[Paddlewise] watches

When I come down from a hike at altitude (anything above 8,000 ft), a 
small amount of condensation accumulates under the glass.  It eventually 
disperses (perhaps after weeks), with no apparent effect on accuracy.  
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good watch that does not do 
this? 

  If you are getting condensation under your crystal you have water in your 
watch.  This is not particuarly good.  I have had diving watches for years 
and not had a condensation problem.  Maybe a jeweler could open it up 
and dry it out for you??  My kayaking watch is a reasonably cheap TIMEX 
expedition.  Cost about $50, is analog (not digital so I can see it in all light 
conditions), is waterproof (resistent they like to say these days) to 50M (I 
think- anyway deeper than I plan to go) and if I lose it I will not grieve too 
much.  I don't know how the watch would act at 15K feet altitude??
