Untitled Review
This watch has the similar drawbacks as the entire line of Suunto products. It has improved on the quality of manufacturing and the watch is not susceptible to damage. The altimeter is more accurate and I found it to be off by a mere 250 feet on average at various intervals during my ascents. With constant calibration this watch will be a great addition for anyone. Its temperature reading still reflects on the skin temperature of the wearer and thus has to be taken off for an accurate measure.
The ability to sync data with the PC is a great addition for training and keeping a log, but itself is not worth the extra money.

Simple Altimeter Watch
Needs to be calibrated often, but tracks pretty well over a short trip. I like it because it fits better than a lot of the other altimeter watches on my wrist, and I wear it most of the time outside of hiking because of the large display - very easy on the eyes.

Untitled ReviewI wish I would of bought the heart rate version to help with training but the deal I got on this a few years ago made it worth skipping the HR feature.
The altitude function works best with regular calibration at known points. That said there are many times I forget to calibrate it and find its still on target from the previous outing.
