This is a great watch.  The altimeter is the least used thing.  Think about it, you can probably start in one place and go higher or lower to see the difference, but you'd have to calibrate it.
The barometer is very cool to get relative pressure.  You can see if the weather is going to crap or if it's gonna get better.
Compass gets you the general direction.  To expect more is probably too much.
I like the solar power.
I thought it might be too big, but it fits better than I expected.
