Within Sale > Equipment > Watches, find timepieces built for hiking, running, travel and water use. The selection spans simple field designs, sports and GPS options, ABC watches for mountain terrain, dive-focused models, and robust everyday pieces.

Durability starts with cases in stainless steel, titanium or reinforced polymer, paired with mineral or sapphire crystal. Look for solid crowns, protected buttons and a raised bezel to shield the glass. Sapphire resists scratches; polymer keeps weight low.

Water resistance ratings matter. 5 ATM covers rain and swimming; 10 ATM suits snorkeling and strong surf; 20 ATM handles high-impact water; ISO 6425 Dive marks scuba-ready designs. After saltwater or chlorine, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

Legibility is essential outdoors. High-contrast dials, lume or backlights, and always-on displays help in low light. Physical buttons are reliable with gloves and when wet; touchscreens are quick when dry. Vibration alerts cut through wind and traffic.

Power options vary. Rechargeable GPS and smart watches provide battery modes and, on some models, solar assistance for longer runtimes. Quartz designs use coin cells that last for years. Check expected hours for continuous GPS recording or multi-day routes.

Navigation and data features include GPS with multi-band support and ABC sensors: altimeter, barometer and compass. Breadcrumb trails, waypoints and trackback aid route finding. For training, look for heart rate tracking, activity profiles, interval timers and lap tools.

Fit influences comfort and accuracy. Case size, thickness and lug-to-lug length affect wear; straps in silicone, nylon or FKM rubber handle sweat and water. Care is simple: rinse after salt, charge before trips, and update firmware where relevant. To choose, match features to use: simple and tough for daily wear, higher ATM for frequent water time, ABC or GPS for navigation-heavy days. OutdoorXL offers a wide assortment with clear specifications to compare materials, water resistance, battery life and features.
