Slightly OT but has anyone ever used a Suunto watch while flying?

I'm thinking about getting one for my climbing /skiing etc. and it
dawned on me that the 3' altimeter (supposedly accurate to 29000')
might be a handy back-up.


I've been wearing a Suunto for about 4 yrs. now. It is a
surprisingly reliable watch (although it's BIG). The altimeter
function is very accurate and has come in handy in the airplane.
Once as a tie-breaker when the altimeter and encoder didn't agree and
just a few weeks ago when I had the misfortune of having little bugs
invade my pitot/static system.
