Price
ease of use
There are many watches with ABC functions (altimeter, barometer, compass) that climbers normally want for mountaineering, such as the Casio Pro Trek and Suunto Core series.
However, if you want it to have a GPS function and a heart rate measurement function, it will become a high-end model of Suunto and Garmin, and the price will be quite reasonable.
This instinct has the durability of G-Shock, and the compatible positioning satellites are compatible with GPS, GLONASS, Michibiki, and Galileo, and are linked to smartphones.
durability
Functionality
Instead, the screen display is monochrome dots, and the menu is divided as much as necessary to keep the price down.
It doesn't have the fitness data and playfulness of Garmin's ForeAthlete series, but it's probably the best model for general climbers.
