Digitude
Rated by: AdD (more about me) on 2005-08-19 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1360

Pros: easy to read
Cons: altitude calibration

I like mine, the issues I have are that when I land it likes to read 100ft, even though I zeroed it on the ground, and that it will turn off easily if bumped in the plane.

Gotta have the Tude.

Pros: Lightweight, easy to read, comfortable to wear, glows in the dark
Cons: little screws come out of the back

I love my Digitude. I never have to look at my altimeter for more than a split second to know exactly where I am at. I have never had a problem with its accuracy (unless of course you go above 19K or something). I would never have an analog altimeter again. Too bulky, heavy, annoying to wear. The only problem I have with my Digitude is that the little screws sometimes loosen and come undone. I tried putting some clear nailpolish on the screws when tightened and it seems to help a little. Other than that, an excellent altimeter.

Worth owning, good altimeter
Rated by: 377 (more about me) on 2004-02-19 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:937

Pros: Accurate, reliable, well supported by mfr.
Cons: Low battery warning not dependable

The Digitude is a very good altimeter. It is accurate, rugged and easy to read. The mfr supports older units and offers very reasonbly priced upgrades, a BIG plus in my book. My only gripe is that you can't rely on its LCD battery indicator. If you do you may end up with a dead altimeter on a jump. No big deal, just put in a new battery when you see even the slightest decrease in indicated battery strength on the LCD. It does not eat bateries fast if you turn it off btwn jumps. The upgrade from the incandescent light to the glow panel is worth doing if you do night jumps and have the old style. The extra digit upgrade for reading out in tens of feet rather than hundreds is probably not worth doing, just not that useful.
