The Silva Tech4o wrist computers are on sale via Silva, in limited amounts as "salesman samples" from a model that seems not to have gone far, the "Thruhiker" (aka Weathermaster VIII).

Precision altimeter watch and digital compass for wayfinding
Barometer and thermometer monitor weather conditions
Time mode includes Dual Time for travel and 2 Alarms
Chrono with 100 lap memory

The Silva watches have some positive reviews on Backpackgeartest, and some negative reviews on BPL, particularly in regard to the minimal water resistance rating. Either way, this price is low.

Bit of a zombie, but I just dug this out of a drawer, replaced the cracked strap and dead battery and it works!  Then I looked it up, and found this thread, when I reported on them in the first place, several years ago.
