Have you a man in your life who enjoys hunting as a pastime? Are you possibly considering buying him a new watch as a gift this Christmas?

This is a rugged watch with a sturdy knurled bezel, a water-repellent nylon strap and a scratch resistant glass made from sapphire crystal. In fact, this is a wristwatch designed to stand up to rugged outdoor use without batting an eyelid.

This is an expensive gift but when you look at all the add-ons built into it you will understand why. It has shot detection technology built into the watch to keep track of when and where the shot took place. It maps the GPS coordinates of the shot location so that it can be studied later. The watch also tracks the path taken so allowing the wearer to track their steps and find their way back to camp or the car using an automatic breadcrumb trail.
