What watches are out there with a thermometer and the abilty to handle water that aren't bigger than your wrist? I've been searching for a replacement and I cna't find anythign small enough to actually swim in! Seeme like all my minimal equipment is failing. THe onyl thing still working as expected and easy to repalce is/are my goggles!

Temperatures may go up and down during a swim, depending on current, exposure to winds and shade, ... Dropping a thermometer into the water before the swim is a very good method but we cannot foresee surprises that may be waiting for us on our way across.
Another alternative would be a depth gauge with integrated watch and thermometer, such as a Suunto D3 or Suunto Stinger. They are very accurate and primarily used by freedivers.
By the way, I just found out that Rob Copeland has successfully swum around Manhattan in 1999 and across the English Channel in 2000. I would like to express my greatest respect for these achievements!
