Summary:
A great timepiece with some cool additional features. If you need a multi-function watch for outdoor use, then take a closer look.
Review:
The Altitech2 combines several nice watch features with several cool altimeter features, and then fastens it to your body with a carabiner.

The AltiTech2 is a great looking watch, the clip is a solid chunk of metal, and the whole watch is just as durable; the watch body is made of a rubbery material that looks pretty sharp too.

The altimeter functions well, and displays information about ascent and descent. This feature lets you track your vertical travel over the course of a day of riding. However, if your primary desire is for an altimeter, you may want to consider other watches that allow you to transfer saved logs to your computer for storage, viewing, and printing.

While the watch and altimeter features are great, it's the carabiner that really sets this timepiece apart. The hinged clip secures the watch to any loop on your outerwear, for example a belt-loop, and lets you easily see the time without removing your gloves. If you've ever had to pull off a glove at -20 degrees, then you know how valuable an externally mounted watch can be.
