Gart Sports was selling the $160 Alta/Freestyle Altimeter watches for <$50 around Christmas. You might look for them to go on sale again. They still had a bunch the last time I looked. Haven't tried mine out yet, but the watch has excellent reviews on the web and is reportedly accurate to +/-1 meter. REI Outlet was selling them for around $80, but I'd check Gart Sports first and save the shipping (I think the non-sale price was $70).
