This is my adventure watch. My two favorite specialized features of this watch are the digital compass and barometer. The secondary display includes a pressure trend which is useful to approximate weather variations. A downward trend indicates inclement weather and an increasing pressure trend indicates improvement in weather conditions. That steep downward slope sure corresponds with this sudden snow storm.
I wish the best for everyone in the new year!

It's a great backcountry tool. I've got the solar Pathfinder model and probably get the most out of the altimeter as a navigational aid in conjunction with a good topo map. Also fun for tracking your elevation gain/loss when climbing, backpacking, or skiing.

idoc72We were hiking in rocky mountain national park a couple years ago and I was surprised how difficult it was to catch my breath. I glanced at the watch and realized why! I typically calibrate the altimeter using a sign post at the beginning of the trail. Ofcourse, if the atmospheric conditions change, the altimeter would need to be reset.
