Tired of using your old Timex stopwatch to time your start? Take it to a new level with the Suunto Elementum Ventus ($899).  Not all sailing watches are created equal, and this thing sets the bar. Not only do we dig the countdown timer specifically designed for the buoy racing, but we also love the digital compass. It is impervious to salt water, waterproof beyond the deepest you will ever find yourself, and styled to find itself equally at home up on deck of your sailboat as well as neck deep in the shark infested waters of your office. If you are a sailor who loves to wear your pride on your sleeve, this watch is for you.
