My answer would be very similar to Steve’s only to mention I have another watch including a HR strap and GPS/altimeter (Suunto Ambit 3). I use the watch in normal life and mountains as well as running or hiking, skiing and everything else. I am also very happy with battery life, for sure depending on the GPS use, I see most times a week long battery life. I’m ok with that. And yes, get the scratch resistant model.

ScottyP,
what Max McKee wrote is also my experience from the past two years.
I live in a not very hilly area and training endurance (running) was a subjective good choice to climb at least towards 3.770m (12,369 ft, Wildspitze, Austria) with lots of reserves.
The opposite has been true this year due to some nasty knee problems which took me out of running. I would think that riding a bike would be somewhat of an alternative being probably less effective with regard to the objective, but better than nothing.
And as Scott says, taking stairs instead of a lift, will help also.
It will certainly help!

Good luck!
Bernd
