HOW ACCURATE IS YOUR ALTIMETER WATCH? vs a CERTIFIED ALTIMETERS

I fly a Cessna 172 with an Instrument Certified Altimeter (24 months inspections), and compare it with 3 watches- The Casio SGW-1000, Casio PRW-3500 and the Suunto Core Graphite Crush. How well do these watches compare to a certified altimeter? I was very surprised how well they did.
After starting at 388 feet (118 meters) I climbed up to 10,500 feet (3200 meters). The three watches were within 50 feet (15 meters) of the Cessna Altimeter! Quite impressive for a watch that only costs about $50USD (SGW1000) and $200USD for the Suunto and PRW3500.
Altimeter watches are great for many things, but I use them mostly for hiking and flying my paramotor.

I love being in the plane Idk about flying lol but great video

I remember climbing a mountain once. And I was looking down onto a small plane. The mountain was 11,627ft. I wondered if they were flying low or max height. Seems either is possible? Cool video.

@cloudzrest 3 года назад

Good question, depends on the plane, how much weight in the plane, and temperature of atmosphere , many small planes can fly 10,000' but it takes a long f time to get there and most pilots don't bother going that high

I was thinking of getting one some time in the future if I ever get into hang gliding

The Casio PRG 270-1 is on sale at Amazon, at least at amazon.ca. It utilizes the same triple sensor as the Casio's used here. Don't forget to calibrate first. Happy trails.

Ive been looking for a test like this since I got into paramotoring recently. Thanks! I understand it uses a barometer for altitude. What I have not been able to find out is if you can zero out the ground level so that you know your height above ground. Can the watches do this?

@cloudzrest 5 лет назад

Yes all of these watches have a function where you can measure differential altitudes. Where you would zero it out at ground level . It's very easy on all these watches, just one button push .

Hey. Great video. I tried the link to your ppg channel and it didnt go anywhere. I was looking at altimeter watches for ppg and found you so id love to check out some of your videos.

@cloudzrest 3 года назад

The advppg channel is gone, I'll put the old adv ppg videos on this channel . If there's one in particular u wanted to see I can upload it. I haven't gotten around to uploading all of them

@cloudzrest 3 года назад

Also thanks for telling me about the broken link I'll take it down

@TSGear 3 года назад

No prob. I found some on this channel. Ill just stay tuned. 👍

@dave33gify 3 года назад

I just got an abc watch , the temperature off , not sure if I gotta set the elevation , or if it just automatically works out of the box

@Ryan-pv7nw 3 года назад

Temp is higher cause it's next to your body, your body is hot, the manual says to let watch rest for 20 mins to get an accurate reading

@dave33gify 3 года назад

@@Ryan-pv7nw was thinking that because of body heat after awhile those owners manuals are too small to read lol , think I got the elevation set within a couple hundred feet , I’ve been enjoying my watch
