The Hi-one+ watch, already a must-have in Europe, was worn by William Fox-Pitt on the cross-country course in London as he rode his way to a team silver medal. It’s easy to see why he chose the Hi-one+: The watch melds fashion and function with a large, easy-to-read LED screen that counts up with beeps and alarms every minute, intuitive settings, waterproof design and easy-to-replace batteries. It comes with a black or white case, as well as a variety of colorful wristbands in different designs. The wristbands can be switched out easily to match your cross-country colors.   

“Stylish, customizable, and supremely practical – it’s exciting to have such an appealing new option when it comes to cross-country watches,” said Paul Arnold, owner of VTO Saddlery, “We especially like the easy-change battery – no more messing with microscopic screws like some other watches.”  

“I was really excited to find the Hi-one+ watch because it was designed by and for eventers,” said Joe Adams, owner of Top Rail Tack. “The low-battery warning signal and the fact that you only need a coin to change the battery are just two of its features that are sure to make it a favorite among eventers!”

Affordably priced at $99, the Hi-one+ eventing watch will be available through VTO Saddlery (www.vtosaddlery.com) and mobile tack shop Top Rail Tack (www.toprailtack.com).
