Suunto Core 2009

£216.00

The Suunto Core’s manual brilliantly explains how to get the most out of it on the hill. Aside from time functions, it’s the altimeter and barometer that make it so good. You can track your ascent, and set warnings when you hit certain altitudes, and it has a weather trend and storm warning function. You can lock and follow bearings ...

Momentum VS-1 2009

£210.00

With the Momentum VS-1 in Compass mode you see the readings scroll from N through NNW to NW, rather like a compass ball suspended in water. In Time mode you can pick a variety of displays to emphasise the data that’s most important. There’s functionality specifically for skiing and sailing on here too, but it works very well on the ...

Techtrail Axis 2009

£165.00

With the Techtrail Axis in Time mode you have three viewing options for extra info: Weather, Barometric Pressure and Date. Unfortunately quite a bit of the information overlaps and there’s no altimeter and time offering. The twisting bezel could be useful in Compass mode – but it is quite hard to twist and would be almost impossible to use with ...

Suunto Vector 2009

£150.00

Chunkier than the Suunto Core, the Vector is more user-friendly. It also costs less and could have more functionality for most hill-walkers. There’s a clear box on the main screen for barometric trends, and you can scroll between altimeter and barometer, which I wasn’t able to do on the Core. There’s also a hot button that takes you directly to ...

Timex Expedition WS4 2009

£150.00

The Timex Expedition WS4’s fantastic widescreen means you can get a great deal of info at a glance. It’s surprisingly comfortable and intuitive. The ‘analogue’ watch in the top corner turns into a north-pointing compass needle. And there’s also room for the bearing in degrees and in compass points. It’s brilliantly thought out. But it has a slightly over-the-top appearance, ...

Luminox EVO Navy SEAL Colormark 2009

£175.00

Luminox trades on its association with America’s elite Navy SEALs: its website is full of pictures of stealth bombers, camouflaged dudes and big biceps. Its Swiss-made watches have their own illumination technology. The Luminox EVO Navy SEAL Colormark is a sleek model that is lightweight, and features a unidirectional bezel and tough rubber strap. These are impressive watches with a ...

Casio G Shock GW-2000-1AER 2009

£150.00

A tough, shock-resistant watch that has been specifically designed for pilots, the Casio G Shock GW-2000-1AER is a good bet for the hills. With a built-in solar panel to keep the watch charged, it’s easy to read and water-resistant to 200m. It has a good chronograph (useful for timing on navigation legs) and the face illuminates automatically. The buttons are ...

Timex Expedition WS4 2009

£150.00

It takes more than a resemblance to a piece of kit worn by a video game superhero to meet the needs of a mountain walker. To increase their chances of building a watch that could look good but also operate in the non-fictional real-world mountain environment, Timex has teamed up with American alpinist Conrad Anker. The result is the Timex ...

Casio PRG-80L-3VER

£180.00

This mountain watch weighs 76g; solar power so no need for batteries; barometer; altimeter to 10,000m, temperature; digital compass; water-resistant to 100m; 29 time zones; 5 daily alarms. But like some other watches temperature range is only down to -10 deg C; the styling is very aggressive; solar power inflates the price.
