An important tool to have for survival as well as travel, is a good watch. Whether you choose a wristwatch or a clip-on watch, having a multi-function watch is a good item to have on hand. Here are some of the functions you may want your watch to have:
- Ways to tell time (digital or analog)
- Alarm settings
- Altimeter
- Barometer
- Waterproof-ness
- GPS capability
- Compass
- Count down timer
- Assortment of time zone settings
And some watch pointers:

- Choose the watch that meets your needs, not what others think you "should" have.
- Choose a watch that doesn't weigh five pounds if at all possible. All of the little add-ons take up space and weight.
- Save the Pateks and Rolexes for times when it is appropriate. In most cases they draw too much attention.
- I know uniformity is valued by special ops teams and pin-point, synchronized timing can be necessary at times. however it is usually a dead give away when five "strangers" in the same immediate location all are wearing the exact same watch.
