I bought a cheap divers watch from a "large discount chain" to wear on
a trip to Equador. It did fine until we got to Quito. The altitude
there is 10,000 ft.


I've been there, too. Did you fly in? If so, what did you think of the
approach/airport? g

We flew in on a commercial jet and I didn't even get a window seat. I
didn't really get any impression of the approach. I did notice that my
skin kind of "prickled" when I got out in the sunlight at that
altitude. Extra UV, I guess.
