Sports watches have been around for decades. The world’s first sports watch came out in 1931 with the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso. Today's sports watch hardly look like their predecessors. Most contemporary timepieces have a rugged design without certain elements that characterise traditional watches, such as bezels.
The latest sports watches combine the design elements of analogue and digital timepieces, as well as the functionality of a smartwatch. That said, the type of watch that best fits a particular purpose or activity has a feature or two that differentiates it from the rest. Take diving watches, for instance. They prioritise water resistance capabilities as opposed to running watches.

Features to look for in a sport watch
A watch has to meet certain criteria to come under the sports watch classification. For example, it has to allow for recording and measuring metrics for various sports. It has to be durable, functional, and water-resistant. Lastly, the device has to resist bumps, scratches, and shocks.
Many smartwatches usually come with apps that track heart rate, distance covered, etc. However, they lack the key features of a sport watch despite having its primary function of sports tracking, such as durability and functionality. Here are some of the other features to look for in a sport watch.
- GPS tracking: Most sports timepieces boast GPS tracking, showing distance and speed. Some even offer on-screen maps for navigation.
- Heart rate monitoring: Many include built-in heart rate monitors or work with external straps, providing real-time feedback and tracking fitness progress.
- Device connections: Depending on your sport, you might need your watch to communicate with other devices like chest straps or sensors. Cyclists using power metres or cadence sensors benefit greatly from this.
- Smartwatch features: Many sports watches double up as smartwatches, offering notifications, payment options, and more.
- Music on the go: If music fuels your workout, choose a watch that controls your smartphone's music or stores music.
Choosing the right sports watch for you
- Touchscreen or classic buttons: It is up to each individual buyer to opt for a watch featuring a touchscreen display or classic buttons. If you want a model that doubles up as an elegant timepiece for work, you can opt for one with buttons.
- Purpose: It is important to consider the activities—back country hikes, snorkelling, or everyday workouts—and choose a watch with appropriate durability and battery life.
- Fitness: If you wish to wear a sports watch for your fitness activities, ensure it comes with a heart rate sensor and fitness profiles.
- Additional features: From GPS and heart rate tracking to sports and app compatibility, you must consider the additional features you need in your new sports watch.
Remember that the best model is the one that fits your needs and keeps you motivated.
