X3HR vs VECTOR Altimeter resolutions

[ALAIN97133]

How come the SUUNTO VECTOR BAROMETER has ONLY a 0.05 inHg / 1 mbar RESOLUTION (5 meter altimeter resolution)

while the SUUNTO X3HR BAROMETER has a MUCH BETTER 1 hPa / 0.01 Hg RESOLUTION (1 meter altimeter resolution)

I will buy a BACKUP for my paragliding VARIO-GPS & prefer a finer resolution.

I'll try to contact the technical support as I need another watch for paragliding but I'd love to hear from people too. If they have any recommendations from their experiences after all you have to actually use something to know its strengths and weaknesses
