Have you ever wanted to look at your watch and know what direction you are headed? Whether you are an avid hiker, mountaineer, or serviceman, being able to locate north easily and accurately can be a life-saving feature at the flick of a wrist. What’s even better about these kinds of watches is that the compass is rarely the only feature included on the watch. Some of these watches can be used to start fires, let you know when the sun will set, keep time, locate your coordinates, and so on. Wearing a compass watch, even when not out in the field, can lend an air of confidence, knowledge, and resourcefulness to the wearer due to its recognizable aesthetic features.
