8 Sturdy Digital Watches To Consider Buying
Digital watches are more focused on function than their styles and designs.
One reason for this is that people who prefer digital watches over analog ones are interested into all that information that is crammed on the digital screens. Let’s check out the basic qualities that you should look for when you go shopping for your next digital watch?
Resistance to Shock & Water
The best watch to choose is with shock absorbing materials like urethane. If you’re not a swimmer then mild 30m resistance to water is good enough for you, but if you want to swim with your digital watch then it better be with 200m+ resistance.
Battery
One drawback of digital watches is that their batteries run out sooner than the battery of analog watches. They consume more energy. If you’re not on a budget then it’s wiser to spend a little more and buy a digital watch that’s solar powered and recharges itself.
Legibility
Digital watches have too much information to display on their screens. Although digital time is easy to read, too much information on the screen can spoil the face of your digital watch. So go for the watch that has a perfect balance of legibility and displayed information on screen.
Other Special Features
What’s the use of a digital watch if it doesn’t have extra features that make it stand out? If you have any preferences then find a digital watch that fits them. One common and appreciated feature of a digital watch is GSHOCKS. These GSHOCKS tell the altitude, temperature and atmospheric pressure. Other fancy digital watches might have GPS, world time and weather alerts.
Now that we have a list of what you should look for in digital watches, here are eight sturdy choices that would fit your taste and needs together.
