Does this watch track elevation?

Yes, it does track elevation. I'm not sure if you can view elevation info on the watch itself, but once you upload the run data into something like Garmin Connect or Strava you will be able to see elevation gain and an elevation graph.

I think it does. If not, then at the very least it tracks your longitude and latitude, and then any website you upload the data to should be able to to figure out your elevation based on those.

No. It just monitors actual steps you take. Swimming for example would not be monitored either.

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.

Sorry, I don't know. I bought this watch years ago and it did not have that feature then.

I've only been able to enter my weight. And my assumption is that without having a field for height it is not too accurate especially without the heart rate monitor feature. The watch is what it is. An inexpensive GPS watch that tracks your runs.

Yes, for the most part. However, I've noticed that it has occasionally been off, mostly overestimating my speed and distance. My other complaint is that it takes a few minutes to locate the gps signal. It also seems that the watch functions better when fully charged.

Yes it does. It will quickly synch wirelessly to Garmin Connect and you can see max, average and a HR graph in garmin connect on your phone or computer. I presume you can see them on the watch itself, but I haven't looked. The app is far more user friendly.

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?

Yes, the Ultra does count hills and altitude as steps climbed. Just a word of caution, it does also counts altitude as steps climbed when driving in the car going over an overpass for example. To avoid this, I put my Fitbit on the charger while driving in the car. It will not count steps while docked.

To my knowledge it does not. . It only shows the current pace... I will have to check the settings. If you are looking for a simple watch this is the one for you. It's a great watch. ..

I don't think so. I have a Garmin watch that tracks miles when I run. I bought this as a heart rate monitor. It works pretty good but you do have to hold your finger over the face of the watch for approx 5 seconds.

Yes it does. It can jump around a bit, and lags by a few seconds when the terrain changes quickly, but it's good enough to give you a read on whether you're climbing or not. Even better is the graphical display that shows the terrain profile as you ride. It allows you to judge the current slope and shows you the recent history of the ride.

No, this watch does not track your sleep or your steps. It a GPS, very accurate, track miles walked, miles run, and miles biked. Many other things as well. Good piece of equipment.

yes it does if you call garmin they will help you sat up a Icon and it will let you know, if there is new up dates

Altitude or more specifically elevation is recorded and reviewable once uploaded to your computer via MySports but you cannot see this measurement on the watch's screen. I am sure if there was enough demand, the engineers at TomTom could program the watch to display it.

Yes, When you download your run data to your computer you will get a GPS map and the path you ran super imposed on in. At the bottom is a graph that will track pace, altitude, speed, and distance. It is my first GPS watch but I have been very pleased. No complaints.

No. Only when you download your workout can you see the altitude along your treaded /biked path but not on its own as a separate reading.
