I just wanted to suggest a lightweight clock. "Hog Wild" toys dot com makes a little LCD clock + LED light.
Here is why I chose this instead of a full fledged digital trail timepiece.
– 8 grams
– $10, this is inexpensive, if I break it, I won't be upset.
– This is lighter than most of the multifunction digital watches.
– I don’t want a watch to get scraped up and catch on brush on my arm.
– Has LED light integrated.
– Most of the functionality of a multifunction watch is unnecessary for my trips.
I have a liquid compass, which doesn't need batteries. That with good map skills should be all you need.
An altimeter can be off and is changeable with the weather.
I don't really need timers / lap counters.
Pedometers state on the box themselves that they are between 70-95% accurate. Plus if you backtrack who can keep track of how far you’ve really gone.
– Waterproof
– Tiny, with hook for keychain.
