Origo's Rendezvous Peak altitude watch ($170) comes in a few optional styles -- with a black or stainless ring around the crystal, and with a normal or reverse LCD display. Its altimeter resolves to one-foot increments and the barometer graphs changes over the past 24 hours, while altitude is graphed over an eight-hour trend. The watch stores 75 altitude points complete with date, time and altitude, and for navigation in the backcountry the Rendezvous Peak includes a digital compass with a bearing lock to stay on course. Date, time and alarm (2) functions are of course part of the package, as are chronograph capabilities and a soft blue backlight. Water resistance is rated to a depth of 165 feet. Operationally we found the unit to function very similarly to the Highgear units reviewed last year.
