have happily put up with its idiosyncrasies if I hadn't lost it. I'd like to find a similar watch that holds up better.
