Default Telling time on the slopes

I check the time as I board the lift. The lift house always has a big
clock glaring at you...

time when you're on the slopes -- how do you do it? I can't wear a
wris****ch because I wear long gloves with wrist protectors underneath.
It's impractical to place a watch in a warm interior pocket because
getting it out would require too much unzipping and fumbling. What I do
is put it in an exterior jacket pocket high on my chest, where it's
least likely to get banged when I wipe out. I can take it out for a
glance fairly easily, but I'm concerned that exposure to the cold (the
outer pocket is not insulated) may eventually damage it.
