Travelling the world and taking in all its beautiful sights is on many peoples bucket lists. The beauty of travelling is, you can set your own boundaries and go for a few weeks to a few months at a time. Travelling is certainly something that comes highly recommended by my own friends and family, but they also have their own travelling advice- only take the essentials. Some of the essentials are simple, such as a backpack, first aid kit and a padlock, however, there are other accessories that may come useful during your travels such as a watch.
Why take a watch on your travels? Nowadays, watches have many functions outside of timekeeping such as tracking your fitness, tracking sleep, moon phase function, connecting to your smartphone as well as being suitable for swimming. If your watch is water resistant, it also means that you don’t have to worry about taking it off in the shower or whilst you are swimming in a nearby lake, it is an accessory that you need not take off as it has so many benefits.
If you are interested in taking a watch with you during your travels and are looking for some inspiration, then here are our recommendations on watches for travelling.
