Tissot T-Touch Expert ($793.20)

Tissot combines the luxury of their classic watch collection with the versatility and functionality of an adventure ready travel watch. The Swiss are renowned for their watches, and Tissot is no different.

However, at the same time, nobody wants to bring a watch that should be in a vault on their trip to the Andes. The T-Touch offers that rarely found middle ground. Titanium construction, water tight design (up to 100 meters) and durable face allow it to be brought anywhere. It’s full suite of instruments, including compass, thermometer, altimeter, barometer and more make it the luxury explorer’s dream. Buy Now from Amazon

The all-digital watch functions more like a miniature weather station than just a watch.
