There are plenty of good reasons to consider the watch you take traveling: the right timepiece offers a sense of preparedness in a relatively unfamiliar environment; it can become part of lasting memories; and, of course, you want to catch planes, make meetings on time and beat jet lag.
Since travel forces you to select only the few items you'll be spending time with, you want to choose carefully. The right travel watch might be a dedicated tool with features specifically meant for tracking different time zones, one that's rugged and ready for adventure, or just one that you love and want as a travel companion. In the coverage below, we've got all you need to know about the watches that are best for day trips or globetrotting, as well as the tips, tricks, gear and solutions that'll enhance your excursions.
Travel is largely curtailed for many people around the world at the moment, of course, but we're optimistically looking forward to the chance to get away again. The following articles and the cool watches featured will get you ready and inspired to get back out there as soon as it's safe and responsible to do so.
