Summit
Don't waste your money on the Axis, mine crapped out after an unusual humid day in the Rockies. The Summit is of much better build quality and in an entirely different class. The buttons are easy to use with gloves and the interface is easy to learn and use. Has everything you need minus the heart rate monitor, but hey, you know when you're working hard already.

Not so great
My watch held up for about 9 months before the altimeter and compass stopped working (no, it wasn’t the battery). The last straw was when one of the plastic pieces that anchors the band to the watch broke off. Immediately after that, the watch stopped altogether. That was my sign to buy a Suunto Vector. I have no complaints on the replacement and should have bought it in the first place.

Untitled ReviewBesides this I think it's an awesome watch/altimeter and I will keep it until and after I buy myself a Suunto X9.
