It has a ability to calibrate the height, but as mentioned it is
only in 200m intervals, so it's not as adjustable as, let's say,
the Avocet Vertech watch (which was, from memory, able to be
calibrated in 5m (or 2m?) intervals). 

For me, I don't consider its manometer an extremely useful tool,
but more of a novelty. I can see scuba-folk liking its below
sea level ability. A tool I'd prefer is integrated GPS -
auto-mapping and time-dating my photos feels "complete" to the
index-maker in me, and I can almost see the nifty, interactive
application that manages them. Maybe facial recognition will
enable them to auto-record *who* I am taking a photo of as well.
I am sure it will come, if it's not here already. :-)

Cheers,
