does the 210 measure elevation and elevation gain/loss?

The watch display does not display gain or loss of elevation. However, after you sync your workout data to Garmin Connect website, you can see this data there in a web browser.

No it doesn't, in fact after using it for several months, it's one improvement I would like to see for this watch.

Yes it starta at like 210 degress (i think) n then u can press the + button and go all way up to 420 or u can keep it at 340. Whichever u want.

It does track elevation, but you can only see it after uploading to Garmin Connect (it doesn't show on the display while you're exercising). Not sure if you can export to RunKeeper.

Have not used those functions. But here is the online PDF manual for the HR-210. It should have the answers.http://omronhealthcare.com/wp-content/uploads/HR210-IM-08162011.pdf

It says it does and I use that setting, but I would not know how to really measure or verify this.

No this unit does no show the grades of Mountain passes - i have not see a GPS that does that - what this does show is your altitude

Yes it has a read out and also tells you if you are in acceptable range. Also shows pulse. Love this machine

Forerunner 305 doesn't have a barometric altimeter, but it's still able to "approximate" the elevation/grade. As CompExpert mentioned, it does do the job, but it's flaky. If elevation/grade matters to you a lot you're better off with the Edge unit that has a barometric altimeter; however you won't be able to wear the Edge on your wrist.

not that I ever noticed but the dial does indicate the numerical setting - the display MIGHT show increase of calories burned as resistance is increased but darned if I know for sure. I just so far, have just increased the speed a bit but @ 75 years old just keeping a bit of conditioning. [trip when I walk - stroke]

I think it does. I had to input my weight when setting it up so I figured it was to calculate calories lost.

The short answer is yes. I use this to measure elevation gain on short hikes. It is not great for hiking as the altitude always starts on "0" (not the actual starting altitude) and when you turn it off it looses all data. It does stay charged long enough for shorter hikes but will be of no value for a backpacking trip. It will return to zero if you go up, and then back down.

I don't think so. When I use it to see how high my drone flys the display reads the peak elevation achieved and not zero when it returns to its starting point. Hope this helps.

I can assure you it will not, in spite of previous answer. The connector on the 2100 is smaller than this one. I gambled and I lost.

One does and one does not... There are two different ones. One I believe has the TBA in the model number, and it is a bit more expensive than the one without. The TBA model does compensate for elevation. But, its primarily used for bow hunting in a tree stand. I don't know how accurate it would be in a rifle application at long distances as mine has only been used to bow hunt.

I do not think .. I'm used to measure distances only. I did not find anything in the device for the rise.

In theory, satellite triangulation is one of the most accurate way of fnding your position, not only in coordinates (Latitude and Longitude), but in altitudes as well. Altimeters in watches uses barometric sensors to measure air pressure to calculate altitude. I'm betting the 305 will give me the closest, if not accurate, altitude than the best barometer sensor watch in the market. Add the convenience of tracking and recording altitude, with your heart rate, time, pace, position and distance at the same time. Why settle for anything less?

No, this model is the step down. Although it will sync with my bluetooth 4.0 bike computer and show cadence from that, but no altimeter. I didn't get the altimeter model because although it shows you instantaneous gain on a climb or descent, it's not something I would be looking at while working out. When you upload your workouts to the computer it shows your elevation profile which is enough for me.
