What Makes A Perfect Outdoor Watch’

March 5th, 2022

Go with style and certainty into the great outdoors this spring. Outfitted with a timepiece that can withstand the elements and function with ease, you will be unstoppable on all of your excursions. We have put together a checklist of characteristics your ideal outdoor watch needs.

Magnificent Automatic Movement

When going out on the hiking trail or biking through town, you will want to be assured that your timepiece will stay powered. Automatic watches – also referred to as “self-winding” – are powered by the natural movement of the wearer’s wrist.

With an automatic watch, as long as you stay moving you will never have to worry about your watch running out of battery

Superb Stainless Steel

Function and aesthetic benefit from the durability of a watch case. The precision of your watch's timekeeping and complications can easily be jeopardized by impact or water damage depending on the materials used to create it. Of the many substances watches can be forged in, stainless steel is among the most durable.

Dense and scratch-resistant, steel makes for a perfect adventuring watch. For assurance that the timepiece will withstand the elements, choose a stainless steel piece like this sleek Bulova Marine Star watch.

Waterproofing

One of the most essential characteristics of a sport and outdoor watch is sufficient waterproofing. For things like running, biking, and playing sports, you will need a watch with a certain amount of water resistance because sweat, rain, and dew can easily cause malfunctions in your timepiece.

Diving watches are created to withstand both water damage and the massive amount of pressure that comes with being deep underwater. 

Durable Watch Strap

Another important characteristic of your outdoor watch to consider is the strap. NATO, rubber, and silicone straps are ideal for active lifestyles. Not only are they water-resistant and durable, but they are also much more breathable and comfortable than a metal or leather strap. These watch straps also allow the wearer a full range of motion.
