Angry frustrated by altimeter

generally like the watch and for the most part thought most reviews were positive...until i got the watch. i calibrated the altimeter based on my location - which i used my house and used Google earth for the elevation (at 361 feet). It seems like everyday i would have to recalibrate the altimeter as it would be off by 40-50 feet and even at times down to a negative number.

I know that with these altimeters u have to calibrate them often, but i plan on going on a really long trip/hike through india and into base camp of mt Everest, there would be times where i would not have access to a computer or an actual topographical map to recalibrate it..so my question is what is an easier solution? is there another Suunto brand that makes this a whole lot easier or another brand altogether..?

please help thanks
