This one, in case you get buried inside your jacket in an avalanche

 

I have taken both of these on multiple ski trips, only 1 at a time though, as I don’t travel with multiple watches.

 

I’ve taken the Orient Mako and Dan Henry 1970 on multiple ski trips out in Utah and Colorado. Both on NATO straps for ease of adjustment.

 

If you're going to be at all remote, the Pro-Trek. If not, whichever you are most comfortable with.

 

All the benefits of a Gshock, but it’s actually legible and has easy to press buttons with gloves on. Indiglo is awesome for nighttime legibility.

Also cheaper than a Gshock.

cons—not a small watch.

 

Nixon Regulus Expedition

Incredibly legible MLCD display

Just look at the complete darkness legibility

A little rusty on skiing means G-Shock for the win.

Mechanical watches don't appreciate the repeated hits 😬

 

He's landing in snow (you know, the stuff that small children learning to ski crash in repeatedly....). In the unlikely event that he hits the snow (or a tree) hard enough to damage his watch, he's got bigger problems than his watch failing

Anyway - something with an altimeter, like a Garmin, might be fun

 

The Waveceptor is super nice, I'd take that...or, if I could find it, this TAG 2000 series, for obvious reasons:

 

G shock is solid or a diver on a nato

 

Garmin Fenix 6 - you will be able to track your ski runs.

 

This. I've recently started skiing with my Garmin GPS watch. Tells you how many runs you did, total distance covered, max speed, all kinds of neat stats.

 

Archimede Outdoor. Super tough, easy to read, slim and comfortable. Works just as well in a kayak as it would in the snow.

 

This, or any other comfortable liquid proof watch.

As I would be sitting on the terrace of a bar near the town looking up watching them silly sods throwing themselves off pointy rocky things, with turned up metal things attached to their boots….😬

 

I’d be hitting the slopes in the square G.

 

The yellow g shock. Makes you easy to spot in case of avalanche.

 

 

I would take the one I cared the less about.

 

Who cares about watch. Have fun.

 

Was gonna say G-shock. Most appropriate, IMHO.

 

G-Shock. Easy to replace when I accidentally hit that tree in front of me........

 

Wear whatever you want! It will be fine!

I tried to attach a picture of my ski watch, but having trouble with the "Insert Image" button. Any suggestions?

 

I would take the yellow G-shock. A bit of color can be nice. Also, if you're skiing with other people, having something that makes you easier to spot on the mountain can be good.

 

the yellow g shock

 

 

On any trip, bring 1 sporty watch and 1 fancy watch. Or bring your best GADA watch with a sporty strap and a bracelet to swap between. This is the way.

 

Agree. I almost always bring one watch for activities - hiking, snorkeling, skiing, whatever - and one watch for going out in the evening. For me that's a watch on a bracelet.

Since the OP asked - I'd wear my Citizen Promaster Diver 37 skiing, and have my Vero Meridian for after.

 

Yellow G-Shock all day long! Have a great time.
