Luxist Giveaway: Swatch Happy Games Watch With Snowpass Technology

Enter to win this watch! For the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Swatch has created three new fun and occasion celebrating timepieces. You can enter to win one watch a week until we have given away one of all three. This model is called the Swatch Happy Games and is the most understated of the three. Plus it has built-in Snowpass technology. It is medium sized and from the Swatch Original family of timepieces. Case is 38mm wide with a gray strap embossed with Vancouver imagery. The light gray tone and white face are hallmarks of the watch's skiing theme. You see a Snowpass label right under "Swatch" on the strap loop, with the Olympics logo underneath that.

Snowpass technology is really cool. Inside the watch is a small chip (likely RFID) that can be loaded with your daily, weekly, or seasonal ticket. The Snowpass technology is available at over 700 ski resorts around the world. This often makes is to that you don't need to wait in line at the slopes, and is a great tool inside of an otherwise good watch. No more carrying tickets either. The watch dial is very easy to read and should appeal to all Swatch and Olympics fans. Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA quartz movement. The Swatch Happy Games watch retails for $75.
