its worse then i thought.
ill get you a hot water bottle and some warm milk
Thanks. That'll save me having to search the cupboard for them. Cos that's too difficult.

There's a thread or two at kite forum.com
why do you keep directing everyone to that pirouette **** show seabreeze is miles better
Twice recently. You want to know why? Because the info is there and not here. It's THERE and NOT HERE, Carl!
well can we get a link? 
You want a link...
We all knew Nick was special after seeing this a few years ago.

Just put the woo on the end of my dick
Gave a reading of 13 inches
Do not buy this product it's highly inaccurate 
This may sound nooby, but you can download apps that do what the Woo does, using your phone's accelerometer device to do the same thing! And it's free! Yeah you won't be able to join the elitists on the Woo charts, but at least you have a device that will give you your height stats and more! Just go to App Store and search accelerometer or "throw phone" apps.

probably no less accurate
Sam Light logged 36m one session and Woo deleted it as they said it wasn't a legit reading... I'd say no Woo readings are "legit readings", they should focus their whole website.

and some of these waterproof phones like the android galaxy s4 active also have GPS and a Barometer not just the accelerometer.
rather then throw phone.... just download any flight computer app like dashboard etc
One time they need to make it GPS. My two cents though, a bloke in Lanka had one, and he wanted to crack the 10m mark that day. I think he was on a 10 in like 25-28 knots. It seemed pretty accurate then, he made it by 0.1, and watching him I would have said that was pretty close. I think once you start to add more variables like waves and kite loops and that they lose their accuracy. Would like to try the freestyle out though. Dunno how good that one would be.

puetz the barometers are actually sensitive to light of all things so im sure our watch is fully enclosed. and even water proof. this then would mean the barometric pressure inside the watch should pretty much stay the same.
i am sure it would be useful perhaps riding a bike up a mountain ridge line etc given large amounts of time to adjust, think of the pressure change in a water bottle as you climb to cruising altitude in a plane.
this is one of the issues with using a barometer for measuring kite jumps but all that would be required is a permeable membrane that would nearly stop all water (wetsuits anyone?) but still allow for the atmospheric pressure. if you fold a bag several times air can still get thru all the loose folds but water will not. not exactly rocket science. all they had to do was ask a smoker how he gets his ciggy fix out on the water and they would have been able to show a plethora of home job waterproofing methods.
but were not interested in function we are only interested in sleek sell-able designs
... hmmmm, barometers sensitive to light,,,, that's a new one for me,,, are you sure about that??
I kind of get what your trying to say but I kind of think your wrong. The barometer in my little watch works pretty well, just that it doesn't like fast rate change so hence why it doesn't keep up with say kiteboarding jumps. I sometimes fly in pressurised and none pressurised aircraft's to keep myself entertained as I track the flight and when I get a chance, in the small planes of course, I watch the aircraft's gauges to see how accurate my little watch is,,,, and it does a stella job, usually spot on too.
The Garmin GPS watch, as I understand, uses the barometer in conjunction with the GPS to get its height data and from roughly 350 or so sessions I've recorded in the last couple years I've found its the rate of change that stuffs 'em up for accuracy ie how quickly you go up/down. The little sensor can't keep up! It can when its a slow enough rate of change. The barometer being used as a barometer say for weather changes, is accurate I've found. I always wondered how my little watch stacks up so I did a kind of calibration experiment ('cause some times nerds need to do these things) with a proper ships barometer and the little watch was accurate,,,, followed each pressure change nicely,,, good enough for me.
Anyway, you've probably stopped reading when I said I think your wrong so I'll shut up now.

The Xensr has GPS built in. The threads on the other forum do have some guy doing a comparison. Long and short is that its more or less comparable - or at least as comparable as the tests I have seen with people putting 2 woo devices on the same board (yep different readings there too).
I don't think the GPS is going to help with accuracy. I had a session on the Xensr where my jumps were higher than I thought but I do remember making really floaty jumps that day. My take is that the hang time affects the height in the algorithms quite a bit.
Best to be in the game at the beginning whilst you can take advantage of the bugs and get higher up the score boards eh?
North has one too, with an actual screen in it so you can check the height in real time, just after you land. I'm waiting for gen 2 of all of them...
Hey everyone, there is a new tracker i am going to test that has both GPS and accelerometer, www.traceup.com , Xensr seems to still be in Beta.
