Outdoor watches for walking, travelling and adventure
An outdoor watch is designed for people who love being active and spending plenty of time outdoors. A sturdy build, clear readability and practical features are key. Whether you’re going for a walk, hiking, camping, travelling or simply looking for a robust watch for everyday use: at WatchXL you’ll find a range of models to suit an active lifestyle.
Our collection of outdoor watches comprises sporty and functional models from well-known watch brands. The features you need depend mainly on what you intend to use the watch for.
What makes a good outdoor watch?
Durability and ease of use are key features of a good outdoor watch. Think of a robust case, an easy-to-read dial, a strong watch strap and sufficient water resistance for your activities. Some models also feature sapphire crystal, backlighting or additional functions.
For hiking and mountaineering, for example, a watch with an altimeter might be worth considering. If you’re mainly looking for a watch for training and an active lifestyle, be sure to check out our sports watches too.
Robust outdoor watches from well-known brands
At WatchXL, you’ll find outdoor models from various brands. Luminox watches are renowned for their robust build and excellent visibility in low-light conditions. Timex also offers a range of functional models suitable for both outdoor use and everyday wear.
In addition, Citizen offers sturdy, sporty watches, including Eco-Drive models that use light to power the movement.
Which outdoor watch is right for you?
When choosing an outdoor watch, pay particular attention to the activities you intend to use it for. For hiking, comfort, weight and good readability are important. For water sports, water resistance plays a greater role, whilst for more intensive outdoor use you may place extra value on scratch-resistant glass and a sturdy case.
So look at features such as case size, weight, glass, water resistance, backlighting, movement and watch strap. Extra functions are useful if you actually use them, but a good outdoor watch doesn’t have to be complicated.
