Men's Watch Functions

Men's watches these days can do so much more than just tell the time. There is a broad range of other functions that a watch can offer, from some heavy duty sports functions, to more simple, everyday use such as calendars and alarms.

Calendar, Alarm and Moonphase watch functions

Some basic wrist watch functions include calendars which may show the day, month and date. Perpetual calendars take into account the varying number of days in a month and leap years. A moonphase function displays the phases of the moon, day, month and date. Other simple functions include second hands, dual time and watches with an alarm, which are perfect for heavy sleepers. Similar to an alarm is a watch with a "timer" - simply a device that signals intervals of time. So for example, some watches may have a timer that signals the passing of every hour.

Sports Functions

Specialist sports watch functions include chronograph - a watch that tells the time and acts as a stopwatch. Chronograph watches have become extremely fashionable and have developed into a style category all of their own. You can see examples of men's chronograph watches here.

Another sports watch function is the tachymeter, where you can measure your speed over a known distance using the second hand and the markings around the outside of the watch. And of course, most sports watches are made to be water resistant. Watches with an Altimeter function can measure altitude, or height above sea level. Recording ascent and descent, an altimeter watch is an important piece of equipment for climbers, walkers, mountaineers and, of course, aviators.

Telsar Watches

Other functions include feel good "Teslar" watches by Philip Stein. These reportedly help give the wearer deeper sleep, reduced stress and higher energy levels. This is because a chip inside the watch emits a unique signal that helps to better resist the potential negative effects of low-energy electro magnetic fields given off by electronic devices such as mobile phones.
