From REI:
"This compact instrument can help you plan your outdoor activities by measuring wind speed, wind chill, temperature, barometric pressure and altitude. Wind speed mechanism shows maximum, average and current speed, measured in mph, knots, and more; measures wind speeds up to 90 mph. Wind chill is calculated and displayed in relation to current temperature and wind speed. Current temperature is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius; temperature range is -4 to 131 F, or -20 to 55 C. Barometer setting shows current barometric pressure and the pressure change over the previous 16 hours to indicate the weather trend. Altitude is measured in feet or meters; range is from 0 to 30,000 feet, to within +/- 3 feet accuracy (or 0 - 10,000 meters, +/- 1 meter). Made of durable, lightweight ABS plastic with a large, easy-to-read LCD display; a lanyard is included for wearing the instrument around the neck. Includes a replaceable, 3-volt lithium battery; battery life is approximately four years. Closeout."

"Had to return the first one, altimeter woud not stay in calibration. I cafefully read the instructions also.

Same problem with the second one, and I returned it also. A few other people even tried setting it in case I was fat-fingering it.

The other functions worked fine."

"For the last two years I've owned a Brunton Sherpa. I use it mostly for the barometric pressure and altitude functions, and it has been reliable. The Sherpa also offers wind speed/velocity and temperature, for the latter the instrument must be held away from the body for a minute or so."
