What watch - Ski

[Don1]

One with a difference - watch for my sisters man.

He wants pure digital, and I thought as they are keen skiers, I would look for that sort of thing. I've found the Suunto watches, but does anyone know of any others? Price to £150.

Ta!

I bought a Casio Riseman before I went skiing, for about £120 I think. It's great on the slopes as it has an altimeter and height recorder for you to play with. The barometer (used to calculate the altitude) is very handy too. It's also solar powered and multi-band atomic. The only negative point about this watch is that it's a quite big and if you have tight cuffs on your jacket it gets stuck under your sleeve.

It was really hard to find one in stock last xmas, I expect availability is better now.

My son uses a swatch with the tag inside, you charge it when you buy your pass, it always works at the lifts.

I took my Suunto Core skiing and it behaved itself pretty well, check the "Ross Kemp's Watch" thread for a pic

When i go skiing, i always try and wear a watch that is as slim as possible as larger watches can get caught on the cuff and makes checking the time a real hassle. I also have a G-shock and when skiing for long periods (weeks etc) i actually wear it on the outside of my jacket (the velcro strap is very large and i have tiny wrists) this works great.

Thanks to all!

I use a Timex Ironman whilst skiing.
