Altimeter Watch - More Than a Timepiece

An altimeter watch has a unique technology which not only tells time, but also gives you useful information about your environment. The altimeter watch can give you the exact measurement of your position above or below sea level.

A variation called the global point system or GPS altimeter watch can serve as barometer, speedometer, and thermometer depending upon the model.

Benefits from Using an Altimeter Watch

The biggest benefit you can have from using an altimeter watch is your safety. The altimeter watch gives you all the necessary information you need to assess your exact position during a climb or a dive. There are varieties that also monitor your heart rate or sound an alarm to warn you if you have exceeded a specific altitude or depth level. Some high sophisticated models can even give you weather forecasts based on the readings of air pressure and temperature.

Altimeter watches are made to withstand harsh temperatures and environmental conditions. They are shatter-proof and waterproof as w ell.

Altimeter watches also give you very precise information and have built-in memory for you to keep track of physical conditions. You will be able to record exact altitude, temperature and pressure at any point of your activity. This is especially useful if you're engaged in a competition where achievement is measured by height, depth or speed. The altimeter watch can serve as your physical proof for having attained a certain altitude at a given time.

Even non-sports enthusiasts, such as scientists and researchers, will benefit from the information capabilities of the altimeter watch. You can record the time, altitude and atmospheric conditions where certain flora or fauna may thrive in.

Where to Get Altimeter Watches

Many known and respected brands of precision watches also sell altimeter watches, both GPS or non-GPS. You can easily find these altimeter watches at shops that sell outdoor sporting gear or even at specialty watch stores.

These watches are quite affordable and cost just as much as many famous brands. You may want to read product reviews or seek out opinions of other outdoor sport enthusiasts before buying one. Make sure that the watch comes with a warranty statement and list of service centers. Read all the operating instructions carefully to get the most of your altimeter watch.
