The Skywatch explorer 1 is a must have for all paraglider pilots,kite flyers, paramotorists etc. This rugged little instrument will give accurate readings for years. I have used a skywatch since 1989, and still have my original working on its same battery! I have had the explorer for about 6 years now, and seems to be just as rugged.
