In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
If you’re an outdoorsman that takes frequent hikes and trips into the great unknown, you’ll benefit greatly from having an ABC watch. ABC (altimeter, barometer, and compass) watches have enough information on them to allow you to react to any situation without fail. Our ABC watch buying guide will help you choose the perfect watch for you! But, of course, there are some critical features that you need to know about. After, check out the products!
Waterproof: When a watch is waterproof, you can take it with you while swimming or showering. Some can even work while you’re scuba diving, as long as you don’t press any buttons while the watch is submerged.
Case Diameter: This is the size of the face of the watch or the part that holds all of the fancy features that you’re looking for. A larger face is easier to see at a distance, or when you’re active.
Functions: This is the number of functions that the watch was available. These are things like alarms, different time zone displays, calendars, and battery power indicators. Make sure you know all of the amazing things your watch can do!
Type: There are two types of watches on this list: digital clocks, which display the time as numbers, and analog clocks. Analog is the standard format where the hands tick around the numbers on the face of the watch.
Strap Material: Resin is by far the most popular strap material on our list. It’s pliable and won’t be uncomfortable to wear over time. Nylon and silicone are equally popular for the same reasons. Other options are polyurethane and titanium.
Gender: This only refers to whether the watch was intended for men, women, or both. Some watches have specific band sizes for whether they are men’s or women’s watches, but for the most part, this is personal preference.
Now we can get to our ABC watch reviews! One of these multifunction watches might become your new constant companion on through hikes and camping trips, so we’ve only compiled the best watches we could find. If you’re in a hurry, take a look at our top pick and our budget pick, but don’t hurry off just yet.
