Most enthusiastic tourists sooner or later have a desire to buy a special watch for hiking. So that they are not afraid of water, withstand cruel treatment and delight with various tourist functions.

I came across one forum where a beginner was advised to look at a watch with a price tag of 1000+ bucks. Models of tourist watches for active use of a smaller price category labeled as “under-hours”. The arguments are simple, they say, “you’re not buying for a year.”

Such snobbery is of course amusing, but an unenlightened person, after such advice, will most likely refuse to purchase altogether. Statement that nice watch for hiking they should cost at least a thousand greenbacks - this is nonsense! A watch for $100 or even less will serve its owner for many years no worse than expensive models, despite aggressive use. Let's figure it out.

There will always be two types of people. Some remain adherents of wristwatches, while others prefer to look at the time on a mobile phone; it is more convenient for them and there is no point in convincing them otherwise. Let's not say now which is better. In my opinion, everything is obvious here. But when choosing a watch specifically for tourism, do not forget that the main purpose of any hiking watch is to show the time correctly and reliably withstand external loads, and it is also important to understand that most options are rather pleasant additions than a necessity.

I would divide watches suitable for hiking into two categories. Actually, they are tourist watches, designed specifically for hiking enthusiasts and are crammed with all sorts of options, and also, as I call them, “near-tourist watches” - these are watches that, in addition to displaying the time, can resist water and shock, plus simple functions such as a timer/stopwatch/alarm clock.

Why do they love tourist watches?

Functionality modern watches for tourism is very wide. But I will describe my attitude towards the most popular options:

Waterproof and shockproof

In my opinion, these are exactly the functions that primarily distinguish tourist watches from ordinary ones. Protection from water and shock is a must. Hiking is an extreme operating environment for your watch and exposure to moisture or accidental shocks are simply inevitable. We’ll talk more about water resistance in a separate post; I don’t want to overload the text.

Barometer

Displays current pressure. With its help you can forecast the weather for the next day. From the monitored indicators, the watch generates a graph of pressure fluctuations, from which the user can determine whether the weather will improve or worsen in the near future.

It’s simple, if the pressure drops sharply, then the weather will probably worsen and there may be rain, and if it rises sharply, then on the contrary, the weather will most likely improve. A straight graph indicates that the weather will be stable.

In general, a barometer is a very useful thing on a hike. If possible, choose a watch with this function; it can be very useful when traveling.

Altimeter (altimeter)

Shows altitude above sea level. It would seem that this is a very convenient and useful function for mountain hikers and climbers. But there is one “but”. The altimeter on the watch does not always display the altitude correctly.

This is because most altimeters measure altitude based on barometric pressure. Pressure tends to change not only with altitude, but also depending on the weather and even the time of day. Therefore, even if you stay at one point for a long time, you may notice fluctuations in the altitude readings of your wrist altimeter.

To get any benefit from your watch's altimeter, you must calibrate it from time to time. Let's say before a hike you are at a certain point, the altitude of which is marked on the map. To calibrate, you need to enter the current altitude data into the device. And if the weather conditions are stable during the hike, you will be able to get more or less accurate altitude data.

Indicators for calibration can be obtained, for example, at the peaks (from pointers), from marks on the map or from a GPS navigator. By the way, a GPS navigator measures altitude more accurately, since the data depends only on satellites.

Digital compass

Could be a nice addition. But if you are lucky with a watch model where the compass will work correctly. Many users have complaints about this. To the point that the compass on the watch lies ninety degrees or shows the correct direction every other time!

Like any other digital compass, it cannot be 100% accurate, but it should determine the cardinal directions with minimal error. Before going on a hike, you definitely need to take control measurements of the direction, checking with a regular magnetic compass, or better yet, with two. Remember that the electronic compass does not display the result immediately, it takes some time (up to 30 seconds).

As for me, the presence of a digital compass in a watch is not at all mandatory. I wouldn't rely on it alone and would still recommend duplicating it with the good old magnetic analogue.

Thermometer

Measures temperature environment. The indicators are quite accurate in most cases, but some features should be taken into account. Firstly, to correctly measure air temperature, the watch should be removed from your hand. Otherwise, the thermometer will “lie”, being influenced by body temperature. Secondly, the watch must lie down for at least 10 minutes to cool down and take on the air temperature.

A digital thermometer also requires calibration. And here you can use a little trick so as not to remove the watch from your hand every time. Go to a trusted source and calibrate the data directly on your hand, indicating the numbers of the actual air temperature. Or, empirically determine the difference between the indicators in the removed state and on the hand, and then, measuring the temperature on the hand, mentally subtract the resulting value. But these methods also have their drawbacks. The higher the air temperature, the stronger the body t influences the sensor, and at very low temperatures the opposite is true. It turns out that the previously obtained difference value may change. Conclusion: the watch still shows the most accurate temperature after “resting” a little from the hand.

Most often, a thermometer in a watch is capable of displaying a temperature range from -10°C to +60°C.

Sports buns

A separate segment is occupied by watches for an active lifestyle with a sports twist. Such devices can be equipped with a pedometer, calorie counter, heart rate monitor, etc. Quite useful functions, but if you are not involved in any kind of sports, then such functions are of no use on a hike.

Other features:

• alarms/sounds
• stopwatch/timer
• rotating bezel
• mineral glass
• LED lights
• displaying a table of tides and the age of the moon
• display of sunrise and sunset
• titanium strap
• solar battery

In addition to those listed, manufacturers equip individual models with such unimaginable functions that they are unlikely to be useful to an ordinary tourist, for example, a clinometer (a device for measuring vertical angles). All these bells and whistles are quite specific and are designed for the most demanding customers.

Most of the features in modern travel watches are more of a nice-to-have addition than a necessity.

Manufacturers producing tourism watches

Watches for tourists are now produced by many companies, the model range is quite wide, and the price range is corresponding. The most popular brands of tourist watches:

Suunto(Finland). The company has been producing watches since 1936. It specializes in watches for tourism, mountaineering, diving and other activities. Produces very high quality, but expensive watch. Nice design.

Casio(Japan). One of the most popular companies. It has a very large tourist and diving line. Excellent price/quality ratio.

Tissot(Switzerland). A very cool brand with a corresponding price tag. They make watches with a metal case and sapphire glass, but there is a drawback - poor water resistance compared to other companies.

Polar(Finland). Decent watch, but it focuses on sports functions. Their niche is rather sports. But besides sports training also great for hiking.

Timex(USA). They have many functions, good design for every taste.

Highgear(USA). Relatively inexpensive watches, but at the same time they have rich functionality.

Garmin(USA). The company is known for its GPS navigators, but also produces a line of sports and travel watches equipped with GPS receivers.

Many other companies also offer separate models of watches for extreme conditions, so the choice is actually simply huge.

Opinion

By and large, the main function of a watch is to display the time correctly, and any wrist device, even the cheapest, can handle this. But the life of a tourist involves staying in an aggressive environment and the influence of external factors on the device is inevitable. Therefore, it would be nice to have a mechanism that is protected from dust, water and shock.

Of course, each person has their own requirements. One will be satisfied with the time display and security, while the other will consider it mandatory for the watch to have modern navigation functions.

For myself personally, I have compiled the following list of minimum requirements: first of all, reliability, protection from water and damage, date display, stopwatch/timer, alarms, backlight. All other functions are optional options. At the same time, I don’t consider them superfluous, but it’s difficult to call them an absolute necessity.

Tell us in the comments what watch you use while hiking and why you love it. How much do you use the functionality of your watch and what functions are really useful on a hike?
