Removed explanation that original question was closed as off-topic.

| Sep 20, 2015 at 22:42 | comment | added | ab2 | Pure barometric device -- I'd like it to be as uncluttered and non-clunky as possible. Many details of my preferences were in my original post, which was closed as asking for shopping advice. So your comment is that there is no objective criterion by which to choose digital over analog or vice versa? What about sensitivity ... I want 20 feet sensitivity; the old altimeter had 20 foot divisions, and one could interpolate (without great confidence) to 10 feet. Lag time? The old analog altimeter was a little sticky. | |
| Sep 20, 2015 at 20:21 | comment | added | user2169 | Are you talking about pure barometric devices (not GPS or hybrids that use both a barometer and GPS)? I don't see any reason to care about whether the readout is digital or analog. It just seems like a matter of personal preference. | |

Made the question more technical oriented; tried to get rid of the implication that I was asking about shopping advice
