Ski Speedometer
Filed under: Gadgets
If you've ever been curious, while hurtling breathlessly down a mountain, just how fast you were going, then this
is the gadget for you. Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a wrist speedometer than can measure your ground speed while
skiing, snowboarding, or sledding to track total range and best speeds. The wireless, coded radio-frequency transmitter
attaches to your boot, leg, or waist and projects a radar signal to measure average ground speed in MPH and KMH, as well
as maximum speed, pace in minutes per mile, distance in miles, total distance, and elapsed time. The info is sent from
the transmitter to the watch display, which has a built-in lap counter, alarm, backlight, stopwatch, calorie counter,
12/24 hour time, date, and three automatic speed modes (cross country, downhill, Nordic). The speedometer
sells for $299.95.
