Clearly you would be camping - that leaves £100 for gas, Kendal mint cake, pit noodle and a Sunday afternoon pint.

Game on.

I've got a Suunto Ambit 3 vertical, GPS and Altimeter. I use it for running, biking, ski touring. Really rate it. There are some basic smart watch features too displays alerts/whos calling etc from your phone if you set it to.

I have a Suunto Core with barometer/altimeter, compass, thermometer and other functions including, alarm, stopwatch etc...

I’ve found the altimeter pretty accurate, the compass is very good for taking a bearing - I’ve not used it for map-based navigation so can’t comment.  The barometer has accurately warned of rain and the thermometer if off the wrist seems to reflect the ambient temperature.

All in, I’m pleased with it.
