I used this watch around town in L.A. and had trouble getting the barometer to reflect the correct weather, but then took it to Nepal for an Everest Base Camp trek and once I pegged the altimeter to a known altitude, it seemed to give pretty accurate readings without re-pegging the altitude for about 12 days. Now back at home I've been using it for running, and it works great.

I used these during an Everest base camp trek in Nepal during mid-December and we had mild weather, so these were great for daytime on all but the last 2 days before base camp. They did a good job of blocking the wind and cold. At the hightest altitudes and at night, more insulation was generally needed, so I wore my ski gloves. As they are not water-repellent, they weren't suitable for wearing on the one day we had light snowfall.
