[pct-l] Lets Talk High-End Watches

[Paul Robison]

just happened to notice the pathfinder is deal of the week are REI like 89$ free 
shipping no tax.

that's pretty good deal;   that said,  it is not functionally accurate in either 
altitude or temperature.

but if you did want one you'd be hard pressed to find it for that price with a 
money back unconditional return policy.

get one, try it, and send it back if you'd like...

Subject: [pct-l] Lets Talk High-End Watches

Hey Everybody,

I have been wanting to bring this up for a few weeks.

I would like to know every bodies thoughts on the higher end watches like
Suunto Core, Timex Expeditions, Casio Pathfinder and so forth.

None of these watches are cheap and some of them down-right crazy expensive
(600+ for some).

Me personally, being on the trail I often times (most days) like to know the
time, the date (hey, days get long sometimes on the trail, eh), what
elevation I am at, and how freaking cold it is while I am all bundled up
freezing and trying to sleep.

That said, a person can get by without knowing pretty much most of that -
and some would say all of that.


But, none the less, looking for thoughts from those of you who have dropped
the money for some of these higher end watches.

If there was a way to get the Suunto Core to display the time & the
temperature, I'd probably already own one. But, I don't want to fumble
around when it is 3am and freezing with pressing buttons, just to see the
time and temp.

John
