Pairs Well With: AlpinerX Outdoors Smartwatch

The AlpinerX Outdoors Smartwatch is a connected adventurer’s watch, boasting a list of features that make it a useful tool when you’re out and about in the wilderness. These features include the time, date, worldtimer, stop watch, smart alarm, activity and sleep tracking, notifications for phone messages and calls, UV indicator, altimeter, compass, thermometer, and barometer. All of this is inside a sporty case that measures 45 millimeters across, and mixes steel and glass-fiber for a durable, lighter-weight feel on the wrist. To learn more about the AlpinerX Outdoors Smartwatch, click here. 

Alpina recently entered into a three-year partnership with the National Park Foundation (NPF), the official nonprofit partner of the National Park Service. A portion of Alpina’s support will be behind the NPF’s effort to protect and enhance America’s rivers and trails in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the National Trails and National Wild & Scenic River systems. 

“Partnering with the National Park Foundation is a natural fit for Alpina given its history in adventure and the brand’s evolution of the modern sport watch,” said Lindsay Mellor, U.S. Marketing Director of Alpina. “Through our partnership with the National Park Foundation, we hope to engage with those who have a shared passion for adventure and the outdoors and encourage them to explore all three areas of air, land and sea.”

For this Pairs Well With, we’re following that spirit of adventure with clothes and gear for you to take with you on your next trip through the great outdoors.

FujiFilm – X100F Camera

The FujiFilm X100F is the perfect travel camera — it’s small, lightweight, and features a fixed 23mm (35mm with the crop) focal length so you won’t be tempted to carry a bunch of extra lenses with you.
