DanO Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Like to find a simple watch with a few functions. Mainly altimeter and time Maybe alarm clock. I find most watches have too many features for my taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I find that this one is just right Dan: https://www.casio.com/products/watches/sports/sgw300h-1av Been using it for a decade or more with no issues other than a new battery.

DanO Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Thanks for the suggestion, but more features than i like, it is hard for me to squint to see the small font and work the multiple features, buttons on most modern watches..

genepires Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 do you want a barometer or GPS based altimeter watch? or both? You may not like this answer but maybe just use your smartphone for gps based altitude? Maybe you could make the display large font? some app? If you really want a watch display, maybe a iphone to iwatch app? I am with you on the small screen problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanO Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) There are about a zillion watch designs out, just need something simple and to me practical. Only time, and altitude, I really want at a reasonable price, --- to judge rate of travel and navigation aid, a very tough watch. It seems some of the pilot watches may work, i will keep looking.

DanO Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) https://www.watchprosite.com/horological-meandering/favre-leuba-bivouac-ref-53203-/17.1281296.10817441/ Something like this watch, but modern at reasonable price, scratch proof, not too big and heavy. One time zone, altimeter and maybe one alarm time. Cool name, it can be analog or digital display. Old school simple navigation aid. A real climber watch must be very tough , that occasional hand jam, will destroy a watch. Edited December 15, 2019 by DanO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanO Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hello For better or worse i am going try the Citizen Altichron Promaster watch. It seems of the kind of design I want. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
