From Backcountry Outlet:
"In the mountains, navigation is as much about altitude as which direction you're going. The Highgear AltiTech 2 Altimeter tells you your current altitude and plots up to 20 altitude points by time and date which you can reference for navigation or bragging rights. Not only does the AltiTech 2 work to an elevation of 29,500 feet with an accuracy of 3 feet, it also graphs your vertical gain and loss. Its digital barometer stores the barometric and temperature trend for the last 24 hours; allowing you to predict weather patterns. A digital compass with adjustable declination keeps you on route, and the watch lets you know if you still have time to push for the summit. Weighing only 2 ounces, the AltiTech 2 clips nearly anywhere, so you won't have to pull your glove off every time you need some information."

Anyhow, I liked the large number readings on the front panel. I loved the light weight and the clip to hook onto my pack. I also enjoyed having the temp."

The big improvement, in my mind, is that you clip it on your pack or belt instead of your wrist."
