I want a watch with a compass and altitude meter...

jonny2510

Okay, I'm probably being a big kid here, but I quite fancy a watch with a built in compass and altitude meter. All the ones I look for all either have one or the other, but not both

Digital or analogue is fine (although I suspect this type of watch will be digital)

I have a budget of approx £100, although would be much happier spending less

Can anyone suggest anything?

A bit more than your budget, but look at this one:

quality make, all you want and more!

Same watch, bigger range of colours, more money:

Not actually a watch, but very cheap:

Or a watch at £95

Thanks for all the replies everyone. There are some about then!

Will have to do some further research into them, but will certainly post back once I've made my decission

Thanks again

No idea how to make this link say "nice watch" rather than a long string of characters, but Field and trek have this reduced from 140 to 70

Ok, I think I've decided on a casio protrek watch.

Does anyone by any chance know any retail stores where I may be able to go and take a look at one of these, as they look quite large on the webite's, so I'd ideally like to try one before I buy...

Bought mine in a Samuels sale many years ago - would think quite a few high-street jewellers carry them. It's an oldish model (PRG40) - overall diameter around 2 inches, just over 3/4 of an inch thick.
