Question: how is temperature useful for a pilot?

I would gladly trade 12 hr STW for the temperature reading :(

As a big time ABC guy, I concur... Ill go so far as to say, what is the point of a thermometer on ANY watch? I have yet to find a really practical purpose for it. Kind of similar to the "time memo" function.

Still, this one looks killer.

Totally useless.

Totally useless.

Not true actually, when I sleep I don't wear my watch, so when camping I get an accurate temp reading. As I do a lot of hiking which involves camping, I get a lot of use out of the thermometer

I used mine in the summer before swimming... just drop it into water for about 10 min...

Also, if you take the watch off your hand for about 10-15 min you get accurate temp as well... this was also usefull during camping trips...

By the way anyone knows release date and price of this one? I dig it quite a bit.

I'm trown off by "smart access" - this usually reads "ridiculusly expensive"... hope I'm wrong...

I never EVER remove my watch from my wrist in the field/bush, unless I can't avoid it for some very specific reason. If ambient temperature is so important you should carry a thermometer (cheap, small and reliable), there's no need to risk loosing or leaving your ABC watch behind during an emergency.

Or you could just be less forgetful?

I hang my G-Shocks on the bedpost near my head at night, so I know the alarm will wake me up. So I guess the thermometer would work fine, however, when I wake up I don't really consult a thermometer before dressing, I just put more on if I feel cold.

That feature isn't so useful for me though, but I will probably buy this watch just as it looks so damn good for every day wear.
