Wear your watch on your neck

Watches on wrists are generally a hassle when climbing.  If you’re on rock, you’ll scratch up the face the first time you hand jam a crack.  On a snow climb, you’ll likely have a few layers between you and the watch, requiring you to pull back a shell layer, shirtsleeve and glove before you can see the time and elevation.
Solution:  Lose the wristband and string the watch on some wide shoelace material or 1/2 “ webbing and wear it necklace style around your neck.
