[pct-l] Min/Max thermometer for the trail?

[go4ahike at verizon.net (Brian Bowlsby)]

I have the REI key ring thermometer, but it only shows the current temp.
(no min/max)

I also have the casio "pathfinder" watch, which has altimeter and temp,
but no way of recording min/max temps.

I'm sure the Suunto wristwatch has all of this and more, but I don't
want to spend the $300+ on one!

There are many wrist watches that have temperature and the ability to 
record some temperatures (highs/lows/etc).  The only problem with the 
thermometer on your wrist is that it will usually register a few 
degrees higher on your wrist, especially if under a shirt or jacket 
sleeve.

REI sells a little key ring thermometer that you can attach to a 
zipper on your pack or jacket.

I am looking for an affordable wrist watch that combines:
1.  time
2.  temp
3.  compass
4.  altimiter

I figure that I will save alot of weight by carrying one watch with 4 
features instead of 4 separate items.

Most watches that have all these features are around $200.  The Timex 
Helix seems to be a little cheeper, so I have been looking for a 
store that has one in my area. 

peace,
dude
