When in Altimeter Mode, the watch will display the Altitude History Graph, Altitude in Feet or Meters, Current Temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius, and Current Time
Barometer Mode
48-Hour Pressure History Graph with an X and Y-Axis View, High & Low History, 48 Hour Memory
48-Hour Ascending and Descending Rate and Calibration
When in Barometer Mode, the watch will display the pressure History Graph of the last 48 Hours Barometric Pressure in Millibars (mb), Hecto Pascal (hPa), or inches of Mercury (inHG), Current Temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius, and Current Time!
The good: Watch is not humongous as other brands, easy to read, cheaper than other brands. (You can buy it here for $59)
The Bad: Watch is not easy to configure, hard to remember functions, erroneous data at times.
The Ugly: For some reason, the manufacturer decided to put the sensor in the bottom of the watch, what this basically does, it reads your wrist’s temperature. DOH! This leads to the watch giving bad measurements.
The Grade: I will give this watch a B-. The aesthetics of the watch are good; the functions are great (once you get the hang of it), accurate data can be gathered as long as the watch is not worn. (I use a handlebar mount)
The Disclaimer: All opinions are based on the use of the product. I’m in no way affiliated with La Crosse nor Digital Kitchen Store.
