| Mad style, mad data, but no mad squinting trying to read tiny little numbers. The Highgear Summit Watch is a precision altimeter/compass watch with a large readable face and enough style to masquerade as a dress watch. The Altimeter can store up to 20 altitude points with time and date data and tracks accumulated altitude. The Barometer tracks trends for the last 24 hours, and provides a forecast based on that data in case millibars just make you scratch your head. Both altimeter and barometer are tied to the digital thermometer to keep them honest when things warm up or cool down. The compass is declination adjustable and works with the same rotating bezel that lends the watch its unique style. |

Bottom Line: A precision instrument with a hint of bling. |

Love It
Best watch I have ever owned. I take it everywhere with me. It is very durable. You may have to calibrate the altimeter, compass, and barometer in case it is off. Once you set it it is extremely accurate. It is also very stylish and I have gotten many comments about its looks. It is really fun to use too, my friends always come up to me and check the weather trying to see if it is wrong but it hasn't been wrong yet!!!
Good all around watch.
This is a very good watch. It has a very durable case and strap. The compass works great and is very accurate. The altimeter is not that accurate at least on my watch. It haas been known to change altitudes when you are standing still. The barometer is extremely accurate and very helpful with a little knowledge of predicting weather using barometric trends and the trend chart goes back a whole 24 hours. The watch is kind of bulky compared to most average sized watches. Definitely a steal compared to Suunto watch with the same features.

I recently bought the Summit watch as a less costly alternative to some of the others on the market. So far, I am very pleased. The watch is very functional and easy to use.
Cool watch...
It’s just a pretty cool watch in general, especially if you can get it with a discount!I found the 'temperature' functionality a little useless since it’s not accurate when you're wearing it—so what's the point of that?The altitude functionality is cool, but you have to set it up daily, or else daily changes in pressure will mess it up.The compass is pretty accurate and is probably the most useful tool on there.I LOVE the big numbers/display. Overall, a good watch for the price.
