An altimeter tells you at any given point how high above sea level you are. In other words, it measures elevation. This is useful when climbing as it gives you a good indication of how much further you need to climb to reach the summit or milestone.

work well for the price much cheaper than other watches in its company. I personally use for golf and picks up all courses you need in your area even when playing out of my area. keeps important dates on the calendar from my phone. all other components work as well just don't use them. part I like the most other than the golfing is, it lets you down load your favorite picture for the front screen ( watch face). great recommend better than the iPhone watch to me.
