[pct-l] watch

[bharve at dslextreme.com (Bruce Harvey)]

I've compared readings of the Timex Helix with three other brands through
some elevation changes while on hikes.  Readings usually compared within 100
ft.  One of the other owners mentioned that his will lag up to 60 ft when he
rides up a high rise elevator then back to his starting floor.  It seems
most of the wristwatch types have some lag or hysteresis.
