If your an outdoorsy/sailing person (most geeks seem not to be), you should check out Suunto's line of watches. The company is specialized in outdoor technology, and make some pretty sweet watches, with various outdoor functions such as compasses, altimeters, barometers and heart beat monitors.
Try to find a friend with a home server, who would be willing to offer you an account. (s)he's probably going to be happy with practically no financial reward (perhaps a few beers). That way you're going to have absolute power over the domain (as long as you don't piss your friend off).

The danish computer shop itbutikken actually list the percentage of products of different brands that has been returned to be fixed, when the percentage is high.
Large amounts of the page is, however, in Danish, but look for soemthing like this: "Info: Vores reparations afdeling kan konstatere at Net-hub af mærket D-LINK har haft en reparations frekvens på 0,82%. Tryk på det lille i ved produktet for at se om lige det produkt du ønsker måske har stor reparations frekvens. " ie. 0.86% of D-Link's net-hubs has been returned for fixing.
