Have been thinking about investing in a good trail watch. I haven't hiked with one in the past, but often thought I'd enjoy having an altimeter to track elevation gain/loss, and to keep track where I am on a climb. So I guess I'm debating whether or not I should just get an altimeter to clip on to my pack, or go ahead and get a multifunction watch. Does anyone have any preferences or suggestions?
I use the high gear axiomax and have been very satisfied; I also have a Suunto vector which I like, but he axiomax seems better built, more sturdy, and easy to use.
I do not find they are very precise, more for general altitude and basic orientation.
Casio's Pro-Trek watches can be had with the solar feature and, if you're willing to forego the titanium shells, can go for nice, low prices on eBay. I picked up mine for a song that way and got one with many of the "G-Shock" features my habits require…clonk, bonk and slam!
After A LOT of looking at all the ABC's out there the Casio PAW2000 was the one for me. The PAW1500 is very good to.
