A good travel watch can be a life saviour during travels. Whether it is something as small as a torchlight to navigate your seat on a flight, dual time zones to know the time back home, or automatic GPS readjustment and water resistance features, modern-day watches come along with some or all of these features. Some also run on sunlight allowing you to go through the day without changing its batteries or charging it, forever!
The Garmin Fenix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar with its phone connectivity, maps, and long-lasting battery life (that lasts around 18 days on one charge) along with a host of other travel-ready features, is one of the most traveller-friendly smartwatches in the market.
Some standout features of the smartwatch is the jet lag calculator that will help you switch from one time zone to the other during your travels.
The integrated flashlights are useful not only to navigate your seat during a red-eye flight, but also when you are trekking or hiking after sunset. These features make the timepiece one of the best options for different kinds of travellers.
A watch well-suited for surfers is the G-Shock GBX-100TT-8. With a rather long list of features, the watch comes in two different colour schemes. A blue one “represents the surf scene of today,” while the grey and black one stands for the “surf scene of yesterday,” as the brand puts it.
If you travel across time zones, this watch is a saviour for you, as it allows you to track time across 38 different time zones. Along with moon data, it also provides a tide graph (tide level for specific date and time), sunset and sunrise timings, and four daily alarms with snooze options. The smartwatch also allows you to have your phone on your wrist with the smartphone link.
The Tissot T-Touch solar is one where solar and smartwatch technologies come together to give you a travel-friendly piece. It is also a compact, small-sized watch that is not very heavy on the wrist, yet provides a list of interesting, interactive, and innovative functions.
The watch connects with your mobile device with Tissot’s proprietary app and allows you to sync messages, calls, and alerts. It even has a tactile crystal and an interactive screen; the health-monitoring function stands out.
Seiko’s Astron never needs a battery charge. It is the world’s first GPS Solar watch that will automatically adjust its time and location with a change in location. This allows the watch to run without charge.
The watch also allows a dual time zone function that allows you to keep track of time from various time zones.
Big on functionality and bold on design, the Citizen Promaster Nighthawk is an ideal travel watch that can be used for a variety of activities including aerial adventure activities and also underwater sports (it has water resistance of 200 metres underwater). It is the perfect watch for adventure lovers!
Among other features, the watch runs on light and does not require a battery change. Its dual-time displays allow time conversions and distance measurements to be performed while on-the-go. The rich-looking piece is not just ideal to add to your travel kit, but also to your watch collection; it will look equally chic at a formal party or a casual brunch, too!
