    It’s a good idea. The watch I wear mountaineering is loaded with sensors, including a barometer. If my altitude hasn’t changed much, it alerts me of big pressure drops which means a storm is on the way. This is excellent when your side of the mountain is sunny and you can’t see or feel the wind from the massive system rolling in from the other side.

    Great for camping in valleys too.

      Why don’t you just feel the pressure drop in your bones? That’s what I do and I’m not even old.
