Are you at, above, or below sea level? From airplane pilots to skydivers and mountaineers, the altimeter is an irreplaceable tool.
With an altimeter watch, you have access to a unique technology that determines and informs you of your current elevation, whenever and wherever you need it. An altimeter watch is invaluable for outdoor sportsmen and women who engage in activities like mountain climbing, skiing, snowboarding, cycling, and outdoor adventure racing. The benefits of knowing your altitude, and tracking your ascent or decent via an altimeter watch with memory functions, are numerous.
Certain altitude watches, especially those based on a GPS system, can track, retain, and estimate your vertical speed, or even sound an alarm when you have reached a certain altitude on your journey. Most altimeter watches employ technology that measures air pressure to estimate your current altitude, calculating your elevation by comparing it to the barometric pressure of the location at which it was ‘zeroed’, or calibrated. Moving upward in altitude decreases air pressure, whereas moving closer to sea level increases it. An altimeter watch that does not use GPS requires regular recalibration, typically by entering your current barometric pressure and known altitude.
Many different companies offer altimeter watches. Suunto, Casio, and Tissot all offer precision timepieces with top quality altimeter and GPS altitude functions that not only provide altitude information but other useful functions as well. For example, the Suunto Advizor monitors your altitude, vertical ascent/descent, and your heart rate – what more could a serious athlete ask for?
