Fellow skiers...what watch do you wear?

I volunteer with national ski patrol, and I strap a watch to the outside of my vest for easy time reading and timing for taking a pulse. LCD quartz gets slowed down by the cold. I have used an Invicta pro diver, a helson shark diver, and now a Redux courg I just got.
Basically a cheap mechanical diver with good lume (I volunteer in MN, which gets very cold at night) is what I use. I can't be bothered with pulling my gloves and jacket back to use a watch.

Where you headed? I’m going to setup a few days in Vermont but waiting to see how the conditions pick up. Been too warm and rainy after a nice November start. Waiting to see how things pan out before making a commitment. Probably Stowe or Okemo though.

We live in a ski town in the PNW and I know any decent sport watch would work, but if you are just getting back into it a cheap beater or quartz watch might make more sense. Nothing worse then taking a fall only to find your watch came off or took a good hit. This happened to me crashing my mountain bike this past summer and somehow I blew a spring bar off my MM300, leaving it lying about a foot from where I crashed 😲 Pretty happy I found it, but I think a cheap watch or more likely no watch is the way to go in the future. Wisdom through learning 🤠

I’ve skied with a variety of watches, but my favorite is the Explorer. It’s small, thin, and easy to slide under clothing or a glove gauntlet.

I do agree if you’re coming back to skiing after a hiatus, you may want to start with a G shock or similar. That said, I’ve fallen with a Speedy in and it was fine.
