Product Description
The Escape203 by Suunto is their first model in their category of hand-held electronics. It features an altimeter and a barometer with various memory functions. Features: The altimeter shows the current altitude, vertical gain or loss from the start of a hike or climb, as well as vertical ascent and descent rate Up to 20 altitude points can be stored in memory for later review The one-logbook memory stores total vertical ascent/descent for the log, maximum and minimum altitudes reached during the activity. The barometer memory automatically stores the barometric pressure and temperature, maximum and minimum values Normal watch functions: time, date, weekday Water resistant

Nicely designed, delighted! June 25, 2009

Riding bikes, hiking, or just driving, I wanted to know "How high are we? How high was that hill we just climbed or descended?" (GPS can give altitude readings, too, but they are sometimes not that stable in the altitude mode, depending on how many satellites are being received.) If you have the same questions, you will love this product. It offers a large, stable digital readout with resolution to 3 feet; simple calibration for barometric pressure; it's fairly compact and lightweight; water-resistant; and has a well-made, elegant product feel. It can also be used as a barometric pressure and temperature monitor. Love it!
 Useful, but know the limitations October 5, 2008

This Suunto altimeter relies on barometric pressure and a correct altitude reference point to calculate absolute altitude. This means that as barometric pressure changes, the reference altitude must be reset. This is a disadvantage if one does not have a ready reference point (ie, if I knew what the altitude was, I wouldn't need the unit!). So in that respect, it's only accurate in measuring absolute altitude when the barometric pressure is stable (ie, time periods of a few hours, as opposed to over-nighters or changing weather conditions). But many trail guides list trailhead altitude, so the reference point can be easily set at the beginning of a day hike, and will remain accurate as long as the weather is stable.
However, one of my primary uses for the product is to keep a running log of my total altitude gained and lost on trails, and it does work well for this purpose. For example, trails that guidebooks list as having a gain of 2000' (from trailhead to highest point) may actually have a total gain of 2800' because of the rambling ups and downs of the path. This altitude gain/loss feature does not require an altitude reference point and is not altered by barometric changes, so it does not have the drawbacks discussed above with regard to absolute altitude.
Small, lightweight, and easy to read display.

This is my second altimeter by Suunto.In fact it gets precise values
for altitude.
Perfect Gift for Hubby January 28, 2007

I wanted a compact altimeter. The smart-looking Suunto fit the bill and then some with barometer, temperature, time, and more. Amazon had the best price, and my husband is delighted with his gift.
