Excellent watch for the money, with a large display that is easy to read while you’re on the trail, the thermometer is accurate; just make sure that you compensate for your body heat raising the temps a few degrees. A bit confusing on the barometric pressure and elevation, but that is probably more user error, than watch function.
More gagets then Buzz Lightyear!
