       My watch face shows my altitude. Because I live on the coast and am not particularly adventurous, it mainly swings between 14 feet and 24 feet, depending on which house room I'm in.My ancestors: “And people pay how much for this?”

       @tek Also on the coast, but not flat.My watch does altitude, but the fun bit is when I can terrify my wife after the fact by telling her how fast I got going downhill on a bike.Possibly related, it can also cause my phone to call her if it detects a fall. Good to know, some embankments are steep enough, nobody would know if I went over the side.

       @tim_lavoie Heh! I do like the emergency call feature on mine. My running path goes through an out-of-the-way area. It's comforting thinking that someone would come if I trip and bust my head. Also, that I could easily call 911 without breaking pace.

       @tek Absolutely! I am a little unsure about what it takes to trigger mine (Garmin Descent G1), based on when it has and has not triggered. I did have a spectacular splat on a trail run, and it didn't then. Not a busted head, but a dislocated shoulder. Walked out, drove (manual) home, then got a ride to hospital. Future "trail" runs I think will be on nearby logging roads, much less to fall over.

       @tek Hahahahaha. Yup, don't recommend doing the splat. Recovery is functionally complete enough to work out again, so easing into that. Haven't been back to running, should restart.Great medical care, some physio (with homework), and quite a few weeks make all the difference.
