Highgear Alterra Altimeter Watch description

The High Gear Alterra Altimeter Watch is a wrist mounted computer for tracking fun. Whether trail running, skiing, climbing or mountain biking, this High Gear watch keeps track of your progress. An altimeter with Ski Chrono function automatically calculates your total vert and speed of descent, and then saves the info so you can rub it in to your friends. For runners there is a 50 lap chronograph and split timer that remembers the fastest laps and average times. Despite its high-tech features, the Alterra Altimeter doesn't forget that it's an outdoor adventure watch. It is loaded with dual time zone functions, multiple alarms, a barometer, thermometer, and compass. The Alterra Altimeter Watch is a serious piece of equipment that provides the vital info you need to get the most out of an epic day in the mountains.

This watch is sturdy and has a nice easily read display.The major drawback is that it is quite large and thick.

Functions are awesome ... used it in Japan, shreddin gnar, great altimeter barometer etc... wore it everyday for 4 months and then it fell apart... the top half of the metal casing just fell off.. admittedly i could have glued it back on but why should I have to? ... my Suunto should be arriving any minute

I have both the Alterra graphite and Alterra shadow watches and I'm very satisfied with both. The Highgear Alterra watch is easy to program and extremely accurate. The time, altimeter, barometer, and compass modes have all worked well with no problems. The Alterra is not excessively large like other watches in this category. It is also very comfortable on the wrist. The battery is easy to replace. The quality of the Alterra is also excellent. It also has a mineral glass face instead of plastic which scratches easily. The price is excellent for all the data this watch has to offer. I own most of the watches Highgear produces and the Alterra is my favorite. Highgear has a winner with this watch.
