I won't say the ability of board to hold down power had much bearing, don't need to edge much when you have a kicker to launch off. My biggest jump was also a mistake, God knows how but it was ...
Basic Casio, from £10-£30 range here in UK. Or G-Shock, I prefer basin as very slim so fits nicely under wetsuit and gloves. I found one buried in sand once, lasted for years ended up losing it so probably still going. I did wear my Tag Aquaracer once -strap came undone and it was loose on my wrist...
