I’m in Brazil for the next two weeks, where tourists are well advised to avoid wearing fancy watches or jewelry.  So I’m sporting the Snap Watch. I’ve had one of these watches for about six years.  They’re perfect for any situation where you’d worry about losing or breaking an expensive watch. And they’re waterproof, so they’ll handle hiking in the Amazon, or spilling a Piña Colada.  Buy one for $8 at REI.com.
