High Gear Altimeter Watch: best value,many features.

Ever hiked and missed a trail junction?  Could have sworn that the next turn on your trail run or hike should have been back a mile or so? Or is it further?  Asked yourself ‘how do I work this compass again? What’s the highest point that I climbed?’  The High Gear Altimeter watch is ideal for hikers, snowshoers and trail runners that love being in the backcountry and want the hands free approach to information.  It gives you all this: altitude, weather and compass in a user friendly manner.   I use Highgear Alterra Altimeter Watch and highly recommend it for its functionality and its price. 

 HOT TIP:  Thanks to the High Gear Altimeter Watch you can now determine your way in the backcountry by corroborating with your topographical map.  Your topographical map shows you at 9980 feet there is a junction, take the left fork.    Your watch shows you 9980 feet and there appears the junction.  (I have truly experienced this and find it remarkably accurate and tremendously helpful).

Here are what a few others have to say.

• The High Gear Altimeter watch is "Most compact watch tested...and remarkably comfortable," and the “Price is hard to beat”. - Backpacker Magazine
• “I don’t wear a watch day in and day out, but when I hike I never leave home without my High Gear  Altimeter watch”.  Mammoth Lakes, California

The High Gear Altimeter watch is a must have for anyone that explores the great outdoors.
