Just because your friend tells you that they love their watch doesn't mean you have to take their word for it. When it really comes down to the bare bones of it, you need to purchase the timepiece of your liking based on your lifestyle and activity level. Take as an example, the adventurous lifestyle. Travelers need a very durable watch. They need something that is unaffected by altitudes and water; something with a reliable time-set feature and preferably some way to set alternative time zones of frequently traveled locations. Your friend may be fine with a simple design, but maybe you have an obsession with scuba diving and absolutely need that water resistant timepiece recommended by experts.

The models that run on sunlight and continuous movement are wonderful because they will not require battery replacement over the years of use. They are also less problematic for the environment for the same reason. Therefore, the adventurer-type who likes hiking, boating, and other big outdoorsy activities will adore a watch like this. Eco-drive Citizen watches are one example. They have the touch of class ready for a business professional but also the power to survive tougher conditions. Another good option is to go with a Casio watch. The Casio Pathfinder solar watches can charge after a few minutes in the sun. These are only a few of the many solar options available to you.

Some luxury choices include Tissot watches. The T-Touch, in particular from their collection has a touch-sensitive screen that lets you switch easily between the built in compass, barometer, altimeter, thermometer, and more. Ultimately if you need accurate readings for a trip this is the wrist accessory you really want.

Athletic watches work in a similar fashion. If you thought technology ended with the stopwatch then you are really missing out on the kind of features you can take advantage of with a good purchase. Omega and Nautica watches are fairly indestructible. You won't need to worry about a little roughhousing, water, or dirt damaging their sports collections.

And the coolest part is that a majority of these models and brands make designs that look just as acceptable in the boardroom as they do out and about on vacation. That means they are excellent for business travel.

Basically, pick an accessory that best suits the kind of traveling you do. Always do research as to what watches work best in what conditions so that you make the best of your situation.
