Has anyone tried one of these watches that feature a barometer, compass, altimeter and thermometer?

Frank, I have one. I use it as a back-up compass, and the altimeter is pretty accurate, so I use the trend of the barometer to keep a jump on weather changes. My only beef is that it's so darned complicated to use. The instructions are about 25 pages long, and everything is counter-intuitive. But once the learning curve is over, it's a nice back-up and an impressive looking watch that you can use to awe other techies (read geeks) with :) Hope that helps, R/ Sluf Frank Lucian wrote: > Has anyone tried one of these watches that feature a barometer, compass, > altimeter and thermometer? > > Thanks, > Frank > *************************************************************************** > PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not > to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission > Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net > Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net > Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ > *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
I have had a Casio Alti-Thermo atch for a couple of years. It has a baro-graph on it, which is great for following pressure trends. You can set it to read temperature in Farenheight or Centigrade, and to read pressure in millibars (hPa) or in millimeters of mercury. I has survived ocean and pool water, and is suprisingly accurate...maybe no perfect, but close enough to be useful. For under $200, it has been one of the better watch deals I have found.
