Decent All Purpose Watch
I picked this up at a gear exchange shop for half the list price and it's become my only watch. Originally I used it to figure out how much further I was from the top of a summit. Now I use it for all it's functionality. I use the heart rate monitor when working out and doing heavy mountain biking. The multiple time zone support was amazing when traveling to india (10.5 hour time difference) and trying to figure out what time to call home. The barometer does a fair weather forcasting job. The graphing on the altimeter is a great feature. The stop watch always comes in handy. My only complaints are that there isn't a digital compass and the temperature always seems to be close to my body temp and no where near reality. If I ever destroy this watch I'd try to replace it with the same one again. Be careful around water though, the will take a little but if they become inundated the pressure transducer for barometer/altimeter will get toasted. Also, if you take it on an airplane, try to know the altitude of your destination so that you can recalibrate it easily.
