I used to own and love Suunto watches for hiking and mountaineering (I had 2 of them, long story....). Good watches but pricey.
And I know do-everything-smart watches are ALL the rage, but here's a much cheaper but still very robust alternative, get a cheap but still excellent altimeter watch and use your phone for your GPS, since chances are you'll have your phone with you. A good app on your phone, like Backcountry Navigator, Gaia, or Caltopo will treat you very well for navigation. I completely believe that my current phone's GPS is more accurate than a late model Garmin (a 30x model).
For a cheap, but still excellent and very accurate altimeter watch, I now use this Casio:

Honest to doG, I think this line of altimeter watches is more accurate than my older $200 Suunto altimeter watch. Sure, of course, it has to be calibrated to a know altitude often, as do all altimeter watches that run off of barometric pressure. But once calibrated, it seems to be very accurate. My old Suunto used to drift low as you climbed, my tests showed about 5-7%, meaning on a 2000 foot climb, it would drift low by 100 feet or more. My casio does NOT have this drift. My theory is that Suunto is a Finnish brand, and the atmospheric profile at very northern latitudes is different from our more modest USA (or Japanese, where I assume Casio is made) latitudes. Just a theory.
I resist buying a multi-hundred dollar watch, who needs all those electronics when your phone has this already. Just my own M.O.
