"A great watch/altimeter! Very accurate, especially when weather is stable. Just like any altimeter, the more unstable the weather, the less accurate it is. The more often you calibrate it the better.

Has a lot of great functions to use once you get the hang of it."

"To start out. . . The Altis ti and Altis SS are the same watch except that one is made of titanium and the other out of stainless steel. Both watches have heft and are built like a brick. The band is high quality rubber with breath slots cut into them and are fitted seamlessly to the watch."
