Julbo sailing sunglasses

The watch shown above is the PRG-80T-7VER Casio Solar Powered Watch - Titanium, the same watch that Alex’s wears whilst sailing.

“A great watch. What I especially like about it is the barometer - and the 24 hour trend history. Often when sailing I don’t check the main barometer on the boat as much as I should - but this lets me see what is going on without having to leave the deck.

Before I started testing this watch I thought barometers on a watch were rather gimmicky, but its been checked against calibrated kit held by the UK coastguard and its generally fully accurate. Its often more reactive to a change than a small barometer I have mounted on a bulkhead down below - this lower damping gives me an advantage when sailing in weather where a front is passing through”

The shop is managed by one of Alex’s equipment sponsors, IRT.

All prices include packaging and shipping within the UK, and all applicable sales taxes. The shop will also distribute outside of the UK - please contact them for shipping prices.
