Watches for canyoneering.
I just flew back from a trip to Korea and China. (Sight seeing, not canyoneering :ne_nau:). Flying back on Delta, I watched 127 Hours again. They featured Franco wearing a yellow Suunto Vector in his portrayal of Ralston (great product placement-the damn watch is like a character in the movie). It made me think of the watch I wear canyoneering, a $25 Timex Ironman that refuses to die or get lost. It has now survived about 15 years of abuse. Even the strap is still going strong. Only the battery needs servicing. But being a gear whore I think a new watch might be on the horizon. Wondering what watches others use in the brutal canyon environment?
