At the base of the mountain, your guide says something like "let's take a shot at this approach" and it takes you a minute to realize he's not talking about golf. Apparently in rock climbing, the approach doesn't involve a wedge or an iron. And where you are, there's very little grass in sight. But that's what you came for, right? The experience. At least you know you've got the right equipment. The shoes. The rope. Plenty of carabiners. And the Stauer TAC-7 Titanium Watch.

If you're off for a weekend adventure, whether it's climbing, mountain biking, or just braving the traffic to get out of the city with no destination in mind, this is the watch you want. The case of the Stauer TAC-7 is constructed of handsome brushed titanium, which has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal in the world. It's lightweight but incredibly tough. Characteristics that make it perfectly adapted to take whatever punishment you're dishing out. It's so comfortable and light, you'll forget you're wearing it. That is, until somebody goes out of their way to ask where they can get one.

The TAC-7's rotating bezel allows you to track speed and distance. The hands and markers are luminescent for clear viewing even in dim light. And a combination genuine leather and nylon band secures the watch to your wrist with a titanium buckle. The accurate Ronda quartz movement inside keeps precise time and the TAC-7 is water-resistant to 3 ATMs. There's only one question left. Which mountain will you conquer next?
