The Suunto Altimax is easily one of the most versatile watches for climbing and skiing. Its main functions include an altimeter to help time ascents or ski runs, a barometer to warn of rising storms and a stopwatch. The only real difference between this and the Vector and Observer range is that this lacks a compass.
