Best 4 Sports watches for men
Posted: Jul 26, 2014
Timekeeping is not the only reason why men buy watches, these days. The advent of sports watches with cutting-edge technology and functions has ruled the watchmaking industry for the past few decades now. Leading men’s watches brands like Fossil make sports watches that can be accessorized for both, casual and formal occasions.
Chronograph is the most common yet least understood complication seen on the sports watches category, since the 1960’s. In simple words, a stopwatch built into a wristwatch. It was widely used by sportspersons and explorers around the world. For example, the Omega Speedmaster was worn by Apollo astronauts along with their space suits while F1 drivers sported Heuer chronograph models on the race tracks.
The basic design of a chronograph watch includes 2-3 subdials paired with a set of buttons or pushers at the side of the case. And each button corresponds to start, stop and reset timing function on the subdials.
Here is a list of best 4 sports watches for men:
