Compass, Altimeter, Barometer, Temperature, Four Symbol Weather Forecast, and a lot more with a 3 yr warranty. Its the Dakoota Weather Master V. US Calvary has them for $109.99 and Brigade will meet their price. Myf ield experience with this product has been good and it is much smaller than the $300 to $600 monster size other guys.
Hope this helps
Al

Interesting. My Casio Triple Sensor is on its last legs, I may give this one a try when it finally dies...

Note thet the altimeter and barometer are really the SAME sensor, so it really has three sensors.

I have a Casio pathfinder model and find it to be very useful, although a bit large.

If you watch www.steepandcheap.com you can find the High Gear Alterra watch for around $70. They seem to have it about once every month or two. Picture here: http://www.basegear.com/alterrawatch.html

Seems kinda silly, what are those gadgets good for? I've certainly seen conventional thermometers that clip to a zipper pull for a couple of bucks. Maybe there's something similar to measure barometric pressure, if you want to predict the weather out in the field.

Why carry a watch, a compass, a thermometer, and something to measure barometric pressure when you can carry a single device that includes all four functions?

Personally, I like what the watch offers, I just don't care for the styling. Anyone know of a similar watch with a replacable (not molded) band?
