For special occasion it is a more suitable choice to pick a dress watch, but when the activities demand ultra-accurate measurement then a digital watch is the main solution.

With steel-hard, err.. I mean titanium-hard case, this type of watches will definitely go wherever you will go.

With simple design, common type of men’s titanium watches are sleek enough to wear indoors and rugged enough to use outdoors, something that you would probably found rare for other watches. But some manufacturers also installed enhanced features for these watches, name it multi-function chronograph, automatic titanium watch, one-touch interchangeable analog/digital time, and even being ecological friendly (as Seiko EcoDrive does).

As a specific meant-to-be, titanium military watch usually has chronograph movement that makes it highly functional as well as a piece of statement. As being made from titanium, the watch is extremely lightweight . Usually, even though it’s light-weight, the bulky head makes it heavier.

A common characteristic that you can find upon titanium watches, are their screw-secured caseback which is important if you’re looking a tough water-resistant watch. Along with it, are the easy to be seen under low-light which is made titanium watches have darker (usually, black) background for the time display.
