It doesn’t tell you what altitude you’re. You have to set it but to set you have to know what altitude you’re at and I got the altimeter because I don’t know what altitud e I am. So how do I find my altitude without an altimeter?

As far as the product, it is built well and accurate but to read it, you constantly need to know the exact altitude of your location to get the correct barometric pressure. You can't just set the barometric pressure and altitude at your current location and drive up the mountains and expect it to be accurate at the summit.

I bought one of these about 8 years ago and it's been working perfectly. The only problem is the numbers are too small. One of my favorite accessories.

I bought one of these as a "Used, Like New" example. The altimeter moved slightly when changing elevations but was not accurate. I moved from 141 ft elevation to 470 ft elevation. The needle moved about 100 feet. The barometer never changed. I tried adjusting for altitude, but it still never moved. I gave it a couple of weeks, to see if it needed to acclimate. Home barometer was changing quite a bit as a low-pressure trough moved across our area. The barometer still never moved.I requested the return and Amazon did their part. I got the return code and mailed the unit back to Sun Company in Colorado. It took quite a while for the return to get processed and the refund sent to my account. I'll try another one, as I suspect that particular unit was faulty, and I'll update the review once I've had a chance to put the new one through its paces.

I chose the aluminum case and I am very happy with it. I live in a somewhat flat area so I was worried that it would not show small changes in elevation but I was wrong, you can see 25 foot elevation changes pretty easily if you look closely. I also love the barometer functionality of this instrument because it allows me to use it as an everyday barometer at home when I am not using it hiking. The printing on the face is very clear and crisp, also the needle is well made and comes down to a very fine point allowing you the ability to read small elevation changes easily. I would recommend this altimeter over digital ones because it does not require any batteries and is easy to use.

handy but I couldn't get accurate heights because the increments are not detailed or small enough. good for getting general altitude.

Check your elevation before you begin. Set the dial use it and stop complaining...
