Avocet Watches 

Avocet watches are created with bikers, hikers, skiers and Alpine enthusiasts in mind.  Avocet popularized the altimeter and heart rate watches. Sold under the model name of Vertech, the watches are in their second edition.  The company was started in 1992 and has been specializing in altimeter watches.

The Avocet Vertech II watch displays altimeter changes of five foot and ten foot increments, current ascent/descent rate, daily vertical feet, yearly vertical feet, maximum ascent rate, average ascent rate, barometer, barometric trend for weather prediction, temperature sensing unit, full-function chronometer, timer, and alarm.  Other watch model on the Avocet watch range includes the Vertech Ski and Vertech Alpin.  These watches can quantify ascent, a unique feature of Avocet watches.  The Vertech Ski is fantastic for skiers because the ski function will, in addition to previous functions, record how many runs you have skied.  A useful extension of this function is that the average rate of feet traveled over a predetermined period of time can be measured.

Another unique function of some of the models is the barometer which can compute barometric pressure from a known altitude.  All models come with chronographs with split and lap functions and a memory system for recording laps. Avocet also make a heart rate watch for men and women.

Price range of Avocet watches is US$25 to US$150.
