The other day I saw a watch advertised as a watch for pilots that
includes an altimeter. While I have seen these before for mountain
climbers this is the first I have seen targeted at pilots. My first
question in seeing it was "Where is the Kollsman window?" I tried to
find more data online but I can't seem to find one of these that can
adjust. I assume they are all set to 29.92 but I am trying to figure
out how useful this feature would be if it can't be adjusted for local
conditions.
Yeah. No Kollsman window -- no problem. I use mine religiously.
Mostly to keep an extra instrument to watch the cabin altitude on A320's
that I fly over the Atlantic. It's kinda neat -- watching the cabin
altitude on your wrist, and seeing it match to the highlighted altitude
on the LCD.

(Of course, this is all simulated. Not a real flight. But all them same).
