My current watch of choice for the slopes.





Way back when, I used to wear among others an Explorer II when skiing.

I don't venture out on the slopes. Have watched and will watch again my grown kids and their families on the slopes while wearing my Tudor Submariner on a nylon strap.

Explorer II with a black dial has been my ski watch since 2009.

The Polar Explorer II is always a great snow watch. Depends on my mood when I go skiing. I prefer a white dial, most likely a YG YM.

Surely, the only truly appropriate choice.

I reckon Tudor BB PRO on bracelet with the T-Fit clasp would make a great Ski Watch.

Don't have a favorite to ski with. Daytona is really comfortable. Finally got some good snow at Mammoth Mountain!

Logically, Tudor Black Bays have to be the best watches for skiing with because of the Snowflakes!

My first Rolex, an Expl. II Polar was my choice for Alpine skiing.

But an Apple Watch if backcountry Nordic - it would help in so many contingencies - as well as provide you with pace over distance readings.

I don't ski anymore but if I did, I'd wear something with a GPS because I'd probably be wrapped around a tree somewhere off the beaten path covered in powder.

"we think he's in there somewhere"....


"maybe we'll look again in the spring"...

The rescue crew would be busy since they’d have to look for me too.

I don't wear a watch while doing any sports anymore after some accidents. Too high risk and no reward, I'll have plenty of time to wear a watch when not exercising.
