 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have totaled my present work watch this week  (again - its a regular occurance in my line of work somtimes)
Since i now have to buy a new one i am considering one i can also use for skiing.
i have seen a Nike ACG Ascent Fresh Altimeter Sports Watch for £30. This seems a good deal and much cheeper than a sunto version (too expensive for general work!)
Are these any good or just a 'gimmick / toy' ?

I have a G Shock (steel with old fashioned hands that go round). No altimeter but boy are they tough and long lasting. I climb in mine and it's been in contact with some lumps of rock over the past years.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I have a Baby G, bought after trashing several watches in various ways (not sure quite why I'm so hard on watches). I have lost two Baby Gs in ten years but never damaged one.

Swatch Snowpass, around £35, and you can put your hands free pass on it.

Get your Union/Federation rep to contact the Health and Safety Executive, these work related injuries/damage should be erradicated in the modern working environment

I bought one of the Swatch Snowpass watches, as mentioned by Helen Beaumont - besides the obvious attraction of being able to load your ski pass on it, it was comfortable to ski in & survived multiple falls without getting scratched or working loose. A good buy for the price, even if the designs are somewhat uninspiring compared to the rest of the Swatch range.
