my Suunto advizor has packed in and I would need a replacement. Don't want to spend a fortune and the only "must have" feature (apart from the time!) is an altimeter
I like the look of the Suunto Observer titanium - any thoughts or alternatives?
thanks
Polar.
I was going to suggest one of these: http://www.watch-space.co.uk/casio-watches-g-shock-gw-3000m-4aer.html
but then I noticed the Altimiter requirement. Pity, that's a nice watch for a G-Shock, aimed at pilots, ironically.
casio protrek of some description.

Won't the pilots have an external reference as in blue good, green or building colour less good.
Wht do you want an altimeter? Just out of curiosity?
TJ doesn't know what he's missing. 
I want a new watch now. 
These are good to buy from too.
EDIT: I don't think they deliver outside Spain though.
don simon that watch is awesome! 
no way i could afford one of those though 
don simon that looks the business
and a good price here;
i don't need and altimeter but want one as i find it useful when biking and walking in the mountains
Buy a Casio G shock with solar power and radio wave cepter and save some cash.

Altimeters on wristwatches work by measuring barometric pressure and unless constantly calibrated (which kind of defeats the object) are not very reliable. There are much better ways of measuring altitude nowadays (smart phone, gps unit etc)

Gooner ...get that one!!!!
Radio controled and solar power is fantastic to have. Never have to adjust the time again.
Tissot T touch.
I think they are in budget and I love my titanium one.
Jeez do you lot compare Swiss army knives at break time?
No need to compare swiss army knives, if you havn't got the "swiss champ" then you are not in the club.
[actually it is possible to use one as a club. An I don't have one at the moment, but my son loves his swiss champ].
I don't generally like G-Shock watched, but this one I really like, and it has the solar power and radio control setting too. Best looking G-Shock on the market, and if I had the money I'd snap one up. A new computer comes first, though.
FTW.
