Please edit quoted material in addition to removing header/trailers when replying to posts.] I have been using a LUMINOX Navy Seals watch for the last five years with no problem. I have it in the water all the time. It has a rotating bezel. It has tritium gas in the hour hand, minute hand, second hand, and for each hour. The tritium gas glows in the dark without having to charge it up like the more traditional painted watch markings. This makes it real nice for paddling at night. They make a number of different models. Mine cost either $200 or $300. Cannot remember which. Hope this helps. Jan Mason Joyce, Thomas F. wrote: > I wear a diving watch for all outdoor purposes. 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? Being able to submerge in shallow water 20 - 30 ft) is essential. What I'm really looking for in addition is the ability to withstand the altitude change (say, up to 15,000) without that condensation. > > P.S. The cost of the watch should be less than the cost of my last kayak. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
