Ok, I bought this Altimeter watch from Campmore. Its the Silva OC1 Outdoor Computer watch. Well, it's junk. I mean, the Altitude function for which I bought it for, is way off. I set it for my home-town Altitude of 615 ft, and it says 547 ft. Oh I can compensate for it, but what's the point? I want something more accurate. I know that the altitude is dependent on the barometric pressure at the time, and I can accept that, but jeez, you should at least be able to set the correct reference altitude for your location. Even the time function loses 1 min over 24 hours, and I find this unacceptable. This watch costs $150.00, and I think you should get better accuracy than this for that kind of money.
So here is my question. What is a good, and I mean really accurate Altimeter watch to get, and how much is it going to cost me to get the accuracy I need.
Thanks in advance
