Product Description
In the mountains, navigation is as much about altitude as which direction you're going. The Highgear AltiTech 2 Altimeter tells you your current altitude and plots up to 20 altitude points by time and date which you can reference for navigation or bragging rights. Not only does the AltiTech 2 work to an elevation of 29,500 feet with an accuracy of 3 feet, it also graphs your vertical gain and loss. Its digital barometer stores the barometric and temperature trend for the last 24 hours; allowing you to predict weather patterns. A digital compass with adjustable declination keeps you on route, and the watch lets you know if you still have time to push for the summit. Weighing only 2 ounces, the AltiTech 2 clips nearly anywhere, so you won't have to pull your glove off every time you need some information.

 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.
A great gift or the man with it all. February 28, 2009

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.
 Not as rugged as it looks February 7, 2009

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.
A great add for anyone on the mountain February 2, 2009

Although the Thermometer responds a bit slower, over all the AltiTech is just great. I use in on my ski jacket to keep track of factors in the lessons I conduct. It's small, light weight and easy to read.

The compass feature requires frequent calibration. The altimeter feature also requires daily calibration. I am very disappointed in this product and would not purchase it again if I had the choice.
