I did, it's just that I was bragging about my watch, that thread got locked, so I continued it on a new thread.

The alterra is a sweet watch, I almost won one in a contest.

Cool, can't wait to get home and check it out. Even more so, can't wait to check it out on the slopes next week!

Well, got home, checked out the watch, and it dices and slices and you name it. The only thing bigger is the manual. Damn, we got a compass, we got a barometer, thermometer, we's got a chrono, alarm clock, and ski something or the other I think for measuring speed and logging vertical feet. Damn, it's even big enough to be a weapon if needed!

I'm jealous... should've jumped at it
So, did you climb up on your roof yet to see how high it was?

No, but I will be climbing down my stairs this morning to see how low the ground is, oh yeah, and to go to work

I got one of those a little while ago. They are awesome!! I have the belt-loop style watch and I'm not sure how I got along without it. Just out of curiosity when I was in Boston last weekend, I calibrated the altimeter before boarding the T on the Red line. I then stopped briefly at Porter and got an altitude of -45 feet.

A big change in air pressure could do that. But I guess it was a pretty fast change
Plus, you can always "hardcode" an elevation where you are. I think the newer models let you save elevation presets you can load.

Think it'll make you any better at 'going big'?
Yes it will, the added weight should keep me closer to the ground and make my landings better. Once I get better and feel more confident, I'll take the watch off and fly

A prerequisite to reading the manual would, of course, be knowing how to read.
