Highgear's new Axis watch is clearly aimed for you, dear active-lifestyle military person. If it's coyote color doesn't grab you, the feature list will. It combines standard watch functions with four sensors in a low profile package with a negative LCD and a user changeable battery for $160.
The watch sports an acrylic window and a poly-carbonate case, which keeps the weight down and gave Highgear a few more bucks to add in the altimeter, barometer, digital compass, and thermometer. Specs after the break.
