T6c as Altimeter only (without belt) vs. Vector?

[suunto_climber]

Hi!

How convenient is it to use the T6c just as an altimeter, without wearing the belt? This would be for hiking or snowshoeing when I don't want / need to wear the belt.

So I'll set up a screen showing the time, altitude, and the ascent rate... And I don't really want to start the stop-watch (don't need the log), will all that work like this (also ascent rate in m/min)?

Or put differently: What will be the differences compared to a "normal" Vector in regard of altimeter usage?

Thanks!!
