Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I needed an altimeter so I could climb some mountain passes safely after diving.When I saw this one I put it on my wish list and shopped the local hiking stores.Everything I looked at was double the price, and I didn't need a GPS so I ordered it.
Just picking this device up it feels well made with a nice heft to it, and looks much nicer than the units I saw for half the price.Also, the bezel that adjusts the altitude and air pressure is tight enough so it won't move on it's own or accidently, but feels very smooth when adjusted. And, it's very easy to read.
I wasn't able to give it a full work out, but I live in the mountains and took it for a brief ride and it worked fine.Again, a large gauge that's extremely easy to read, and it's in feet, not meters like some other altimeters.
So, if it's so nice why only 4 stars?Well, the lanyard that comes with it is about 14" long and is only adjustable for size, not length.In other words, you can put it around your neck and then tighten it up so it doesn't fall off.The lanyard is removable using a small plastic clip, which makes me wonder why it didn't come with a short belt clip or some other attachment that would enable you to easily attach it your pants or a backpack.Maybe you can find something at your local hiking shop.
Also, as with most altimeters, you can use the unit as a barometer and predict the weather with it.While I don't plan on doing this, the instructions were hard for me to figure out and I consider myself to be fairly bright.
So, this unit should serve me well, and I like it, but a belt clip would have easily earned this altimeter 5 stars.
