You set the altimeter setting on the watch at your starting point, or at the reference point for ground level. At least that's how the Vertech works. I have a Nike-branded altimeter watch. It seems accurate enough if it is set before a flight and it gives you a neat graph of a flight, but it is not so good if you want to know your altitude from moment to moment. It only seems to update about every five minutes or so, although you can manually force it to update with several button pushes. I wanted it so I could cheat a bit when I do "covered altimeter" work with my students, but its usefulness for this is limited. Vaughn |
