Besides calculating the altitude, the altimeter feature can be used to help predict the weather, too.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I gave this model a 3 star rating based on 5 for the knife, 0 for the altimer.
The knife is typical Swiss Army Watches - great build quality and if you keep it properly oiled and clean, it should last years and years (my oldest S.A.K. is 22 years old and is still working great).
The altimeter is just a joke though. It is way off. Standing at the beach I tried re-setting and I still was 75 feet above sea level! And for skydivers (you should konw better anyway)it refreshes only every 20 seconds or so, so you will leave a big dent in the ground if you use it for your altimeter.
Otherwise I recomend you get another Victorinox model until they come up with better altimeter.
If you buy this one, it still is a good knife.
