Review of Timex Men's Expedition Adventure Tech Altimeter Barometer Resin Strap Watch #T41501

I bought this watch because I needed a new one and because I was curious about how pressure varies during airplane flights. So far I like all the features of this watch.It tells time quite accurately, is very easy to read in various conditions, and many of its features are intuitive.So far it also seems to be fairly rugged, which was a concern, though for under $100, I am not too concerned, as long as it lasts a few years.

Note that if you are serious about using the altimeter, you must know an accurate starting altitude (to with 10 feet) or the barometric pressue when you start your hike.Otherwise, the watch has no chance of giving accurate altitude readings.In climates that have very frequent pressure changes, you'll need a topographical map or wireless access to the Internet to recalibrate during your hike.
