Lightweight Wrist Watch with GPS

Think of it, a lightweight wrist watch with GPS that you can wear where ever you go or whatever you are doing such as; Mountain Biking, River Rafting, Snow Mobiling or Sailing. Did you know you can buy one of these GPS wristwatches for under $500, it is true? Even the most advanced ones are under $1500 and they work absolutely fabulously. You will not believe the features or the accuracy.

There are several manufacturers and you can even buy them online used well, if you shop around a bit. One thing I would recommend is to get one that is waterproof, because you never know what you might be using it for. There are many that are used by hikers, mountain bikers and folks that do back-packing or mountain climbing. These units are not usually water proofed, so you need to also consider that.

Another thing that is very important is to check on the battery life. Some of these units only last for 12 hours without recharging, but if you're going to be in the mountains for a number of days then you need to either bring extra battery packs or find one that has a battery life of 4 to 5 days. There are not that many that are like this, and the ones that are run well for 4-5 days are over $1000.
