This was a replacement for a fob watch I received years ago that became part of my ski equipment.  The former watch finally needed a new battery and did fine with the new battery unless it was significantly below freezing, when it would start loosing time (1 to 5 minutes on a 7 minute lift ride).  That made it useless for it's intended purpose.  So I bought the Dakota Watch Company Big Face Clip Watch to replace it.

This has had five trips so far and is performing flawlessly.  It stays clipped on my backpack strap in front, where I can lift it up and read it easily.  About the only slack I cut it is to clip it to the top handle strap when the backpack is being transported to or from my car or when I am in the cafeteria for lunch.  When I am not skiing it lives on the pack, either in the back floor of my car or in my basement office.

It is easy to read and handles the -24 F wind chill I occasionally get into at the top of the Panoramic Express at Mary Jane at Winter Park CO.  Also handles the occasional smack of evergreen limbs when going through the trees.  It even held up on a fairly spectacular endo caused by some whiteout conditions and my sudden stop when hitting a 2 foot drift across a cat track.

Like I said, with five trips down it is doing well.  If able, I will update this review at the end of the season.
