Last year my husband and I started going out mountaineering with our children. We decided this would be a good way for all of us to get out  and get some exercise to try and ease the stresses of a busy working life. The motivation has been kept up and now I have decided to buy an altimeter watch to chart our progress.  Suunto makes altimeter watches, they have the Suunto Core Black and Orange range which is predominantly a mans watch and the Suunto Lumi which is a ladies altimeter watch.  They have a number of different models in each range so there is something for everyone and ones of the best features is that they produce replacements straps so the look of the watch can be changed at anytime.
