Far more than an accessory, watches are capable of being used to do more than just tell the time. We all know the power that’s contained in something as simple as a smart watch, so it makes sense there are a number of features and uses that could be applied to a watch used for the outdoors, too. Enter: Survival watches. With the ability to tell the temperature, direction, weather and more, survival watches are an essential companion to have alongside you for any outdoor activity for their useful features alone. But, god forbid, should you get lost, they’ll also be there to help you find your way back. While we definitely don’t recommend relying on a survival watch alone (always make sure you follow the trail and do your research beforehand!), but you’ll be thankful you have one if you accidentally take a wrong turn along the way. Here are our seven favorites.
