Sports reviews of Highgear Alterra Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, Compass, and Thermometer (Shadow)Customer Review: Reliable and Affordable Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a great watch for someone who wants all the bells and whistles of a good, outdoor computer watch at a good price. I have several friends who own other brands with the exact same functions, and they paid two or three times as much.
The watch face is large and easy to read, and the functions and buttons are easy to use, making it a very user-friendly.
I have used it all over the world in a variety of climates and situations and have yet to find a significant complaint about it. I purchased it for the compass, altimeter, and thermometer. All have been accurate and helpful, especially the compass; I carry a GPS for more accurate orientation but it's nice to just glance down at my watch for a quick direction and heading.
I have been very happy with this watch and would highly recommend it to anyone.
